Here’s what one of our prior local bands tells us about their Festival in the Park experience – Greg Escoe, of Madrone

“We want to first thank Festival in the Park! Our previous performances with your festival helped the band to land on stages at Floydfest and the Millennium Music Conference, also sharing bills with Shinedown, Staind, 3 Doors Down, Theory of a Deadman several times last summer!  The band is about to impact rock radio with their new single “Daybreak” and is being courted by major labels…we would love to be a part of Festival in the Park again…”
