A lot of people ask what RockStock Company is, or how we got started. Truth is, when we got our start none of the eight founding freshmen had any idea how big this would get. It all started with my dream to bring a concert with my friends Slingshot 57 to the Spoon River College campus in Canton, IL. Soon after sharing this vision with Ashley Rude and Larissa Wages, they were hooked. Dane Stroemer came aboard soon after. Eight college freshman went on to promote and produce one of the best rock shows Canton had ever seen in April 2005 when Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, John Reuben, Dizmas, and Slingshot 57 rocked a packed Alice Ingersoll Gym on a Sunday night in front of over 950 people.

 

After some time off, God opened doors and we started doing concerts again. After several successful shows for over 1,200 people in 2006, RockStock Company is off to a booming start in 2007. Expanding in multiple directions and adding services such as production rental and event planning, RockStock Company has truly become a rising star in the music industry.

 

Our purpose is simple- to bring music fans more than concerts that rock. We want them to go away with an experience unmatched by other concerts they attend. We want them to experience their favorite artists in settings that provide memorable experiences, and we want to do it for a reasonable price. That’s why RockStock Company events are never priced above the national average for tickets to events that tour nationally.

 

In 2007 RockStock Company is taking the first steps to become a national influence, organizing and promoting events in various regions of the country. This is all possible because of people like you who have supported us since day one over two years ago. Without your support, Dane, Ashley, myself, as well as new members Tyler Smith, Timothy Gerst, Aaron Clayton, Alex Stout, and Landan Callahan would not be able to produce the RockStock Company events that you have come to expect from us. So you see, it’s really not about us. It’s about you and your continued support of our efforts to rock your socks off!

 

Thanks again for your support!
