Update 1/19/17: Thievery Corporation, Rob Garza, Dirtwire (ft. David Satori of Beats Antique), and Moondog Matinee have all been added to this festival lineup!
This Friday, an online music and arts festival is scheduled for webcast as an alternative to the “Unpresidented” Trump Inauguration. Streamstock 2017 will see performances from Lettuce, Reed Mathis & Electric Beethoven, Tom Hamilton’s American Babies, Holly Bowling, San Geronimo, Hot Buttered Rum, David Gans, Eufórquestra, The Garcia Project, Acoustically Speaking, Thievery Corporation, Rob Garza, Dirtwire (ft. David Satori of Beats Antique), Moondog Matinee, and the debut performance of Bill Kreutzmann’s Rooster Conspiracy. These artists will use the opportunity to raise awareness for progressive causes and take on Trump’s Inaugural ceremony by webcasting at the same exact time.
More artists are going to be announced in the coming days. Streamstock 2017 is of the people, by the people, and for the people, so we expect the concept to catch on to artists as big as the ones who turned down the actual Inauguration.
As for Bill Kreutzmann’s Rooster Conspiracy, the band’s lineup is going to be revealed, in part, through a scavenger hunt of sorts through social media pages. An official announcement will be made on Thursday. Because this will run simultaneously as Inauguration coverage, it will start early AM, EST. A detailed schedule is forthcoming.
The event is continuing to accept links from musicians/bands, and performers. All you need to do is provide a YouTube video link of your own performance, and let them know your cause . Include a link to your own music/artist webpage, and send everything to streamstock2017@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is January 18.
