DISTRICT 97 ANNOUNCED FOR ROSFEST 2011

Rosfest is very pleased to announce District 97 at RoSfest 2011!

District 97 comes to us from Chicago and is a band  that formed in the Fall of 2006 by drummer Jonathan Schang, keyboardist Rob Clearfield, bassist Patrick Mulcahy and guitarist Sam Krahn. The foursome from Chicago honed a no-holds barred style of Liquid Tension Experiment inspired Instrumental Rock before deciding the right vocalist was needed to complement their sound; enter 2007 American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist, Leslie Hunt. With a look, sound and stage presence comparable to a young Ann Wilson from Heart, Leslie's dynamic performances pushed the band into a new direction that forged a unique marriage between accessible, catchy vocal melodies and an adventurous instrumental prowess. The band is rounded off with Katinka Kleijn, cellist extraordinaire from the world-renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra and one of Chicago's finest young guitarists, Jim Tashjian. With this new lineup of peerless musicianship in place, District 97 began wowing crowds and establishing a devoted fanbase through packed shows at legendary Chicago venues such as House of Blues, Schubas and Martyrs'. In May 2010, the band signed with Laser's Edge Records, and will oversee a worldwide physical and digital release of District 97's debut effort, Hybrid Child, in September 2010.

The band now heads east to play at Rosfest  and you can catch their show on Sunday May 22^nd playing the second slot.

RoSfest Moves to the Majestic Theater

RoSfest is excited to announce that we are moving our festival to the Majestic Theater in historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  The town is located midway between many major cities including Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington DC, and Philadelphia.  It is serviced by 4 major airports within a 75 mile radius, the closest being the Harrisburg international Airport (35 miles),  Baltimore-Washington International Airport (55 miles), Reagan National Airport (68 miles), and Dulles International Airport (75 miles).  The Majestic Theater is an elegantly decorated theater with 815 comfortable seats, a world-class stage, and modern technical facilities.   Its features include a balcony, a great view from every seat, accessibility, and plenty of space for vendors and activities.  The town boasts many watering holes and great restaurants within walking distance of the theater, including the Appalachian Brewery Company.  Adequate parking for all of our guests is available in a garage next to the theater.  We feel that we have found our permanent home and we know that everyone attending RoSfest 2010 will feel the magic of this lovely town and the Majestic Theater.  All the information, including pictures of the theater, is posted and available on the RoSfest website at http://rosfest.com/Majestic Theater.htm

We have also secured two hotels for our guests.  The historic Gettysburg Hotel right next door to the theater has available 50 rooms per night for the three-night performance at a group rate of $139.00  This is a convenience that is unmatched, but the number of rooms is not sufficient as our main host hotel.  Fortunately, we were able to secure a group rate of $114.00 at a hotel that can accommodate our entire group and their needs 5 miles from the theater, the Eisenhower Hotel and Conference Center.  All of the bands will be staying at the Eisenhower, and all after-hours events will be held there.  There are also many other hotels in the Gettysburg area to choose from with rates as low as $75.00 per night.  All the information is posted and available on the RoSfest website at http://rosfest.com/Lodging.htm .  I would make reservations as soon as possible, as the rooms available at the group rate will sell out quickly. 

What I liked best about the new theater is the way it took me back to the days of the Colonial Theater, but with a complete and beautiful restoration.  In addition, the town has the charm and amenities of Phoenixville and Glenside combined.  I’m sure that RoSfesters will be happy when they come to Gettysburg in 2010 and I have a feeling that it will be magical. 

Look for band updates in the next few weeks.  Gold seat tickets will go on sale November 5^th 2010 at 12 Noon EST.  All tickets are reserved seating.  The date for Regular seat ticket sales will be announced soon.  A seating chart for The Majestic is on the RoSfest website.
