New Jersey/New York fixture Joe D’Urso will present the 2018 Rockland Bergen Music Festival on the borders of Rockland and Bergen counties in Tappan, New York. The festival, now in its fifth year, will be held Friday, June 22 through Sunday, June 24 at German Masonic Park, 89 Western Highway, Tappan New York. The 2018 Rockland Bergen Music Festival will present sixteen artists on two stages and fifteen non-profit organizations to realize D’Urso’s vision of a musical event that combines great music and important causes.
Early bird tickets are on sale now at www.rocklandmusicfestival.com. Anyone born in the calendar year of 1968 will be admitted to the festival free of charge in celebration of their 50th birthday.
“As we head into our fifth year of the Rockland Bergen Music Festival, we keep fine- tuning what we have been told is a very laid back and enjoyable experience. The unique German Masonic Park lends itself to the stripped down feeling of the whole weekend. This is a professional production while at the same time feeling like an extended family BBQ with lots of great musicians, some who happen to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy Award winners,” says D’Urso.
“We will once again have two stages of music with no overlapping sets so all in attendance can see every performance. The stage on the field this year will be called the Glow-Seeger Stage and it will once again be sponsored by Cannataro Park Avenue Financial. The stage in the food and beverage court is the Mr.Lou/Stefan’s Turning Point Stage.
“Our Festival mission statement reads: to bring great music to the beautiful areas of Rockland and Bergen counties while raising awareness and consciousness of many organizations that are doing great work in various fields of health and humanity and have them be discovered and supported by music fans. We realize that, unto itself, is unique among festivals.”
This years featured artists include Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, Steve Forbert, Joe Grushecky, Jeffrey Gaines, Joe D’Urso & Stone Caravan, Jim Boggia’s “Bruce Off Broadway”, Joe Delia & The Thieves, Anthony D’Amato and many more.
