This does take some time so bare with us, but it will be worth the wait. one Last thing I'd like to share is our sponsorship in the "Cinco De Slaughter" Event happening June 5th at 1403 Ridge Rd (Rt.20) W. Springfield, PA 16443. $10 entree fee (no refund), free camping, music from 1pm-2am and featured headlines are Stemm and Scarwork. Be sure to catch other bands such as Waiting for Never, Storm King, Law of Destruction, Sever, and more. Check out rockerie.com for the promotional ad. ]]> admin Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:24:56 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com admin Thu, 01 Apr 2010 15:11:44 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com admin Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:24:33 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com April 1, 2010. The plan has changed to encourage more players to get up and perform. We are not going to use a "house band" as we did last year. Each performer will receive one free drink per night. Players will sign up for a one half-hour set when they arrive at the Library on Open Mic Night. Play times will be on a first come first serve basis. Each set will be 30 minutes long, so avoid using a lot of equipment and be ready to play as soon as your set starts. The acoustics are great and we have an excellent PA system.

This is on us now...ALL of us. If we do not care about ourselves, how can we expect the public to? Like I said.....I will keep bugging you!!!! LOL Thanks for reading, as always Jeff ]]> admin Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:54:34 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com Please forgive the pun but when I last ran RockErie.com from Fall 2006 through Summer 2008, I was a ONE MAN band (sorry......had to do it! LOL) All kidding aside, though, there is an entire team behind me now because honestly, I am out of the office a ton selling. I think some of you have been frustrated in that it takes me a few days or more to get back to you but its the nature of the selling beast. At any rate, if you have any tech questions, your RockErie page does not work, you cannot get into the Rock Erie Music Awards site, the embed code does not work, you want to know how to fill out the form, you want information on how to enter, etc, etc, please contact: Ben Smith bsmith@goerie.com 814-878-2235 Ben is the primary tech guy on RockErie and the advantage for you is that unlike me he is in the office most of the time AND he can get back to you within a day or two---usually the same day! If there is a question that Ben cannot answer, he will involve me but you will find out that he will be able to help you 99.9 percent of the time. Thanks in advance for reading this and understanding Jeff ]]> admin Sat, 13 Jun 2009 22:16:26 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com Its not reflected on the site yet (www.rockeriemusicawards.com) but let me be the FIRST TO TELL YOU that we have extended the entry deadline to July 6th. Voting is now July 13th through August 29th There is NO reason why you shouldnt do the awards this year. Listen, I have heard from the scene since I have been back "Its just a popularity contest" "Not winning hurts my band" "Its too disappointing to lose" "The categories are weighted badly" Etc....etc Are you forgetting why we started all this? Hey...do not get me wrong...I DO NOT like losing anymore than the next person but the point of the event is not who wins and loses. I wish we did not have the competition aspect sometimes but in 3 years I have not been able to figure out a way around that. The bottom line is we are shining a MASSIVE SPOTLIGHT on the scene for months upon months. I can bet that in this 3 years we have: *Gained new fans for participating bands and musicians *Given people in this community the idea that our music scene is ALIVE and WELL and its FUN to see local musicians do their thing. *Taken people that might not have otherwise seen live, local music and turned them into folks that come to see you play Have we gotten the whole market? No! We have only just begun. Rome was not built in a day! We have to continually remind people that we exist and the RockErie Music Awards is our best vehicle to do that. Sorry if I seem as if I am venting but when I hear things that seem to focus just on the competition aspects of the awards show while forgetting that the overarching point of this show is to market, promote and glorify the Erie Music Scene, I get a little irritated. So, get your entries in. Ultimately we only hurt ourselves when we fail to support something that is there to help out the entire music scene Thanks for reading Jeff Biletnikoff RockErie.com ]]> admin Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:05:42 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com admin Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:22:34 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com ]]> admin Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:39:18 +0100 http://www.rockerie.com And remember: SUPPORT THE SCENE!

RockErie. com and Celebrate Erie '08 have teamed up to bring EXCITING things to local artists this year. First of all, Celebrate Erie '08 was so excited to have local artists last year that you are now going to get PAID for your efforts. This is a definite and you read right. ARTISTS WILL GET PAID for their time at Celebrate Erie this year on the LOCAL stage. Soon, we will book the local stage with winners from last year's RockErie Music Awards and we respectfully ask for YOUR HELP in offsetting some costs for Celebrate Erie! All we ask is that you and your fans attend a special fundraiser at Jr's Last Laugh Comedy Club and Restaurant on Wednesday, 5/21/08 (doors open at 5, event starts at 6:30). THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO EVERYONE!!!! Tickets are only $12.88 88 and half goes to CAFE' (Culture, Arts, Festivals, and Events of Erie, the 501(c)(3) non-profit company that runs Celebrate Erie) Comics include the VERY FUNNY Brad Zimmerman and Buzz Nutley plus an appearance by me as MC. You'll learn quickly why as producer of the RockErie Music Awards '07 I hired a pro comic. It's worth the 12 bucks just to see me bomb on stage. I ask this as a personal favor to all local musicians and their fans. PLEASE attend this special night. Again, the ticket price is ONLY $12.88 and 1/2 goes into SUPPORTING THE SCENE. We are planning on no less than 12 bands on the local stage, with 45 minute sets and EVERYONE gets paid. That is unprecedented at Celebrate Erie for that many LOCAL bands to get paid (A SPECIAL thank YOU to Mayor Sinnott and the entire Celebrate Erie '08 committee) It wouldn't be possible without Celebrate Erie stepping up to make a MAJOR committment to you. Let's try and give something back to them by coming to the event and encouraging EVERYONE we know to attend. You can get details at http://rockeriemusicawards. com/fundraiser or call Jr's Last Laugh Comedy Club & Restaurant at 461-0911 Together we can SUPPORT those that are SUPPORTING the scene! Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation.
