The History of Rock 'n Roll Concert Festival

Join Stage 284 and the Fabulous School of Music for a 3-day rock ‘n roll coaster ride featuring songs from your favorite artists from the 50s to today! This 3-day festival will feature young artists and adults from the North Shore, as well as monster rock band Higher Ground. Guitarist Erin Burke-Moran, just back from a world tour with local legend Caspian, will be directing the event and Cynthia August will be the M.C. Audiences will take an exploratory journey through 3 decades’ evolution of music.

“After all the fun we had last year, we couldn’t say no to giving it another whirl. We’re back, this time to lay out a history of how Rock ‘n Roll got here. We’re packing in even more bands and we are bringing some local headliners in to really spice up the action. I’m so happy that my band Capsian can be a part of this as well. We’ve been all over the world but we love supporting good causes like Stage 284 and everything it represents to the community surrounding it.” Erin Burke-Moran of Capsian - Website

Erin acquired a B.A. in Music with a concentration in classical guitar from Gordon College where he cultivated a deep appreciation for music theory. He also studied Jazz Theory with Les Harris of Berklee College of Music shortly after and this continued to deepen his understanding and interest in music’s wonderful chemistry. Currently, Erin is a private and group instructor at the Fabulous School of Music in Beverly.

During her magic years in NYC she worked extensively on and off Broadway, in TV and film and taught drama both at private schools and University. Upon moving to Boston, she changed her career - she’s now a commercial photographer - but will never deny her first love.
