Maryland's Ultimate Musical Family Reunion! Annual 2 Day Music Festival to benefit The Nicole Van Horn Trust and The Catch a ... Lift foundation. We came together through the dream of Stan Gibson, a local musician, fan and compassionate humanitarian. He created a page on Facebook called "Baltimore Bands from the 70s 80s 90s" with the intention of bringing together musicians, fans, venues and members of the golden age of LIVE music in the Baltimore Metro area about 5 years ago . We are a virtual community of 7,500+ avid lovers of LIVE music, and growing. Stan dreamed of bringing the online community together in a LIVE music event! In October 2013, our first Stanstock event, this dream was realized. After successful follow-up events in 2014, 2015 and 2016, Stanstock has become an annual Baltimore musical tradition. We have a humanitarian purpose - raising funds for cancer research and treatment and for wounded veteran rehabilitation. The results we produced over the past three events were beyond our imaginings. Relationships were renewed as bands, fans, and the nightclub community from "back in the day" were reunited. More importantly, however, we met our fund raising objectives and presented all net proceeds to these two charities In 2016 we are partnering with The Hope and Peace Foundation on September 11th for a ceremony remembering not only those who died on 9/11 but also honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars since 9/11. All STANSTOCK, Inc. management, volunteer staff, and the 100+ musicians are donating 100% of their time and talent for these worthy causes. read more
