New Location: Veteran’s Memorial Field, Oneida
(Oneida, NY- July 2014) ArcStock Music Festival will be held starting at noon Saturday, July 26, at the Veteran’s Memorial Field in Oneida. This year’s event will feature music performed by three of the area’s hottest country music bands, SAMMY Award-winner Custom Taylor Band, The Fulton Chain Gang and TJ Sacco and The Urban Cowboys.
Kicking off ArcStock will be TJ Sacco and the Urban Cowboys, known for their country style combined with a little bit of rock-and-roll. A favorite at the New York State Fair, TJ Sacco performs throughout central New York both acoustically and with his band. Major influences in his musical style came from Gary Allen, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.
The Fulton Chain Gang will then take the stage. The “Gang” has spent the last two decades entertaining audiences throughout New York. Their country rock style of music attracts music-lovers from all over and they have shared the stage with national acts such as Billy Currington, Joe Diffie, Rodney Atkins, Sammy Kershaw, Tracy Lawrence and Toby Keith.
The Custom Taylor Band will be closing the show at ArcStock. The award winning Custom Taylor Band is central New York’s premier Top 40 country music band and has opened for Nashville acts such as Big & Rich, Craig Morgan, Mark Chestnut, Diamond Rio, Joe Diffie and Tracey Lawrence.
“What a lineup we have,” said Wayne Horning, special project director for ArcStock. “It will be a day filled with great music and everyone will be supporting a great cause.”
In addition to music, ArcStock offers a craft show and sale; food will be provided by the Oneida Booster Club.
ArcStock will begin at noon for a suggested donation of $10 per person; kids under 10 are free.
Kicking off ArcStock at 10 a.m. will be the 11th annual Ride for the Arc, a motorcycle run sponsored by the Red Knights Chapter, XIX. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and will cost $20 per person, which includes admission to ArcStock.
