Bearstock 2011

Every spring, Georgia's own Mercer University hosts a free day of music and fun- the annual Bearstock music festival.  Crowds gathered in the early afternoon in Tattnall Park to listen to the wide variety of local musicians Bearstock offered; from Christian rockers Ocean Is Theory to hip hop group JuBee and the Morning After.  This year's headlining acts included popular hip hop performer Roscoe Dash and electronic rock band 3OH!3.
Crowds enjoy the entertainment and atmosphere of Bearstock.
Personally, I was very impressed with local performers theKey and Parachute Musical, two indie rock groups that showcased the talent, stage presence, and innate drive to excel in the music industry.

After hours of anticipation, camaraderie, and many photos snapped on my Canon Rebel, Roscoe Dash took to the stage with 17 of his closest friends in tow. Dash performed many of the hit tracks he has been featured on like Soulja Boy's "All The Way Turnt Up," and Waka Flocka Flame's "No Hands."  The crowd was radiating with energy by the time Dash was finished, but things were only heating up for 3OH!3.
The Colorado natives got the crowd going when they opened up with "Starstrukk" and kept up the momentum with even more of their electronic-infused hits like "Touchin' On My" and "House Party."

 Bearstock serves as a great music festival for those of us who are unable to attend the larger festivals of this season like Coachella or Bonnaroo. To learn more about up-and-comers theKey and Parachute musical, visit the links below:
