Friends, we still have about 6 website ads available. Not only will they run during the crunch of Maplewoodstock (ready to SPIKE in the next 10 days), but they will also run on our website for about a year as we upload videos and photos taken that weekend.
So … if’n you wanna promote your local business for a VERY reasonable rate, give us a quick shout at maplewoodstock [at] gmail.com so we can jam your ad in very quickly.
And, BTW, all our bands, and food vendors, and artists booths are SOLD OUT. We love y’all, but we are 100% FULL. Thanks and much love for all your support that keeps this event FREE without any other financial support from the town or ANYTHING or ANYONE else.
Hey folks, we’re real proud of the lineup we’ve curated for you this year in keeping with our mission to bring y’all the best free music festival we can that is of and for our community.
Did you know that of the 22 bands slated for the two days, a whopping 17 of those bands have never played Maplewoodstock before?
Wow! You folks are awesome! We have completely SOLD OUT of all our artist tables AND all our advertising slots.
Sorry, but we are at 100% maximum capacity for artist vendor tables. No more spots left. None.
We only have a few website advertising left and one or two special sponsorship opportunities. If interested in either of those, contact Gary at gshippy [at] msn.com.
Yo yo, folks. We have locked down our artists performance schedule for the weekend. Check it out!
Day 1 and Day 2
Our t-shirts have arrived, and we will be selling them this Sunday, May 22, 2011, at Mayfest on Springfield Ave. in Maplewood. Come on out, say hi to Gary, and buy a twelve pack!


We also have lawn signs as part of our full Pledge Pack.

Malo’s latest album (Sinners & Saints) was self-produced in his home studio and is brimming with deeply personal beliefs and passions. It is the most intimate, honest and complex album he has made in an already distinguished career. You will hear in it a lifetime’s journey, from the singer and songwriter’s youth in the Cuban neighborhoods of Miami through his years with hit country band the Mavericks to his place today as one of the most intriguing and talented artists in the Americana and World Music scenes.
Malo will close out Saturday’s schedule (July 9) for Maplewoodstock 2011.

Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars, and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, New Jersey’s own The Smithereens was an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late ’80s.
For the past quarter century, this iconic rock band has toured non-stop, recording and releasing Gold and Platinum albums that spawned countless Top 40 radio hits.
The Smithereens will close out Maplewoodstock 2011 on Sunday night, July 10.

Yep, folks. We got 60+ band application. We are closed. Stay tuned as we review all submissions.
However, we are still looking for some more t-shirt design submissions until April 4. You get fame, glory, and a gift certificate to a local restaurant. So, all you local graphic artists out there in our (very) artistic community: get busy!
