About

The Colony Music Festival is poised to be the next legendary, world-class music festival, set in beautiful and scenic Alaska. There's just something about Alaska in the summer, it's beauty is awe inspiring. It's picturesque views the Norman Rockwell backdrop for what will be one of the top "must attend" music festivals in the nation for 2013.

My name is Greg Smith and I've been attending music festivals around the country for a number of years now. But it only took once, my first time at a festival, and I was hooked. There's something surreal and magical about the festival experience. Everyone needs to go to a music festival at least once in their life. But sometimes, people just don't have the time or money to go. Did you know that at least 1 in 3 people asked has never even been to a concert? For a music lover and festival fanatic like myself, that's a little hard to swallow.

My intention with this project is to hold a world-class, 2 day music festival where people can come for the weekend, see as many as 28 different concerts virtually back-to-back over the course of a weekend. The festival will play host to some big name artists, some lesser known artists attendees may find they enjoy, as well as give a few local artists the opportunity to perform on one of two main stages and be seen ... an opportunity they may not otherwise have. Little known fact: Alaskans are incredibly creative and there is a lot of yet-to-be-discovered talent. As just a small example: bands like Portugal, The Man and 36 Crazyfists got their starts in the bars and small stages of Alaska. What could be more amazing than the trip of a lifetime, coming to Alaska, spending the weekend immersed in the experience of a music festival, amazing artists serenading you while you take in the breathtaking views?

I think that's a pretty epic way to spend a weekend! I hope you do too. If you do, please consider a contribution. Whether you can afford $10 or $10,000, it all helps. If you think about it, it would only take 2,000 people to contribute $25 to attain our funding goal ... and at the $25 funding level, you get a really awesome, Kicksterter Exclusive Design T-Shirt!

Please Contribute to The Colony Music Festival ... you'll not only be making my dreams come true, but allowing so many people who wouldn't normally get to take in the festival experience the opportunity for a once in a lifetime weekend.
