From VOX:

The unapologetically herself rock guitarist, Alexx Calise, of BATFARM joins us in celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth. Growing up in a family of musicians, from violinists to luthiers, meant that Calise was no stranger to the greats of the industry! Inspired to start playing music from listening to her father's epic renditions of ""Michelle"" by the Beatles, & The James Bond theme song, Alexx felt music in her blood & bones and by age 11 she picked up the guitar and ran with it. During the late 80s & early 90s, the grunge era emerged & became one of the biggest genres to impact the world of music. From Soundgarden to The Toadies, the raw edginess of the genre stood out & Alexx couldn't get enough!

DIRTBAG Endorsed Artists ETERNAL FREQUENCY have won the Unsigned Artist Talent Search, and will perform at the 2023 BLUE RIDGE ROCK FEST this September. 

Since Blue Ridge Rock Festival was founded, providing opportunity to Unsigned Bands has always been a priority. In 2023 that tradition continues as they welcomed the first of several unsigned Talent Search Winners receiving paid slots on this year's Lineup! First up - ETERNAL FREQUENCY: The multi-award winning five piece female fronted all original hard rock band hailing from Central Pennsylvania. This unsigned, independent national recording act follows in the footsteps of acts such as Spiritbox, Halestorm, Evanescence and others. Blending influences of Metalcore, Hard Rock and Industrial, Eternal Frequency brings a new energy that is also dominated by vocalist, songwriter, and frontwoman, Emelle.

As far as accomplishments go they've had the pleasure of performing at some of the biggest rock festivals in the country as well as sharing the stage with established artists such as KORN, Shinedown, Five Finger Death Punch, Ice Nine Kills, Of Mice & Men, and Motionless in White. EF had the pleasure to honor Halestorm (Inductees) with their rendition of "Familiar Taste of Poison" at the 2020 Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame Awards.

BLLUE RIDGE ROCK FEST will take place September 7-10, 2023 at the VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY in Alton, VA.

Tickets, camping, and payment plans available now.

California's biggest rock festival is back for its eighth annual bash.. and this time, DIRTBAG Endorsed Artists BLUE MIDNIGHT have made the bill.

The festival takes place October 11-13 at Discovery Park near Downtown Sacramento, CA. Many acts are set to perform, including: Slipknot, Dropkick Murphys, Lamb of God, HALESTORM, Sum 41, Stone Temple Pilots, Blink 182, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Korn, and many more...

BLUE MIDNIGHT is the brainchild of frontlady, Justine Glaser-- and the group has swiftly established themselves as the stargate to a new genre, which they firmly classify as 'Dream Metal'.

BLUE MIDNIGHT will be performing on the Monster Energy stage, opening up the day, and warming up the stage for the triumphant return of TOOL at the end of the night.. an all-time favorite of Justine's. This will be BLUE MIDNIGHT's first music festival performance.

“We are ready to roll! The guys and I are so excited to be a part of this and there are so many amazing bands on this bill. I think the best thing about music festivals is that people go to listen and enjoy music. Performance-wise, we are going to be feeding off the energy of the crowd. I love that we are going to be playing in front of a crowd of die hard music fans.”
