Ridgefield Recording Studio Hosts Festival Rendezvous Music at Ives Concert Park

Rock Cottage Studio, a recording studio located on Route 7 in Ridgefield, has created Rendezvous Music Festival at Ives Concert Park in Danbury on August 14th.

The festival features several bands that bring a variety of genres and personas to the stage. The Bobby Paltauf Band and Pampalibros will start the day at 2, followed by popular New England artists The Primate Fiasco and Spiritual Rez. The headliner is a Trumbull-based Indy hit, Felly, who’s “Young Fel” EP will is available on Itunes July 24th. Rendezvous gives Felly fans the opportunity to be among the first to hear Felly’s new EP in a live setting.

The owners of Rock Cottage Studio, Andrew Schur and Drew Sennett, were Gathering of the Vibes attendees for the past four years and love live music. With the cancellation of Vibes this year, Andrew and Drew saw the opportunity to bring fans the festival they were left without. From Hip-Hop to alternative to blues, Rendezvous fills the void Vibes left. It is this drive to bring musical variety to their community that led them to Horns For Kids, a Hamden based charity that buys and repairs instruments for deserving schools around Connecticut.

Rendezvous will be donating its profits to Horns For Kids who, since 2003, has donated instruments to over 300 CT schools and continues to do so. Rock Cottage Studio has put on events for the benefit of Horns For Kids in the past, including bi-monthly band nights at the Lumberyard Pub in Redding, and the occasional show at Rock Cottage Studio.

In addition to the music, there will be a panel of professional musicians talking about musical opportunities throughout life. Andrew and Drew have seen first hand how the idea of a musical career is destroyed by the “starving artist” illusion and hope to broaden kids’ musical horizons. Rock Cottage Studio has worked with several local community centers in the past and will be bringing the kids of these community centers to Rendezvous to talk with the musicians.
