Searching for Cornerstone Festival in 2015
Excerpts from a blog by Jay Newman. Click through to read the entire post! http://badchristian.com/searching-for-cornerstone-festival-in-2015/
“I stood among the cornstalks as they danced in the wind, swaying as though they knew they were rooted in hallowed ground. I stared at them for what must have been hours, moving down the rows as the ghosts of dancers past glided between fields. I came here to see what it looked like now – to see if there was anything left. Over there was where we always camped. And behind me was the food court and Gallery stage. Down the way, past the lake, was where they used to have the Main stage. All of this used to be Cornerstone Festival. Now it’s only corn.”
“For three decades Cornerstone was one of the major Christian music and arts festivals. But it always stood alone within that category. You can listen to veterans of the fest talk about it, read memorials on their blogs, and while no one can quite put their finger on why, everyone agrees this place was different. Ask any of the bands that played. They’ll tell you... The appeal transcended the typical draw of a festival and brought people from vastly differing demographics from gutter punk to pop mainstream and everything in between. This was a place of belonging. There were a lot of reasons for this and I’m sure you can find many who have articulated it better than I can. But the hard reality is that place is gone.”
“Cornerstone is our heritage, but Audiofeed is our future. I am making an appeal here. To all of you who loved Cornerstone, the tens of thousands who attended and felt something like home there, I want you to know you have a new home. The word has been slow to get out but it’s growing. You can go to Bushnell, Illinois and stand among the ghosts – but all that’s really there now is corn. But if you come to Urbana, Illinois on July 1st-4th , you might find something you recognize even though you’ve never seen it before. Come and see.”
Shake performed at audiofeedfest 2014.
Video of us performing my song "Left Handed Son" on the Radon Stage the first night of audiofeedfest. This was only the second time I had performed with a backing band. The first time was the night before playing a show with Levi the Poet in South Bend, IN. I feel very proud and thankful that my friends not only agree to play music with me that I feel passionately about but are also extremely gifted musicians that can practice twice and make things sound incredible.
Unofficial Cornerstone Guide Tumblr Meetup at Audiofeed
Continuing the tradition we started at Cornerstone Festival, I would like to host a tumblr meetup on the first official day of Audiofeed Festival this year! If any of you will be making the journey to Champaign/Urbana, I'm planning to have a get-together on Thursday, July 3rd, time and exact location TBA. We can grab a lemon shakeup and reminisce about Cornerstone, and maybe even watch a show together.
Will anyone be joining me?
We have been attending Creation Northeast for the last few years but can't make it this year (2014). We are looking for another Christian festival. Can you tell me the dates of Cornerstone 2014? Thanks!
Unfortunately, Cornerstone held its last festival in 2012.
But you may want to look into Audiofeed Festival. It’s a new festival started up by old Cornerstoners and it’ll be held on July 3-5 in Champaign-Urbana, IL. Check out audiofeedfestival.com
