Celebrating the legacy, revitalizing the careers, and preserving the history of American music & musicians.
We have had 13 insane, amazing, rockin’ Ponderosa Stomp Festivals over the last 20 years! We are grateful for the musicians, fans, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and everyone else in the Stomp family who have helped us put together these remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime performances and events. The Stomp Festival has always been a labor of love, not a profitable endeavor, and would not have been possible with the work and support of so many people. While normally the next Festival would be taking place this year, in 2019, we have decided we are not going to have a Festival this year and will instead focus our limited resources on presenting smaller shows and other projects, such as The Stomp’s A Closer Walk website. While it is possible that the Stomp Festival may return down the road, for now we are just grateful for all the wonderful memories of the 13 we were lucky enough to pull off. From the whole Stomp Family, thank you for the support and love.
