HISTORY
TRKfest began as a one day music festival and fund raiser for the Trekky Records Collective in 2008. The Never, Bowerbirds, Megafaun & Friends, The Future Kings of Nowhere, Hammer No More the Fingers, Butterflies, Endless Mic, Embarrassing Fruits, Butterflies, Barghest, Wil Donegan and the Apologies and Sweet By & By all graced the stage. It was the best event we've ever organized.
2009
We weren't planning on having TRKfest be a recurring event, but popular demand is a powerful beast, so here we are with the 2nd Annual TRKfest Outoor Festival of Music & Things.
