Creed has some very exciting news to announce to their fans!
Creed recently received a proposal from a group of fans asking them to
participate in a "Creed Fan Fair." The Fair, loosely based on the annual
Country Music Fan Fair, is to be a multi-day event featuring face-to-face
interaction between Creed and their fans. Creed is excited to participate in
this event and will perform two shows during the event - one electric and
one unplugged. The Fan Fair will be held in Creed's hometown of Orlando
immediately following completion of the band's new album (which has the
working title of WEATHERED), tentatively due out late this year.
Several preliminary ideas are currently under consideration for
activities during the Creed Fan Fair - including a ping-pong tournament
where the overall winner will play Mark Tremonti, a miniature golf
tournament where the overall winners will play Scott Stapp and Scott
Phillips, an unplugged intimate performance, an electric performance
featuring the worldwide debut of brand new Creed music from their new album,
and a party featuring performances by four unsigned bands which will be
hand-picked by the members of Creed. Creed will choose one artist per month
(over the next four months) from artists that have been submitted to the
unsigned-artist website http://www.bombtrax.com/. This month's
selection is Tallahassee's Eric Durrance, aka Big Dismal. (Big Dismal's
four-song ep is also available at http://www.bandrags.com/.)
Creed is
looking forward to this event and will be making official updates regarding
the Creed Fan Fair at CreedNet (http://www.creed.com/). Stay tuned for details.
