Festivals
Socks and Crocs Music biggest events are our festivals. Our First festival took place in 2022, as events were beginning to come back after the pandemic. This festival was under the name of The Antidote Festival To correspond with our headlining band, Do Your Poison. The lineup also consisted of other local artists from the southern New Hampshire area including Rock Bottom, Glue, Aunt Crispy And The Cereal Killers, and CalCom. A New York Indie artists by the name of Emma Ivy also came from a long distance to join us. It was a humble festival that took place in a backyard stage with just over 50 people attending.
In 2023, the Socks And Crocs Music Festival was born. Due to the success of our previous festival, we expanded. However, our Previous headlining band had tragically broken up leaving our name irrelevant. BUT ALLAS! Arnold Schwarzenegger and former US President/Creator of the Croc, Scott Seamans descended from the heavens in what was either a mind opening dream or a vivid schizophrenic hallucination bearing the most beautiful collections of words: “The Socks and Crocs Music Festival.” I woke up in a cold sweat and immediately called Smutty Nose Brewery, for we had a festival to plan and on August 19, 2023 at Smutty Nose Brewery the greatest, most important event in history took place—the worlds first Socks And Crocs Music Festival. At this festival were nothing but the 15 greatest bands ever to walk the planet: Witches Window, Dan Fallon, The Big Sun, Gus Kelly, Aaron Brown, Orange Street Monster, Vermilion, CalCom, Rat Funeral, Longshot, 13 seconds, Kevin Hill, Thelberg, and our magnificent, Godly headliners, The Night Blinders and Cozy Throne. The Festival was a huge success with hundreds of people enjoying nine ours of amazing music.
Now, we are in the process of organizing multiple festivals around New England for the summer of 2024. With the intentions of working with a list of over 100 bands and artists we have comprised.
We are not a label.
We are committed to building a community around music in New England. Whether that means helping bands and musicians find gigs, record, or make connections with like-minded artists we are here to help. As well as organizing events and concerts, we provide the promotions and recording opportunities that a label would but with a strict no-contracts rule. Meaning, that we have no intent to build profit, but rather to help local artists and music lovers pursue their passion.

The Socks and Crocs Headquarters
Our current project is “The Socks and Crocs Headquarters.” We are in search of a place we could renovate into a concert venue and recording studio. This would be the center of our community and the home of frequent events. Although this dream will be amazing, we are still working on finding the finances and the space to make it happen. If you have ideas or know of opportunities, do not hesitate to reach out!
Our Headquarters’ Effect On Our Community
If you or your band would like to have an accessible recording studio and a great local venue, join our community as we work to make The Socks and Crocs Headquarters a reality. Because, as soon as it does, countless opportunities will be presented to the artists and music lovers of our community.
