Evanstock was started on the Message Board of classmates.com in March of 2002 when John Nance, an Evanston High School Graduate began a discussion
on a Classmates.com message board and called it
Evanston: Music Capital of the 70’s.

The goal was a stroll down memory lane with requests to add names of Evanston musicians to the list of eighty-five.

Thus, the concept of an Evanstock Music Festival was born. Another very clever ETHS grad coined the phrase, “Evanstock”.

It’s now 2008 and amazingly the message board lives on with over 350 Evanston musicians added to the original list, more than 140 postings to the original message, this web site that has been visited over 1,000,000 times, a music reunion festival that reunites friends from around the globe now in it's fifth year, thousands of photographs and a global community that keeps alive the rich cultural history of Evanston Based Talent.
