The Rockford, Illinois music scene has always been one worth documentation, but there has never been a massive ongoing coordinated concrete effort to make a record of that scene in physical print form beyond individual books and newsprint zines.

It seems a shame to let the history of a vibrant music scene be relegated to scraps of things that just happened to be kept in a drawer somewhere. The Rockford scene has always deserved a better treatment than that, and we're hoping to help the cause.

Whether you've been a part of the Rockford music scene in anyway or not, we hope that you find these books to be a lasting record of a history worth preserving.
