The music will begin on Saturday & Sunday around 9:00am (weather permitting), and will continue until sometime between 9pm & 11pm. This is a one-of-a-kind event, the main genre being progressive rock (which is how this whole thing began), but many different genre's of music will be performed by dozens of musicians from from all over the USA and beyond!!

We will have two stages, fully equipped with pro sound & lighting. A team of Stage Coordinators as well as excellent Sound & Lighting Engineers, will all work together to keep the music flowing efficiently, and sounding great! Since we have TWO FULL DAYS of performances here at the ranch, we should be able to perform approximately 100 songs on The Grid (depending on the average song length). This would be at an approximate 5 to 7 song per hour pace, which should ensure that all songs will get played. This is dependent on the weather being favorable of course.

FOOD, ETC: A full country breakfast/brunch buffet will be served from 8:30am until 10:30am on Saturday & Sunday morning. We will also have three excellent food vendors on the property with a great selection of food and beverages from Noon until 9pm. We will not be serving alcoholic drinks but you're welcome to bring your own. If you have any special dietary needs, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you. Bottled water, coffee & tea will be available at no cost all day and evening.

COST: There is one single gate fee of just $45 per person ($39 advance purchase) for the entire event (including breakfast both days). This will help us recover a percentage of the costs involved (ongoing stage construction, food, drinks, band fees, equipment rental, sound, lighting, seating, power, sanitary facilities, clean-up & septic services, and much more).

TRANSPORTATION & HOTEL: The best way to get here from Tampa Airport is to take Uber, a taxi, or another car service. If you are renting a car, we're really easy to find, just be sure you have GPS, or call us for the best directions. We're around 35 miles north of the Tampa Airport via the Suncoast Parkway. Lots of people are flying into Tampa the night before the event. It may be easier than you think to arrange a carpool with some of the other attendees. Post some messages on the "Prog On The Ranch Facebook Page" to help facilitate that.

For those of you who have inquired about camping.... you are very welcome to stay with us at the ranch at no additional charge! We have 20 acres to stake out your own campsite, and we will actively help you procure tents and RV's, sleeping bags, and equipment. Please check the Prog On The Ranch Facebook Discussion page for more info. If you're looking for more traditional accommodations, we recommend the Hampton Inn on Commercial Blvd in Spring Hill which is very reasonable and also includes breakfast.

"Prog On The Ranch" is a private event, which takes place on private property, and is by INVITATION ONLY. However, we want to see YOU here, so please contact us directly if you would like to attend :-)

See you at the Ranch!!!
