Morsefest 2020: LockdownWe have given a lot of thought to how we can continue the spirit of past Morsefests for as many people as possible, while expecting there still to be some social distancing restrictions in place at the time of the event. We have decided to run a full scale live MORSEFEST for a very small crowd (in line with the expected restrictions) along with an interactive virtual MF experience for those who can’t attend in person.
Morsefest 2020: Lockdown! will take place on September 18 and 19 at New Life Fellowship in Cross Plains, TN, and the featured music will be:
Friday Night – COVER TO COVER NIGHT! Debut of new C2C3 material as well as classics from our cover catalog. Mike, Randy, Eric and Bill will join Neal — plus real horns, string quartet and all the bells and whistles … literally!
Saturday Night – PREMIERE OF Neal’s NEW PROG CONCEPT ALBUM (title not announced yet) plus other great progressive rock from his catalog performed by the NMB and a cast of thousands … well, probably more like 25.
We will also have Morsefest staples such as the Inner Circle concert, games, Q&A, and special merchandise … all the cool stuff that makes MF such a unique experience!

*The Live VIP tickets will be offered to our Inner Circle members first.
If they do not sell out, we will open them up to the general public. If you aren’t an Inner Circle member, it’s not too late!! Join now to have first dibs at purchasing tickets for this unique opportunity!!
**While we do not want to say who can and can’t buy tickets for the Live VIP event, we would strongly suggest that anyone considering buying a ticket, who needs to travel internationally to the event, would bear in mind that no one presently knows what travel or quarantine restrictions might be imposed in your country and/or the USA. We will only be able to issue refunds until August 21. Anyone buying a ticket to attend should consider this carefully
In the event social distancing restrictions do not allow a gathering of this size, a refund for the Live VIP will be issued.
What we can assure you is … whatever way you join us, you will have a Morsefest experience like NO OTHER!
PERSONAL NOTE FROM NEAL:
“I am super excited to be playing new material from C2C3 and especially my new album (that I think is as good as Sola Scriptura or the Question Mark album) with Mike, Randy, Eric and Bill, and all the wonderful musicians that will join us. It’s all about the music and the message for me. For this reason, I’m sure (however you can make it) you will be thrilled and blessed. I look forward to seeing you in person or online!”
