The 2022 convention will see more music than ever before with a second music performance stage added to the many activities offered during the weekend. The new stage is specialized for acoustic performances by day and electronic music by night.
"I can’t wait to see our community in person again,” comments Thomas Spargo, Executive Director for Gamer’s Rhapsody. “While our organization has adapted well to a virtual environment, I miss the spontaneous jamming with other musicians and the random encounters you get at in person events. Many of our community members haven’t seen each other in person since our last event in 2020, so this year will feel like a giant reunion.”
Discounted tickets are available online prior to the event and will also be available at the door.
