Origin

The first Terrastock event was initially conceived by McMullen and Robert Jaz of the Providence, RI based band V. Majestic in the winter of 1996/1997. The festival was then fully organized by McMullen and Jaz along with Mark Stone of the Providence, RI based band Medicine Ball, as well as the Newport, RI based record label Flydaddy, which was run by former Sub Pop employees, Kevin O'Leary and Adam Silverman. Flydaddy had previously released a Ptolemaic Terrascope benefit compilation called 'Succor.'

An arrangement was made with James Draper, the operator of an art gallery/speakeasy performance space called The Renegade Gallery/The Rogue Lounge which was located in Providence within an industrial space in the old Atlantic Mills. The space hosted the three day festival and garnered much national and local press.

In November 2010 McMullen "unashamedly" admitted that the Terrastock festivals "were directly influenced and inspired by the now legendary Zig Zag Benefit Concert

Described as "one of the gigs of the decade", the concert "has taken on legendary proportions over the years" and featured Michael Nesmith with Red Rhodes,...
