SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Since January 1997, Australian Andrew McNeice has maintained a website (http://www.melodicrock.com/) that champions a style of Rock music that commands a huge following throughout the world, Melodic Rock. Epitomized by bands such as Survivor, Journey, Night Ranger, and Styx, the genre is distinguished by unforgettable and emotional songwriting supported by inventive and orchestral musicianship. The website takes millions of hits and supports 200,000 monthly unique visitors.

Since its beginnings in the 80's, the American Midwest has been the epicenter of Melodic Rock, and it is in South Bend, Indiana that McNeice has chosen to bring together a blockbuster cast to celebrate the tenth anniversary of melodicrock.com, in a one-night only concert.
