"The power of music cannot be denied. There is ample evidence of how music adds vibrancy to communities, engages the brain, and strengthens the sense of belonging and connection with others."

-Melissa Hughes, Ph.D, President, The Andrick Group and Co-Author of Natural Harmony: An Instrumental guide to blending Outdoor Music and Community

"My young soul would never have found the inspiration, freedom, and passion I needed to pursue art if it hadn't been for Rosbrook.  In this community I found the boldness to chase after the very thing that makes me feel alive.  This is a space where true expression is found.  Everyone belongs and is deeply loved.  I believe the gift of Rosbrook is still just the beginning - there is so much beautiful art yet to be made at Rosbrook!"

-Maddie Jacobs, Singer/Songwriter/Touring Musician, Nashville, TN

"Rosbrook Studio is a vital and vibrant part of the Dixon and Sauk Valley area.  Rosbrook provides a place to gather, spend quality time with loved ones, meet new people, and enjoy concerts in a fun and casual atmosphere.  Music has the power to bring people together and bridge cultural divides in a way that few other things can, and Rosbrook does just that.  Events boost our local economy.  Concertgoers stop at local restaurants and shops before and after events supporting the local economy.  Rosbrook is also essential for emerging music artists and bands.  They give the artists a stage to promote themselves and gives concert attendees a chance to witness new artists and trends in music."

-Jennifer Lang, Discover Dixon Events Director

"Rosbrook is cool because they play all different types of music there.  The musicians let you talk to them and ask them questions about their songs.  When I was first learning the guitar last year, I got to play in front of real musicians and they encouraged me. "

-Xander Brandon - 11 years old, budding musician and creative soul

"Rosbrook Studio has been an artistic haven, and that is so important for the Sauk Valley.  We need to save this community gem.  Nurturing creativity, as Rosbrook has done, is not just important for artists - it makes us ALL better thinkers.  Challenging that part of our minds makes us more creative thinkers in business, civic leadership, as parents, and even as soldiers.  This has certainly been true for me, and we need to support those opportunities in our community."

-Li Arellano, Jr. - Small business owner, Army Engineers project leader, Past Mayor of Dixon

"It all started at Rosbrook - the first time I performed.  Now I'm playing every weekend:  I've been on billboards, on the radio, on TV, recorded in a professional recording studio, shared the bill with national acts.  Not only have I grown as a musician, but also in my music business skills.  All of these successes started at home at Rosbrook."

-AJ Schmall, Musician/Band Leader, Deputy Treasurer, Peoria County

"Rosbrook Studio in Downtown Dixon has created a most unique space for musicians and the lovers of music and art to coexist in harmony.  As the city of Dixon moves deeper into the understanding of the importance of arts and culture in our community, it is venues and citizens like this that continue to make Dixon a destination worth visiting.  

The board of directors and many friends of Rosbrook continue to persevere to make sure this unparalleled setting remains a hub in the music scene in our town.  Their efforts to produce shows, promote musicians of all ages and skill levels and advance the arts in many ways, makes their existence important and worthy of your contribution.  Please consider Rosbrook with your philanthropy at any level"
