Rock-n-mob Samara #1 - Army of Rock arrived to Samara!

How did we get it done?

About organizing the event and travels

You just need to get started!

The main dreamer and organizer of first Rock-n-mob in Samara Andrew Kashkarov has told us his story:

I watched the video from the first rock-n-mob where friend of mine has participated, and realized that I wanna be there too! I asked him how to join next event, then learned my parts for the selected songs and bought flight tickets to Moscow. And the event was full of emotions, adrenaline and energy!!! I can’t even remember when I was so excited last time!

After coming back to Samara, I shared my story and experience to my friends and many of them decided to join rocknmob too. And that is how the idea of bringing rocknmob to Samara has been born!

I started out with simple questionnaire for my musician-friends , then talked to other people and even my clients (actually I’m a barber!), and tried to find out how to organize such an event. It turned out that the idea was around, just there was no one brave enough to get it started.

We went to Department of Culture in Samara, then we’ve been redirected to the administration of “Parks of Samara”, and they promised us a place in Strukovski Park near to Volga river. In the same time we were thinking about technical part of the event. And our friends were always helping us!

Moscow Coming: 1000+ km, 3 cars, 17 people

17 people traveled all the way to Samara in order to participate in Rocknmob Samara #1!
