Sad to see this news. He put on a great performance at Corn Fest last year.

Rob Base, one-half of Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, who was best known for the hit ā€œIt Takes Two,ā€ has died at 59 from cancer.

ā€œRob’s music, energy, and legacy helped shape a generation and brought joy to millions around the world. Beyond the stage, he was a loving father, family man, friend, and creative force whose impact will never be forgotten,ā€ reads a statement on his social media account. ā€œThank you for the music, the memories, and the moments that became the soundtrack to our lives.ā€

The DeKalb Corn Fest Community Stage at the Egyptian Theatre is returning August 28-30th, and we’re looking for performers to help make this year’s festival weekend unforgettable.

Whether you sing, dance, perform comedy, play in a band, or have a unique act to share, we’d love to hear from you!

Interested performers can email [email protected] with their name, type of act, and a video sample of their performance.

As a nonprofit theatre, creating opportunities for local artists and performers to take the stage is one of our favorite parts of Corn Fest. 🌽
