Armenstock 2004 - Kef for Kerry, a day-long music festival in celebration of John Kerry's nomination for President, was held on August 28, 2004 at Camp Haiastan, in Franklin, Masssachusetts. Combining a celebration of Armenian music with political activism, it brought together some of the best Armenian musicians from both coasts to help kick-off a nationwide voter mobilization and get-out-the-Armenian-vote campaign for the fall of 2004.

Senator Kerry has been a friend of the Armenian American community for over twenty years, with a proven track record of fighting hard for issues of concern to Armenians across the nation. He faces an incumbent, President Bush, whose record on Armenian issues has grown progressively more disappointing throughout his tenure in the White House, beginning with his broken campaign pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide, including his Administration's attempt to end military aid parity between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and up until this past month, with his Administration's strident attacks on legislation recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
Armenstock 2004 - Kef for Kerry is produced by Armenians for Kerry and Pomegranate Music Events.
Armenians for Kerry is a bipartisan group of Armenian Democrats, Independents and moderate Republicans who've rallied to elect John Kerry as President of the United States. Pomegranate Music is a world music label based in Cambridge, MA and Yerevan, Armenia, whose mission is to promote musicians from Armenia.
