Saturday, September 20 at 7:00 PM Rock This Town for Prostate Cancer Awareness Featuring Stanton Anderson Band and Wes Houston Benefit for Brookhaven Memorial Hospital
This concert is a very special fundraiser that was created to help raise Prostate Cancer awareness. The money raised from the event will make it possible for Brookhaven Hospital to offer free PSA screenings to the men of the community. The concert will feature performances from The Stanton Anderson Band and Wes Houston. About The Stanton Anderson BandThe Stanton Anderson Band has been called Long Island’s best live act ever. The band was instrumental in establishing the music scene on Long Island and helped pave the way for many other acts like Twisted Sister & Zebra. The peak of the band’s success was the 1970s when the opened at Nassau Coliseum for the Marshall Tucker Band. They also opened for many major stars including The Allman Brothers. The band split up during the 80s to pursue other interests, but their following of dedicated fans came out in full force for their reunion in 2000. The band picked up where they left off, with gigs like opening up for Eddie Money at the Westbury Music Fair & headlining a performance at the Patchogue Theater. They frequently perform at Mulcahy’s in Wantagh. About Wes Houston Wes Houston has been playing for more than four decades. His style has been described as a mixture of folk and blues with rock, country, jazz and even gospel influences. A Queens native, Wes began playing in local spots across the tristate area in the 1960s. Wes' All-Star Space Band was Long Island's premier musical circus during the '70's Golden Era of Long Island music – when there were over 300 clubs with live music at one time. That band was the very first to play at NY's legendary "CBGB's" and the very last band to play at "Max's Kansas City." Their single "Wandering" became a hit in many college towns across the Northeast. Today the Wes Houston Band plays engagements from Performing Arts Series to local pubs.
