BENEFIT CONCERT featuring THE MARC BLACK BAND and SABRINA & THE GEMS with RENNIE CANTINE

The Marc Black Band features the wonderful vocals of Amy Fradon, joyous Eric Parker on drums; and psychedelic inventor and Blues Magoos founder Mike Esposito on bass. Their wildly danceable blues has led to Marc’s induction into the New York Chapter of the Blues Hall of Fame, and his recent album, Everybody Wants My Hat, reached the top ten on the International Folk Radio Charts. As a teenager, Marc fronted the Blades of Grass and toured with many of the biggest acts of the day including the Doors, Van Morrison. A few years later, he became the first indie singer-songwriter to garner a pick hit in Billboard Magazine. In the words of Don Wilcock, editor of the Blues Revue, “Marc’s show is beyond marvelous. It is truly transcendent.”

Sabrina & the Gems have been rocking the Hudson Valley with their distinctive psychedelic funk/rock for the last 7 years. Sabrina Miller adds her poetry and original songs to Rennie Cantine’s soaring guitar licks. Sabrina & the Gems have played hundreds of gigs, rehearsals, parties, appearances on WDST, and released their record The Dream that Woke You. Drawing comparisons to Grace Slick, Joan Jett and Ani Defranco, Sabrina shrugs it off: “we are here to tell it like we see it…stand up for our friends and family…and rock it hard.”
