Unity for Veterans Benefit Concert – Nov 2nd at The Suffolk Theater in Riverhead
Raymond Castronovo, the acclaimed guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Riverhead, and his dynamic band Streetwise are set to rock the historic Suffolk Theater at 118 E Main Street in Riverhead with their “Unity for Veterans” Benefit Concert! This special event, taking place on Saturday, November 2, 2024, will celebrate the release of their latest EP, Appetite for Unity, and raise funds to support U.S. military veterans in need. All proceeds from the concert will go directly to New Ground, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering veterans experiencing homelessness.
The show will start at 6:30 pm with doors opening at 5:30 pm. Sponsorship packages and individual tickets for the concert are available for purchase online HERE.
Castronovo, the founder and frontman of the vintage rock band Streetwise, has long been an avid supporter of military veterans. In anticipation of Veterans Day, Castronovo shared his thoughts: “I wanted to use this opportunity not only to honor our veterans for their incredible service but also to support those veterans and their families who are facing financial hardship and homelessness.”
Shannon Boyle, Executive Director of New Ground, expressed her excitement for the event: “We are thrilled to partner with Raymond and his team in bringing together an evening of great music and entertainment to support our Veterans and break the cycle of homelessness in Long Island!”
The evening promises to be filled with high-energy performances, featuring songs from Streetwise’s latest EP, Appetite for Unity, as well as favorites from their previous three releases. Joining Castronovo on stage will be the talented ensemble of Joe Martinez on bass guitar, Linda Mackley on drums, Carl Obrig on saxophone, and Paul Glazer on electric guitar.
As special guests for the evening, the talented female singing group American Bombshells, often hailed as the modern-day Andrews Sisters, will captivate the audience with a powerful rendition of the national anthem, followed by a selection of their most popular songs.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a night of unforgettable music while supporting our veterans!
