    Released on June 21, 2024, Lawrence’s fourth album, Family Business, has brought the band to new heights. The album’s opening track, “Whatcha Want,” broke into the Top 40 on the US Pop Chart, while Lawrence has performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Today with Hoda & Jenna, and CBS Saturday Morning. The album is accompanied by their biggest headline tour yet which not only brought them to Australia for the first time but will bring them back to Europe and the UK, in addition to their US tour which has new dates to be added.

    Clyde and Gracie Lawrence created Lawrence, an eight-piece soul-pop band comprised of musician friends from childhood and college. The band has gained a following for its high-energy, keyboard-driven sound, which features tight, energetic horns and explosive lead vocals.

  • TAUK to host ‘Oogie Boogie Nights’ Halloween Extravaganza

    Progressive rock-fusion band TAUK has announced their ‘Oogie Boogie Nights’ Halloween show in Port Chester with a star-studded guest list.

    Oogie Boogie Nights

    Long Island local rock-fusion band TAUK has been pushing the boundaries of sound for nearly a decade now. With several tours, millions of streams, festival slots spanning from Bonnaroo to Electric Forest, and an array of critical praise, TAUK is an ever-evolving quartet of musical force. 

    In addition to their purely musical endeavors, the band has begun a new tradition of gathering their favorite musical acts for once-in-a-lifetime halloween shows. Now in its third year, the ‘Oogie Boogie Nights’ Halloween extravaganza is a wild night of live music, good vibes, and all things spooky. 

    This year’s show goes hand-in-hand with TAUK’s recent streak of collaborative singles with artists like reggae icon Matisyahu, G. Love, Kanika Moore, The Shady Horns of funk group Lettuce, and Taz.

    “We’ve been lucky enough to have played the Capitol Theatre a couple times already but being able to come in and throw our own show is something we’ve been dreaming up for a while… We get some of our absolute favorite musicians together and throw a huge party. The lineup for this is unreal and we have so much in store for this show.”

    – Matthew Jalbert, guitarist of TAUK

    In addition to some of their recent collaborators, TAUK will be bringing Mike Wilbur and Mihali along for the ride, elevating the night’s programming to another level of excitement.

    Acting as the only New York date of TAUK’s current United States tour,  the ‘Oogie Boogie Nights’ 2024 musical extravaganza will be hosted at the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on October 25. Tickets are available now- visit here for further information and ticket purchasing.

  • Singer/Songwriter Mihali Releases Latest Single “Free Ride” Ahead of Northeast US Tour

    Reggae/Indie artist Mihali has released his latest track titled “Free Ride” which is now streaming on all platforms. The single releases in the midst of his northeastern US tour, which stops in Port Chester on October 25.

    Mihali Free Ride

    The track “Free Ride” uniquely combines multiple sounds which I find extremely interesting, and effective at grabbing the listener’s attention. There are immediately elements of pop, southern rock, country, indie, reggae and even a touch of R&B. I find it fascinating that Mihali can effectively combine these very different genres and make it a sound that portrays himself.

    The track screams positivity – that it is wildly important to be yourself and to get what you want out of life. Life isn’t just a free ride, you have to seize the day, make it what you want it to be. This message is something refreshing in comparison to a lot of other messages in music today.

    Mihali is currently touring the northeast as both a solo act, and as a band. The tour consists of 15 dates total at 13 different venues. One of these stages is in Port Chester, NY, where Mihali is set to perform “Free Ride” along with his other hits live.

    “When I go to write a song, sometimes I do so with a specific subject in mind, but other times the lyrics just come out of nowhere! Those surprise songs usually end up being my favorites, and Free Ride is one of those. I hope everyone takes its message to heart too. Get out there and live your life! There’s no time to waste.”

Special moments such as Riker Lynch bringing out his wife to dance during one of the songs added a touch of intimacy to the performance. Rydel Lynch’s presence in the photo pit served as a testament to the band’s close family dynamic as well.

    The audience was fully immersed in the experience, with many fans sporting pink cowboy hats and waving handmade signs. One sign read “I’ll trade my hat for your shirt”, demonstrating audience dedication. The electric atmosphere reached a high when two fans threw their bras on stage during “Preacher Man,” a testament to the band’s magnetic appeal.

    As the night started to close, The Driver Era left the crowd wanting more. They decided to end the show with a euphoric encore performance of “Heart of Mine” and “A Kiss.” With their infectious energy and undeniable talent, The Driver Era proved once again why they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.

    Rock The River is meant to honor supporters at the “original rock palace” and benefit Sunrise Day Camp-Pearl River. The honorable awards will be presented to owner Peter Shapiro, General Manager Bruce Wheeler, and Head of Special Events, Emily Schmalholz. The awards in question are known as the Sunrise Community Partner Award and the Sunrise Champion Award.

    Money raised from this benefit will support the vital work Sunrise Day Camp–Pearl River does for the community. Sunrise Day Camp brings the simple pleasures of childhood back to children struggling with cancer, changing months of loneliness and isolation into summers filled with sunshine, laughter and happiness.

    The Capitol Theatre welcomes a performance by the legendary Steve Augeri, the former lead vocalist for Journey. In years prior, artists like Wyclef Jean, Melissa Etheridge, Max Weinberg and many more music icons.

    The 11th annual Rock The River sponsored by Sunrise Association sees a wonderful evening of uplifting music by Steve Augeri. Along with this, the wonderful fundraising for ill children in need.

    This is an evening of togetherness, music, and benefits for those in need. It showcases both the power of fundraising and the unity that music brings.

    “We are honored & grateful to be the host venue of Rock The River for 10 years! Live music provides an impressive and organic sense of connection, this event is a natural fit. Over the years, we have formed an amazing partnership with Sunrise which has grown Rock The River year after year, working together to raise money for this incredibly important cause. I play just a small part in the success of this event and will continue to do my best to champion the cause in every way possible. I have no doubt that this partnership between The Capitol Theatre and Sunrise Day Camp will continue to grow so that we can continue to raise as much money as possible to send hundreds more children with cancer & their siblings to this incredible camp.”

    Emily Schmalholz, Sunrise Champion Award Nominee

    Doors to the concert open at 6:30pm, and music begins at 8pm. For more information on the Rock The River Benefit Concert or to make a donation, click here.
