Heart of Gold Gala with Neil Young
|
The Bridge School, the leading non-profit organization dedicated to educating children with severe speech and physical impairments, will host an intimate, fundraising event called the Heart of Gold Gala at a private estate in Watermill, New York on Saturday, July 14, 2018. Music legend Neil Young will take to the stage for a special live performance to raise awareness and funds for The Bridge School, which he co-founded and has supported for over 30 years. The Bridge School was started by Pegi Young, Jim Forderer, and speech and language pathologist, Dr. Marilyn Buzolich. Pegi Young and Neil Young were inspired to start the school after they were unable to find a suitable school placement for their non-verbal son, Ben Young, who has cerebral palsy. Since its inception, The Bridge School has been a leader in ensuring that children with severe speech and physical impairments are able to achieve full participation in their communities through augmentative and alternative communication and has developed unique programs and trained highly skilled professionals in the use of state of the art assistive technology.

Razor Boy Music Inc. Presents:
Baked Shrimp: The Return to The Bitter End
June 30th, 2018 – Doors: 11:59pm Music: 1am
Since forming in January 2017, Baked Shrimp has broken into the Long Island and NYC jam scene and, over the course of the past year, the high-energy rock trio have played unique shows across the Northeast and are looking to build on that success in 2018 with the release of Feast of Delight that puts front and center a distinct ’90s indie vibe. Following the release of Feast of Delight, Baked Shrimp now gets started on a brand new chapter by introducing their brand new drummer, Jager Soss, a well-versed experienced musician, who has played with greats such as George Porter Jr., Butch Trucks, Brandon “Taz” Niederauer, and more. “One of Long Island’s best kept secrets”
– Pete Mason; NYS Music
“Guitar work that makes the song a distant cousin of Henry Mancini’s calliope in “Baby Elephant Walk,” building firmly and erupting for a fire-y ending.” – Pete Mason; NYS Music
“Even if the bands are nearly 25 years apart, and a little dose of Talking Heads’ “Cities,” wrapping up an album that will be perfect for afternoon listening and dancing to late into the night this summer.” – Pete Mason; NYS Music
“They are a young jam trio with compositional pieces.
