Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Rascals, with Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish, take the stage for a packed rock and roll, blue-eyed soul night of music.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to enjoy a free night of great music. It is all part of the Garden State Arts Foundation, who are dedicated to enriching the cultural landscape in Holmdel and New Jersey.

I applaud the Foundation for offering this series, and I know it will be well accepted.
