Rockers on Broadway's 31st annual concert, themed Back in Time, will be presented October 28 at 8 PM at New York's Sony Hall.
The evening will honor rock legend Huey Lewis and music historian and former musician Peter Bradley, Jr. Performers will be announced at a later date.
Lewis, the Grammy-winning front man of Huey Lewis and The News, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, while Bradley, a longtime board member of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation, is this year’s Ambassador of Rock honoree.
The concert will feature the work of Lewis as well as other artists who have bridged the worlds of rock and Broadway. Last season, Lewis' work was featured inThe Heart of Rock and Roll and Back to the Future; the latter continues at the Winter Garden.
The evening is presented by The PATH Fund, a leading nonprofit dedicated to performing arts education. Proceeds
will benefit a consortium of charities, including Broadway Bound Kids,
Broadway Cares, The Buddy Holly Educational
Foundation, The Felix Organization, Teen Cancer America, and The PATH
Fund.
“We are thrilled to return to Sony Hall once again this year for our next installment of Rockers on Broadway,” says Cori Gardner,
co-founder and executive producer of The PATH Fund. “Our two wonderful
honorees, Huey Lewis and Peter Bradley, Jr., have both contributed so
much to the industry, and we’re so happy to have them on board to help
make this a special evening.”
Donnie Kehr, creator of Rockers on Broadway,
adds, “I am so excited to have Huey with us this year, he is one of my
rock & roll heroes. Not only is he a great singer-songwriter, but he
is also a truly badass blues harmonica player.”
