End Of Summer Country Music Concert Held At Commack's Hoyt Farm

COMMACK, NY —Nathan Dean and the Damn Band returned to the Town of Smithtown for the End of Summer Country Music concert at Hoyt Farm in Commack on Saturday. The nature preserve grounds were transformed into an outdoor concert venue, as Nathan Dean and The Damn Band made Smithtown the last stop on their coast-to-coast Unsupervised Tour.

Local families packed the parking lot with tailgate-style picnic setups, while residents wishing to be closer to the band set up beach chairs and blankets to enjoy the live performance. David Capo emceed the show.

"We were ecstatic when we learned that Nathan Dean and the Damn Band wanted to return to Smithtown," Wehrheim said in a news release. "We were doubly blessed when we learned that Cosentino Companies would be sponsoring the cost of the event so it could be brought to the community absolutely free. I’d also like to thank and acknowledge David Capo, who originally introduced us to the band, in addition to the team at Hoyt Farm, the Parks Department and Public Safety. This band is the real deal … My whole family was dancing on the grass at one point. I look forward to planning their return next summer."

The free concert was sponsored by Cosentino Companies and organized by Capo with Wehrheim, the Smithtown Town Council, and the team at Hoyt Farm.

Nathan Dean serves as lead singer and guitarist; Jason Judd plays lead guitar and provides backup vocals; Bill Bogan plays drums and supplies more back up vocals; and Chris Duke plays bass.
