Aerosmith Founding Member Brings Benefit Show to Hudson Valley

YONKERS, NY — Hudson Valley residents will have a chance this month to help support veterans who sacrificed their bodies and health in military service.

Founding member of Aerosmith and Yonkers resident, Ray Tabano will host a "British Invasion" fundraiser for the Disabled American Veterans Chapter #23 this month. The festival for a good cause will take place over two days in November.

Tabano and his childhood friend, Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler grew up in northeast Yonkers and attended Roosevelt High School. Later, both moved to Boston and formed Aerosmith with Ray as the band’s original rhythm guitarist.

Tabano and his Third Step Band will perform originals and covers of top British hit songs of the sixties. The show will also feature a multi-media presentation recalling the British Invasion and its influences on the founding of Aerosmith.

Tabano’s special guests for the Friday night show will be Sue & The Fun Ghouls. On Saturday, Lenny & The Biscuits will join him on stage. Promoters have also teased that a "surprise celebrity guest may be dropping in over the weekend."

The two-day event will be held November 12, and 13, at Barney McNabbs on Tuckahoe Road. Admission is $10.
