Free End-Of-Summer Concert Coming To Smithtown

SMITHTOWN, NY — A free end-of-summer concert featuring Nathan Dean & The Damn Band is scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23. The show will be held at the Smithtown Performing Arts Center, at 2 E. Main St., Smithtown.

Nathan Dean & The Damn Band is known for blending the raw energy of Southern rock with the heartfelt storytelling of country music. The group has earned a reputation as one of the hardest-working and most crowd-pleasing acts on the touring circuit. From Arizona honky-tonks to nationwide festivals, their live shows are a high-octane mix of grit, emotion, and pure fun — featuring original hits like "Lonely Bed," "Addicted to Sad Songs," and "Settle Down."

Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim shared why this year’s concert will be unlike any other:

"Normally, we’d host Nathan Dean & The Damn Band outdoors for our end-of-summer celebration," Wehrheim said. "But with unpredictable weekend weather all season and the incredible work happening at the Smithtown Center for Performing Arts — both in renovations and their outstanding upcoming lineup — this felt like the perfect opportunity to reintroduce our community to the theater. Once complete, and with the Main Street revitalization project, the Smithtown PAC will serve as the anchor of our downtown. This concert is going to be the hottest ticket in town!"

Tickets

This is a free event, but tickets are required. Seats will be available through an online lottery system.

Each person may reserve a maximum of two tickets via the Smithtown Performing Arts Center website.

If someone reserves tickets and are unable to attend, they are asked to email info@smithtownpac.org so their seats may be released.

"Whether you’re a lifelong country music fan or just ready for a night of singalongs and boot-stompin’ good times, don’t miss this chance to experience Nathan Dean & The Damn Band in the heart of downtown Smithtown," the town stated.

The show will be sponsored by A.J. Caro & Arrow Security.
