Thank You for an Amazing Night!
Third Rock the Block Down, One More to Go!
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Rock the Block last night! We loved spending another summer evening with the White Plains community.
One thing about Rock the Block is that you can always expect a great surprise on stage. Thanks to our Music Director, Doug Panero of Panero Presents, each concert features talented artists on the rise, and this month was no exception.
Rae the Band impressed the crowd with soulful vocals and an unforgettable performance, while Slap Dragon brought incredible energy to the stage, earning a standing ovation from the audience. Both bands featured powerhouse frontwomen whose performances had the crowd singing along, tapping their feet, and dancing throughout the evening.
If you enjoyed what you heard, be sure to check out Rae the Band and Slap Dragon on your favorite streaming platform.
We can’t wait to see you at our next (and last) Rock the Block on August 19!
Special thanks to participating restaurants: Brazen Fox, Cantina, Delicias, Freebird, Hudson Grille, Lazy Boy Saloon, Lilly’s, Ron Blacks, and Sundance Kitchen.
