The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame in Stony Brook, Long Island announced its summer concert calendar July through August.
The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame or, LIMEHOF, was created to celebrate the history of musical talent in Long Island. As a result it was officially born in 2004 after the decades-long buildup to the music hot-spot that Long Island is Today.
The museum has inducted over 120 artists. Their current featured exhibit is Billy Joel: My Life, A Piano Man’s Journey. Meanwhile, every year LIMEHOF gives back to the community with their $1000 scholarships to music students to inspire the next generation of Long Island Talent.
However, to support the Long Island artists, LIMEHOF hosts concerts year round as well. This summer, returning bands like the Liverpool Shuffle will perform. Similarly, Long Island natives Frank Latorre, the King Bees and Joe Piket will also take the stage.
Performers
Starting the July events is Bob Westcott on July 7. Westcott is a guitarist that got his start in the 60’s in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. He performed all over the U.S. before settling down in eastern Long Island.
In addition, singer-songwriter Linda Sussman will take to the stage on Aug 4. She is an americana folk artist who has performed at iconic venues like Prospect Park in Brooklyn and Kenny’s Castaways in NYC as well as the Hall of Fame.
Chiefly, all summer concerts are free with admission to the museum. Additionally more information about the concert schedule and LIMEHOF can be found their website here.
