UPCOMING GIGS - 2023
December 4 - JUST WILD ABOUT HARRY
Landmark on Main Street, Port Washington, NY
Each year, since 2005, a tribute is held at the venue where Harry was headed when he died in a car accident in 1981. And GFR has been honored to take part in this great show many times, helping to raise awareness for Long Island Cares, the food bank Harry Chapin started. This year the show has been moved to what would have been Harry's 81st Birthday. And we are lucky to have supporters at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington who graciously invited us to put the show on there! Tickets are running out, so secure them while you can!
