Warriors Rock Concert For Veterans

Warriors Rock at Westhampton Beach, NY

Warriors Rock is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that America's military veterans, and their families, are appreciated & recognized for their service. Warriors Rock was created by Kim & Gary Racan to honor veterans from all branches who have served our country. The Studio-e band hosts concerts throughout the nation to provide a musical tribute to our veterans as a way of sharing their experiences, provide awareness of their needs and support the organizations that provide assistance to them. All proceeds from each show are donated to local veterans or veteran organizations. Warriors Rock concerts feature 8-12 local veterans. The veterans are interviewed prior to the show where they are able to share their experiences. During that interview, the veteran is asked to share their experiences while serving. They are then asked if there was a song that was special to them during that time. A video of their interview is shown to the audience and the 14-piece professional band lead by Gary Racan performs the song they requested. The band also performs other musical selections to create a truly immersive and visual experience. Warriors Rock features veterans from all branches, wars and conflicts. Each show is a unique experience based on the veterans that they honor. The music can vary across all eras and genres. Each show ends with a touching finale that honors all veterans in the audience and heightens the patriotism of everyone. It is an amazing opportunity to honor those who have served our country.
