Remember that your Roost Membership card entitles you to a 20% discount on food, beverage & apparel purchases at the Original Greene Turtle (116th St.).  We encourage all Roost members and committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle! 

Remember that we collect plastic grocery bags at every Roost meeting.  These bags are used by Diakonia (Local Food Bank & Homeless Shelter) to distribute food contributions to the needy.  My white Ford pickup truck is parked in front of OC 360 at every Roost meeting.  Simply put your plastic bags (tied up tightly) in the bed of the truck.  This is a great way to recycle plastic bags for a good cause.

Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo met each other in 1979 for the first time, in a small rehearsal room at SIR studios in New York City.  The rest as they say, “is history.”  Pat Benatar’s staggering vocal range and Neil Giraldo’s trailblazing artistry as a guitarist, producer, songwriter and arranger, together forge the undeniable chemistry and unprecedented sound that created some of rocks most memorable hits, including “Love Is a Battlefield,” “Heartbreaker,” “We Live for Love,” “We Belong,” and the signature, “Promises in The Dark.”  Together they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won an unprecedented, four consecutive Grammy awards.  In 1982, Benatar and Giraldo were married and have two grown daughters.  Their rock and roll love affair has endured for more than three and a half decades.  Pat and Neil continue to tour, selling out concerts and wowing audiences everywhere.  Theirs is a chemistry that will undoubtedly be thrilling music fans forever.
Over the past four decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer.  The creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I've Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.”  He’s an accomplished actor who has starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film "Ricki and the Flash," gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama "True Detective," earned great reviews for his portrayal of Lucifer this season on the CW hit, "Supernatural" and most recently played Pastor Charles on "American Horror Story."  In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located around the corner from the first apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S. from Australia in 1971.  Rick’s latest Album “The Snake King” finds Rick traveling down a dusty dirt road to explore the blues side of his rock ‘n roll and marks a definite departure from the power pop he has been known for.

·         Tuesday -Freeman Stage @ Bayside - An Evening with Straight No Chaser, 7:30pm, $30-$55.  If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses ... think again.  Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced or straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch.  They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase, numerous national TV appearances and proven success with CD releases.  Straight No Chaser is the real deal, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense — and with a sense of humor.  On the road, Straight No Chaser has built a reputation as an unforgettable live act.  This performance will offer limited Premium Assigned Seating tickets and General Admission tickets.  Tickets are required for all patrons, including infants and toddlers.
