SHINE A LIGHT ON THE QUEEN: A NIGHT OF ROLLING STONES MUSIC TO BENEFIT THE LIGHT UP THE QUEEN FOUNDATION

On Saturday, March 3rd, more than thirty of Delaware's best and brightest musicians will come together on the Copeland Theater stage to present an evening full of music celebrating fifty years of the Rolling Stones to benefit the Light Up the Queen Foundation. Each and every song will feature a different lineup of the area's most talented, influential and prominent musicians from each generation. Shine a Light on the Queen promises to be not just a celebration of The Rolling Stones, but also of the people who have played locally in Wilmington for decades and have worked hard to support the Light Up the Queen Foundation.

The Light Up The Queen Foundation is a Delaware non-profit corporation dedicated to the revival of The Queen Theater in Wilmington, Delaware, and to assuring that The Queen serves as a catalyst for building community by engaging diverse populations through high quality programs in music, education, workforce development and mentoring.

The development of the Queen Theater - located in the heart of the city's downtown - promises to push Wilmington's urban renaissance to new heights. A coordinated public-private effort has restored the Queen Theater's lost luster, enhancing the city's cultural offerings and attracting even greater traffic to an emerging entertainment district along the city's most historic commercial corridor.

The musicians who are performing 3 ½ hours of Stones music include: Aaron Goldstein, Aaron Poole, Ben LeRoy, Ben Ledyard, Brad Newsom, Brad Riseau, Brian Vogelsong, Butch Zito, Chip Porter, Chris Debnam, Chris Julian, Dan McGowan, David Poland, Donny Merrill, Dustin Frolich, Ed Dwornik, Fat Daddy Has Been, Gordon Lippincott, IVA, Jack Taylor, James Everhar, Jeremy Worthington, Jim Lyons, Jim Miller, Jim Sinclair, Joe Ambrosino, Joe Trainor, Jordan Leitner, Kalai King, Kevin Kelleher, Kevin Lyons, Kevin McAlley, Kevin McCabe, Kevin Tarzanin, Kurt Houff, Marilee Calabrese, Mark MacTurk, Matt Urban, Michael Davis, Nancy Micciulla, Pete LeRoy, Phil Calabrese, Randy Waters, Ritchie Rubini, Rob Grant, Roger Kirtley, Sam Starr, Scott Birney, Steve Bailey, Steve Hobson, Thomas Huges, Tim Kelly, TJ Ferrara and many more!

Doors open at 7pm for an 8:30pm show start. Further information about this upcoming performance can be found here:
