Doors 4pm, Music 7:30pm
“Fuck, yeah!"
Come out for A full night of music celebrating the life of our great friend and brother, Lenny Polizzi.
Lenny was a Rochester gem…always at the forefront of the music scene, with his finger on the pulse of the sound, always seeking and promoting up and coming Americana and rock artists like Lucinda Williams, Dave Alvin, Phil Alvin, McKinley James, PJ Harvey, Los Straitjackets, The Hi-Risers, to name but a few.
Danny Deutsch’s Abilene Bar and Lounge was Lenny’s local chill spot.
The evening will be hosted by Stephe “Rock” Ferraro with music by…
The Virtuous Rogues (of Rochester) and Special Guests
The Virtuous Rogues, a group of old and new friends, is made up of the “Adeane Drive Gang,” which Lenny, and the late Brian Horton) were a huge part of, and includes Tom Passamonte, Stephe and Tom “Biff” Ferraro, Dave Arenius, as well as special guests.
The Virtuous Rogues, a musical co-op, will be presenting their unique blend of creative roots, rock, and Americana, all while playing in a progressive jam style, a style where the music is always full of surprises and each member is encouraged to bring their “own special something” and step out a bit, inspiring one another in their rhythm and roots style to open up in a way that might be a bit different than normal by adding a different color or feel to the music (and not playing things as the usual three minute cover song)…at one moment playing a country/roots ballad or some funky groove and then on a dime turning it into a psychedelic trance…but always groovin’!!!
So…in the true spirit and to quote Lenny, “F*CK YEAH!”
So…spread da word….bring a friend and come ready to rock and to celebrate the life of Lenny Polizzi!
