A Night of Music has been a long-standing fundraising event with proceeds going to support cancer patients with programs, services, and financial assistance for items not covered by insurance through the Swim Across the Sound. This year, the Night of Music leadership committee has partnered with Hartford HealthCare’s St. Vincent’s Medical Center to come together and ignite the night with classic rock from two of the most sought-after bands, Fleetwood Macked and Tangled Vine.
Fleetwood Macked is hailed as the most authentic Fleetwood Mac tribute band in the U.S. All members of Fleetwood Macked are and have always been professional, touring rock musicians, which adds to the authenticity of the sound of the band. Fleetwood Macked live brings the passion, depth, heart and the musicianship Fleetwood Mac's music requires. Whether performing the Rumours album or Fleetwood Mac's hits from the 70's, 80's, 90's and today, every performance transports audiences to another time and place.
Tangled Vine is made up of professional full-time musicians and has won multiple Best of the Gold Coast's Highest Award for total votes for all gold coast towns. With a mix of classic and contemporary rock, soul, and rhythm & blues - from Janis Joplin to the Stones, Bruno Mars to Prince, Johnny Cash to Humble Pie - Tangled Vine delivers an irresistible soundtrack and is ready to bring the house down with smokin’ hot rock and roll.
