 Jay Stollman’s Groovin’ On Tour: A Woodstock Generation Rock Experience is a powerful live concert experience celebrating the songs, artists, and spirit that defined a generation. “This concert features collection of the iconic songs that become the soundtrack for life in the late 1960s and early 1970s” says Foundation director, Judy Primavera. “Purchase tickets early as we are likely to sell out.”
 The Evening for the Arts reception and raffle preview begins at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be available. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 in advance, or $60 at the door and may be purchased through the Quick Center Box Office: (203) 254-4010, and online at <a href="https://fairfield.evenue.net/events/REN091926" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://fairfield.evenue.net/events/REN091926</a>

 The Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation is a Connecticut-based non-profit organization dedicated to educational enrichment for youth and professional development for early career professionals. The annual gala serves as the Foundation's signature fundraising event with 100% of the proceeds from the gala directly supporting the Foundation's mission of providing scholarships, educational programs to schools and local non-profits as well as artistic opportunities for emerging young artists across Connecticut. Through its commitment to arts education and creative development, the Foundation continues to inspire the next generation of performers, musicians, visual artists, and creative professionals. The foundation was founded in 2002 to celebrate the life of Jamie Alaine Hulley.
