Red Oaks dad, board member, and StarFish drummer and vocalist, Dave Hartkern, a.k.a. “Grateful Dave,” has helped to orchestrate the November 1st concert in collaboration with Red Oaks Head of School Marilyn Stewart. This is familiar ground for Hartkern who is Vice President of Operations for the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ, where he has worked since 1988. Other band members include Ray “StingRay” Leone (lead vocals and guitar), Tom “Tommy Three-Tone” Lucas (lead guitar and vocals), Mark “Dr. Yes” Asch (keyboards and vocals), and Ed “Grumpy Edward” Iglewski (bass guitar).

StarFish bills itself as “The Greatest Rock Band in the World…for Kids!” These four local dads and former rockers met through their children, discovered a mutual passion, saw a need, and set out to fill it. According to their Facebook page, their mission is “to help kids develop an early appreciation for real rock music, while entertaining parents, too!”
