Teen musicians from Rockville Centre on July 20 will perform in a concert to benefit local victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The rock bands — Bailout 42, Opposite Orange, Sabretooth, Robot Dad, The Punk Rangers and 3 to 1 — will play on the lawn of Saint Mark's Church, at 200 Hempstead Ave., on Saturday, July 20, at 3:30 p.m. The suggested donation is $5, and there will also be snacks, soft drinks and BBQ.
Lucas Santora, 16, the lead guitarist for Bailout 42, said he was inspired by the 12/12/12 concert that benefited victims of the devastating storm.
