Glen Cove’s Village Square Plaza will be rocking out this Friday as the Downtown Sounds free concert series continues with the Stanton Anderson Band. The weekly concert series, presented by OWWR, Old Westbury Web Radio, the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District and the City of Glen Cove, features free music every Friday evening in downtown Glen Cove.
Once called Long Island’s “greatest live act ever,” the Stanton Anderson Band is back, claiming their reign on the rock ’n roll throne. Their powerful live shows and popularity took Long Island by the ears and created a following of life-long fans that came out of the woodwork upon SAB’s reunion in 2000. It all started in the early ‘70s. The ‘70s became the high point of the band’s success with highlights such as a legendary live concert at Rumbottom’s broadcasted on WLIR, a Nassau Coliseum gig opening up for the Marshall Tucker Band and a slot on bills with huge stars including Southside Johnny and the Allman Brothers. The band’s unique sound is sparked by a blend of soulful guitar riffs, bluesy lyrics and bass lines that gravitate down one’s spine creating the groove that is the Stanton Anderson Band. Supported by power-packed percussion and horns, rhythmic keyboards, and the raspy, cabaret voice of Mark Fowler, the band is a rock ‘n’ roll life-force destined for legendary greatness in the 1970s.
The music takes place from 7 until 10 p.m. at the Glen Cove Village Square, on the corners of Glen and School streets. Downtown Sounds 2016 will have free parking in nearby municipal garages.
