For the next four Sundays — Oct. 5, Oct. 12, Oct. 19, and Oct. 26 — the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) will host a king’s ransom of local acts at its Stony Brook headquarters.
Each show will kick off at 3 p.m., with Marci Geller, Rupert Wates, Marian Mastrorilli, and Emmett Hughes set to rock loudly, proudly, and often.
Additionally, on Saturday, Oct. 18, Rosemarie Reed will screen her film “Playing in the FM Band: The Steve Post Story” as part of the organization’s local filmmaker series.
Geller is a seasoned, narratively driven singer-songwriter who has shone everywhere from intimate coffeehouses to prestigious concert halls. She has performed on “Live! with Regis,” “Good Day NY,” and “CNN Worldbeat.” Her music has featured on ABC Family (now Freeform), MTV, VH1, PBS, A&E, Discovery Channel, and USA Network, among other popular platforms. She also toured for two years as the opening act and backup vocalist for Blackmore’s Night, a LIMEHOF inductee.
Multi-award-winner Wates combines unforgettable songs with virtuoso guitar playing. His music blends folk, jazz, and classical influences, reflecting both his English roots and years on the road in the U.S.
Mastrorilli, a Huntington-based singer-songwriter, crafts songs ranging from moody to playful. Her latest CD, “Sea Salt and Sawdust,” was released on March 1.
Hughes, also from Huntington, writes and performs original songs blending rock, reggae, pop, and heartfelt lyrics. He's also a chiropractor, master gardener, sailor, and father.
Documentary filmmaker and former WBAI station manager Reed honors Steve Post with “Playing in the FM Band.” The radio legend, whose voice is synonymous with the Nixon-scandalized Watergate era, “pioneered freeform radio by improvising self-deprecating stories.”
This month also marks the last call for those eager to visit LIMEHOF’s “Billy Joel: My Life” exhibit, which officially closes on October 26.
