October Slate for LIMEHOF


This month marks the last call for those eager to visit LIMEHOF’s “Billy Joel: My Life” exhibit, which officially closes on October 26. | LIMEHOF

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.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
