The America First Warehouse in Ronkonkoma has built a reputation as one of Long Island’s most unapologetically patriotic gathering places, hosting concerts, podcasts, rallies, and memorials centered on free speech, American identity, and conservative values. Founded by local businessman and media personality Joe “The Box”, the venue has become a hub for political discussion, cultural events, and community engagement.
That mission will be on display again on Saturday Feb. 7, when The Warehouse hosts a live concert by American Ride, a nationally touring tribute band honoring country music star Toby Keith. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person and can be purchased online at theamericafirstwarehouse.com
The concert poster features a dramatic image of a lone motorcyclist set against an American flag backdrop, a visual style that has become synonymous with The Warehouse’s branding. The tribute celebrates Keith’s music and legacy, known for songs that emphasized patriotism, working-class pride, and support for U.S. troops.
Beyond live music, The America First Warehouse regularly serves as a stage for political commentary and civic discourse. It recently drew national attention after hosting a memorial service honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk, where speakers praised the venue as “America’s Most Patriotic Venue” and credited Joe The Box with creating a space where controversial viewpoints can be expressed without apology.
The Warehouse is also home to several podcasts and talk shows, attracting speakers and audiences from across Long Island and beyond. Supporters describe it as a modern town square for conservatives who feel marginalized in mainstream cultural spaces.
With its mix of music, media, and political engagement, the upcoming American Ride concert reflects what The America First Warehouse has become known for: blending entertainment with a clear message of patriotism, free expression, and community.
