The Mainstay Dinner/Dance Fundraiser
CLUB PHRED DINNER DANCE
Get ready for one of the biggest parties of the year! The Mainstay proudly presents Rock Hall Rocks - a Dinner Dance and our annual fundraising celebration, taking place on Sunday, September 13th at 4:00 PM under the tent in beautiful Rock Hall, Md.
This special outdoor dinner dance will feature delicious catering from Chester River Seafood along with an unforgettable evening of live music and dancing provided by one of Delaware’s premier party bands, Club Phred. Known throughout the Mid Atlantic region for their high energy performances, outstanding musicianship, and crowd pleasing mix of classic rock, R&B, funk, dance favorites, and timeless hits, Club Phred has earned a reputation as one of the area's most popular and respected party bands.
Founded and led by keyboardist and bandleader Fred Dawson, Club Phred has been entertaining audiences for decades with a combination of musical excellence, professionalism, and pure fun. Fred's vision was simple: assemble some of the finest musicians in the region and create a band that could deliver world class entertainment. The result is an award-winning group that has become a favorite at festivals, fundraisers, private events, and concert venues throughout the Mid Atlantic. Under Fred's leadership, Club Phred has helped raise millions of dollars for nonprofit organizations while building a loyal following of music lovers who know they can expect a first class show every time the band takes the stage.
One of the true highlights of the evening will be the opportunity to hear the remarkable Gaetano “Vinny” Vinciguerra, Club Phred’s world class saxophonist whose powerful sound and decades of professional experience have made him one of the most respected horn players in the region. A veteran performer who has toured throughout the United States and South America, appeared on television, performed in Atlantic City casinos, and spent years with the popular Philadelphia area band Purple Reign, Vinny continues to amaze audiences with his energy, passion, and extraordinary musicianship.
Tickets are $125 per person and include both dinner and entertainment. Guests will also have the chance to participate in special music themed raffle drawings, enjoy a few surprises throughout the evening, and celebrate all that makes The Mainstay such an important part of our community. If you would like to be a sponsor of this event, please contact our office at business@mainstayrockhall.org
Join us for a memorable afternoon and evening of great food, great music, dancing, laughter, and community spirit while helping support the future of The Mainstay. Tickets are limited and expected to sell quickly. We hope you will be part of this special celebration as Rock Hall truly rocks once again.
