Huey Lewis and the
News and Eddie Money will perform at the Travelers Championship.
Money will
be on stage in the Subway Fan Zone June 22, while Lewis and the News will
perform June 25, according to a Travelers Championship press
release.
The concerts
at TPC River Highlands will start around 7 p.m. after the last golfer of the day
completes his round. For Money that would be the Travelers Celebrity Pro-Am. And
for Lewis and the News it would be the third round.
Tournament
officials announced a partnership with The REACH Foundation to host the REACH
Concert Series during the tournament.
Fans can attend the Money and
Lewis and the News concerts by purchasing any one day ticket, which gives fans
access to the tournament and all of the entertainment throughout the day. The
Travelers Championship and The Reach Foundation are holding the concerts to
raise money and awareness to support charitable organizations and programs
focusing on children in need. In addition to its own programs, The REACH
Foundation also assists other local and national charities. These include: The
Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude Children's
"It is a
real opportunity for The REACH Foundation to be partnering with the Travelers
Championship, and bringing these two legends of rock to the tournament. Music
has a way of delivering messages to people that often times the spoken or
written word cannot," Mark Wilson, President and Co-Founder of The REACH
Foundation said in a statement."It is my hope that through this partnership with
the Travelers Championship, we can utilize this concert series to deliver the
message of children's needs while providing exciting post-play
entertainment."
