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 Research Hospital, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, The Petit Family Foundation, YMCA, Girls Scouts, Boys & Girls Club and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

 "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."
