Rich Pagano & The sugarCane Cups host a special live rehearsal at City Winery of songs for the following day’s March 2nd benefit concert “The Music of The Who” at Carnegie Hall, presented by Michael Dorf Presents.

As the house band leader for the Carnegie show, Pagano will anchor this intimate dress rehearsal with a selection of his original music, Beatles tunes and of course, the music of the Who. Joining him will be some of the artists performing at Carnegie Hall the following night. In addition there will be special appearances by The Contes and Jimmy Vivino’s Prisoners of 2nd Avenue.
