The Hassles to be Inducted into the Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame

The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) will be inducting Long Island’s own 1960s era seminal rock-soul group, THE HASSLES—best known as Billy Joel’s first major record label band— including acclaimed drummer-turned-video-director Jon Small. Additionally, there will be a special celebration event co-produced by Stephen Marcuccio on Saturday, June 28th, at 8 p.m. at its Stony Brook Village Museum, located at 97 Main Street in Stony Brook, NY. The event is open to the public with special event ticket purchase. Tickets are $50.

LIMEHOF inductee Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel’s Band) is expected to officially induct the group. The event will feature live performances from current LIMEHOF inductees, including the hit-making duo The Alessi Brothers, and two-time LIMEHOF inductee drummer Mike Ricciardella of Barnaby Bye and The Illusion. Joining them on guitar will be legendary guitarist Jimmy Rip. Also, LIMEHOF inductee Albert Bouchard (founding and former member of Blue Öyster Cult) is expected to speak as well.
