Members of The MuscleThe historic theater will host a one-night-only rock concert on Saturday, May 31 – the first in their newly launched Milemarker 27 Music Series – featuring local favorites Melodramatic Fools and The Muscle.

Irvington, NY — The beloved local musicians behind Irvington Theater’s  IRV ♥ LA benefit are getting the bands back together – literally! As part of the theater’s newly launched Milemarker 27 Music Series, the Rivertown musicians in The Muscle and Melodramatic Fools are taking you 30 years back in time to the fresh, fly 1990s for an unmissable night of musical memorabilia!

The Muscle will perform the brilliant Britpop songs of Oasis, the famously feuding, Gallagher brother-led rock group from Manchester, England, known for hits like "Wonderwall” and "Champagne Supernova.” Melodramatic Fools will take on the catalog of Green Day, the California-formed punk band known for angsty anthems like “When I Come Around,” “Good Riddance,” and later, “American Idiot.”

“Why wait for Halloween to see awesome local talent?,” said The Muscle’s Dan Weiss, who is also a producer of the event. “We can't wait to kick off our local music series and bring that same fun and energy to our gorgeous local theater.”

“The talent of these musicians is incredible,” added Jessica Arinella, Irvington Theater Commission Co-Chair. “The theater is excited to continue in our mission of becoming a hub and home to our local artists while creating elevated and entertaining programming for our audience. It’s going to be a super fun night.”  

The May 31 concert promises to be a true celebration of local talent. The musicians behind The Muscle are Francis O'Shea, Mike Zakarin, Josh Rosenblum, Danny Blumberg, and Dan Weiss. Melodramatic Fools is comprised of Dan Weiss, Michael Moshan, Nathan Williams, Vin Fiorillo, Paul Smetana.
