The Friends of Crawford Park are pleased to announce the next Music at the Mansion benefit concert to raise funds for the park.
Appearing on Saturday, December 7, 2019, at 8PM will be progressive rock band IZZ. Venue location: 122 North Ridge St., Rye Brook, NY 10573. Tickets are $20 in advance and $24 at the door. Doors open at 7PM. Refreshments are available at the show, including beer and wine.
Without question, one of the brightest lights on the American progressive/art rock scene, IZZ melds classic and modern prog influences, strong melodies, and stirring guitar and synthesizer solos into a familiar yet refreshing musical stew. They have consistently delivered their innovative and unique original sound with rising praise for each album released. IZZ is inspired by such classic progressive groups as Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Renaissance and is often infused with pop hooks à la The Beatles.
IZZ was formed under the musical vision of brothers Tom and John Galgano. In 1996, Tom brought together fellow Manhattanville College classmates, all musically trained, to write, arrange and perform original, adventurous music. IZZ’s lineup includes percussionist (and Blind Brook legend) Greg DiMiceli, Paul Bremner (guitars), Anmarie Byrnes (vocals), Laura Meade (vocals), and Brian Coralian (drums). They have released eight studio albums, including “Don’t Panic” in 2019, and have appeared at many festivals including CalProg (Los Angeles), NEARFest (Bethlehem PA), Terra Incognita (Quebec), and Progtoberfest (Chicago).

Music at the Mansion is presented by Friends of Crawford Park. Crawford Park is a 36-acre preserve located in Rye Brook, NY. Originally the estate of the Crawford family, the grounds and mansion were donated to the Town of Rye in 1971. The park contains an early 20th-century mansion, hundreds of mature trees, an expansive lawn, a playground, a large picnic pavilion, and a sunken garden. Friends of Crawford Park was established in 1996 and is a nonprofit organization dedicated to beautification of the park grounds and preservation of the Crawfords’ legacy. Music at the Mansion concerts take place in the historic Crawford Park mansion and happen approximately bimonthly.
