Eight Eddie Brigati Honors Scholarship Musicians (forming The Rascals tribute band, GROOVIN’) had the privilege of performing on stage at our NYC home, The Cutting Room, with rock legends and Rockit Live Foundation Artist Advisory Board members, Stevie and Maureen Van Zandt, Ricky Byrd, and of course, Eddie and Susan Brigati. The event’s MC was additional Artist Advisory Board member, and NYC Fox5 evening news anchor, Steve Lacy.
Joe Pomarico, producer of Grammy Award winning records at Atlantic Records, surprised Eddit Brigati with unveiling newly RIAA certified (in a digital era!) GOLD RECORD of “Good Lovin’” and PLATINUM RECORDS of “Groovin’” and “A Beautiful Morning”!
The show also unveiled the 2024 video premiere of GROOVIN’s newly recorded “People Got to be Free” featuring Eddie Brigati, from audio sessions produced by Joe Pomarico at Atlantic Records Studio in NYC. Click here to watch.
