On APRIL 28 at Stage AE, tune in for Pittsburgh’s most rocking night! The Cancer Caring Center has struck the right note in producing its signature fundraiser, Pittsburgh Rock ’N Roll Legends Awards, which supports free services to cancer patients and their families while honoring the city’s rock music industry luminaries with a night of eating, drinking, VIP guests, video tributes, and, of course, rocking out. The Class of 2016 is an impressive lineup, featuring Modern Era Legends Joe Grushecky and Billy Price, Legacy Legends The Skyliners, Music Industry Professional Pat DiCesare, and Music Broadcaster Sean McDowell. “We thank all the fans for voting, and hope everyone will join us to celebrate with our deserving honorees and nominees for all they’ve done to enrich our lives through music,” says Rebecca Whitlinger, executive director of the Cancer Caring Center. “The chance to see so much talent in one room on one night is truly unique and makes you really proud to be a Pittsburgher!” The night will close out with a full-on jam session, combining some of Pittsburgh’s biggest rockstars. To those about to rock, we salute you! For tickets and more information, visit PittsburghRockLegends.com. — Abby Dudley
