Female country rock band to play Sea Cliff

The Island Now

All-female Country rock band Antigone Rising will be performing a free concert at the 2nd Annual BeachFest on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 5:30 p.m. at 56 The Blvd., Sea Cliff.

The show, to take place at sunset overlooking Sea Cliff Beach, is an attempt by the band to help give back to the community, in addition to raising funds and awareness for their nonprofit, Girl Bands Rock.

The group is adding special guests Trina Hamlin, and Annika to this year’s concert bill, as well as inviting Mia Alonso, an aspiring female singer-songwriter out of North Shore High School who has been mentored by the Girl Bands Rock program.

With the Billboard charting “From the Ground Up” along with a string of tour dates alongside The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The Allman Brothers, The Bangles, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and more, the band hit the ground running following their 2005 debut, and fused their success with helping educate youths around the world on accomplishing goals as Cultural Ambassadors to the United States Government.

The band has done outreach programs in Israel and Palestine and has recently returned from an trip to Vietnam this past July.

Antigone Rising partners with school districts and youth centers to create innovative programming dedicated to building confidence in youth by developing leadership and creative skills through musical workshops,  outreach programs and performances.
