The final concert of the 2016 season will take place at Marine Park with a performance by the Rolling Stones tribute band Sha Doobie.

“We have a quality lineup of entertainment, so mark your calendar, bring a chair or a blanket and make your way to the shows in our beautiful parks. I guarantee you will enjoy the entertainment that will feature classic rock, a Rolling Stones tribute band, the greatest hits of all time, disco, doo wop, rock and roll, dance and more,” Golden said.

Golden told the Brooklyn Eagle that his own taste in summer music is quite varied. “I go back to Frank Sinatra and all of those old guys. And I like Andrea Bocelli. But I can also get right into so much of today’s music, as well as stuff from the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s,” he said. “What I like to see is people coming out to our parks, hearing a song that brings back memories for them and seeing them get up and dance.”

The 2016 Concerts in the Park are sponsored by Golden with the support from Tracey Real Estate, the Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee, the law offices of Christopher James Patsos, Super Roofer, the Hen House, Dr. Vincent M. Adamo, Mussels & More and the Bay Ridge Manor.

All of the shows are free and the concerts are subject to change, particularly if there is inclement weather. For more information, call 718-238-6044, visit Golden’s Facebook page or follow him on Twitter at @senmartygolden.
