Danstravaganza was a benefit concert at The Tangier - the goal was to build a running track at the school Dan Van Auken taught at before he passed away from cancer last year. Dan was an avid runner and much loved by his students, family and all of his many friends. Three bands that are no longer together reunited to raise money and many items were donated and auctioned off. The event was hosted by Stephen Bishop. It was a great evening to benefit the memory of an amazing man.
Checking out the raffle items.

"The Man I Fell In Love With" going through soundcheck.
"Control Room"
"The Man I Fell In Love With" was a 90s Kent indie band that everyone heard but not many got to see live. Everyone was excited to see them play live all these years later - they opened the show up in style.
