FELIX CAVALIERE’S RASCALS TO HEADLINE NEW YORK STATE’S FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION PRESENTED BY PRICE CHOPPER Event to Feature Food, Family-Friendly Activities and the Capital District’s Biggest and Best Fireworks Show

New York State Office of General Services Commissioner RoAnn M. Destito today announced New York State and Price Chopper are teaming up again to present New York State’s 39th annual Independence Day celebration at the Empire State Plaza. With an exciting program filled with amazing performances, great food, activities for children, and the largest pyrotechnics display in the region, this year’s festivities will run from 3 to 10 p.m. on Friday, July 4. “We are excited to, once again, be partnering with Price Chopper to put on an event that has been an Albany tradition since 1976,” Commissioner Destito said. “Based on past years’ attendance, we know how important this celebration is to the community, and this year’s incredible lineup of entertainment is sure to make it the best one yet.” “In 1976 we presented the first July 4 event at the plaza to celebrate the bicentennial and started what has become a treasured annual celebration of our nation’s birthday,” said Mona Golub, Price Chopper’s Vice President of Public Relations and Consumer Services. “Thirty-nine years later we continue to take pride in partnering with New York State to provide this gift to our hometown region.” Helping to cap off the festivities will be a performance by renowned rock and rollers Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals. Cavaliere earned his place in music history as the keyboard player and vocalist for the ’60s pop/rock sensation, The Rascals. From 1965 through 1969, The Rascals were one of the biggest groups in the country, with a string of hits including the Felix-sung “Good Lovin’,” “Groovin’,” “A Girl Like You,” “A Beautiful Morning,” and “People Got to Be Free.” The day’s lineup of musical artists includes something for everyone, including a performance by Gedeon Luke and The People. Hailing from the streets of Memphis, soul music flows through Gedeon Luke’s veins in rainbow colored hues. His band, The People, features Troy’s very own Joe and Jack Daley and will crash through the boundaries of music and society, to bring love, peace and soul to the world.
