"My grandfather's first dream was to entertain. He loved the Saxophone and headed up a band in the Bronx before World War 2. He was such an inspiration to my family, as well as his friends. It gives me great joy to extend his positive influence and passion for music in this way" says Pace.

The event will also recognize small business in Ossining and the positive effect it had on Pace's life while he was studying acting in New York. Four Local Ossining Businesses have sponsored the event, and will have exclusive offers for attendees that evening.
