The Stray Cats' LEE ROCKER to Perform at Patchogue Theatre, 10/14

Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA) is proud to present Long Island's own Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m.
Lee Rocker and the Stray Cats sold more than 10 million records, garnered an astounding 23 gold and platinum records worldwide, and were music video pioneers of MTV. The Stray Cat's worldwide mega hits "Stray Cat Strut," "Sexy and Seventeen" and "Rock this Town" have become a part of the fabric of rock and roll. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has included "Rock this Town" as one of the 500 most important songs in rock.

From the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine, to appearing on "Saturday Night Live," to headlining the U.S. Festival and touring with The Rolling Stones, Lee Rocker has seen and done it all. In addition to the Stray Cats and the Stones, Rocker has toured and performed with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell and John Fogerty. In 1982 Rocker and his father Stanley Drucker, (classical clarinetist) both received Grammy nominations; this was something that has only occurred twice in the history of the Grammy Awards.

In 2012, Rocker appeared on Broadway in the hit musical "Million Dollar Quartet" and in 2014 he was inducted into the Bass Player Hall of Fame. Rocker has received numerous honors for his contributions to music and the arts, including being inducted to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, the Long Island Music Hall of Fame and he is a recipient of the Visionary Artist Award by the City of Laguna Beach California. In his concert performances, Lee Rocker rocks every town and leaves every audience on their feet and cheering.

Patchogue Theatre first opened in 1923 as the largest theatre in Suffolk County. It still is, with the installation of 1,106 brand new seats during the 2016 renovation. Saved by Village of Patchogue in 1996 and lovingly restored it to its original grandeur, this beautiful and historic venue was in use 230 days with over 150,000 in attendance for its 2016-2017 season.

PTPA is an independent community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that leases the building from the Village of Patchogue and covers all of the operating costs without any subsidies from the Village. PTPA's leadership consists of a volunteer board of directors and a small professional staff. Patchogue Theatre continues to thrive thanks to the hard work of over 90 volunteers as well as the businesses, funding agencies and individuals who support PTPA by contributing their time and resources. Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts is located at 71 East Main Street, Patchogue, N.Y., and can be reached at 631-207-1313 or by visiting PatchogueTheatre.org.
