Charlie Chiklis and the Moonlighters Return to Cary with Free Swing Concert

CARY, NC – Get ready to foxtrot, swing and waltz as big band Charlie Chiklis and the Moonlighters perform a free concert at Cary’s Herbert C. Young Community Center, 101 Wilkinson Ave., on Friday, March 5, 2010 at 7:30 p.m.  While there is no entrance fee, donations will be collected at the door in memory of Charlie Chiklis, founder of Charlie Chiklis and the Moonlighters, who died last August. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. The concert will serve to celebrate his life, his music and the contributions he gave to the Cary community.

“We’re excited about coming together and using music to remember Charlie,” said Sarah Preston, Performing Arts Coordinator with the Town of Cary. “From the stage to the dance floor, we hope to capture his spirit and end the night with large donation to the American Cancer Society.”

The Moonlighters are a premier dance band with a broad repertoire of music including swing, foxtrots, waltzes and all Latin tempos. In addition, the band has an impressive library of beach/shag, soft rock and country music arrangements. Their smooth blend of brass, woodwinds and percussion appeals to all age groups who like to dance or listen. This is the band’s third consecutive appearance at Cary’s Herbert C. Young Community Center.
