MANASSAS, Va. — On Saturday May 4, Crossroads Realty, PWC Entertainment and other area vendors will hold a special concert at the Olde Town Sports Pub. The Rock Show, a Journey tribute band, and the Rick Sickman Band will play hits songs from the 1980s. Proceeds from the show will go to benefit Operation Renewed Hope an organization that helps homeless veterans.
“I personally think the 80s were great,” said show organizer John Csoka. “I feel like there are very few concerts for the over 40 crowd, so we wanted to find something that would really appeal to them.”
The Rick Sickman band is coming all the way from the Midwest to entertain in Manassas and Csoka said he’s really looking forward to the show. Entry to the concert is free and vendors plan to donate any proceeds to charity.
“I met my wife at a Journey concert in 1986 so the era is obviously very special to us.” Csoka said. “We love the music from the 80s.”
Since alcohol will be available during the concert, no one under 21 will be able to attend. Csoka said he hopes to see the kind of crowd that turns out for St. Patrick’s Day at the Old Town Pub.
“It’s not uncommon to see more than 2,000 turn out for St. Patrick’s Day or New Years,” Csoka said. “We would love to have an even better turnout for this concert and really show our appreciation for our veterans.”
The concert will run from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on May 4 at the Old Towne Sports Pub 8971 Center Street in Manassas.
