Amagansett - The Annual Rock The Farm was held at Ocean View Farm following the Solider Ride to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). This year's event was held in honor of Lance Cpl. Jordan C. Haerter of Sag Harbor.

The evening was preceded by the Soldier Ride event that consisted of a 30 or 60 mile bicyle route, as well as two walk/runs.

Concluding the ride - the party was on - featuring live music by The Giving Tree Band, which hosted the event through The Giving Tree Foundation, Ilo Ferreira, Booga Sugar, Nancy Atlas, Winston Irie, and Chris Barron of The Spin Doctors. Each of these artists have donated their talent and time to this worthy cause on numerous occasions.

With an open bar all night long, as well as an American BBQ and over four hours of great live music at a reasonable and affordable ticket price for the benefit of such a worthy organization made for an enjoyable and fun filled evening that was shared by friends, families, soldiers, and supporters of WWP and the wonderful work the organization does daily for returning veterans.

Members of The Giving Tree Band keep Rock The Farm rockin' and rollin' on Saturday.


Special thanks goes to Nick Kraus who has been involved with Soldier Ride since its inception, as well as the WWP. Kraus is with The Stephen Talkhouse and along with numerous others helped to organize the day and evening events. As well a big thanks goes to local merchants, musicians, attendees and supporters who donated not only food and libations, but also their time and energy to ensure the day and evening were a total success.
