The Moonlighter's Band performing

CARY, NC –Charlie Chiklis, founder of the Moonlighters, passed away last August, but his legacy lives on. The band will be celebrating his life and his music by offering a free concert in Cary on March 5th. While there is no entrance fee, donations will be collected throughout the evening to be given in Charlie’s memory to the American Cancer Society.

“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.

So get ready to foxtrot, swing and waltz as big band Charlie Chiklis and the Moonlighters perform Friday March 5th at 7:30 at Cary’s Herbert C. Young Community Center, 101 Wilkinson Ave. With their extensive experience and powerful aptitude for sensing the mood of an audience, they deliver performances that make every event memorable.
