The Movin’ Out Band Headlining Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic’s East End Benefit

Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic (PPHP) will host its annual East End Benefit: Artists for Choice on Saturday, June 15 at Guild Hall in East Hampton.

This year’s soiree will feature a special concert headlined by The Movin’ Out Band from the Tony Award Winning Billy Joel Musical Movin’ Out, as well as an art auction curated by Pamela Willoughby.

The Movin’ Out Band, led by singer Wade Preston (who was one of the two original principles starring in the “Piano Man” role in the hit musical, and was hand-selected by Mr. Joel himself), will showcase hits from The Billy Joel Songbook, while more than 50 artists donated exceptional pieces to the art auction, which will be hosted online by Paddle8.

“We are excited about this year’s event as it features an amazing art auction with beautiful and invocative pieces, as well as a concert featuring The Movin’ Out Band,” Vincent Russell, President & CEO, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, shared.
