Tickets/Sponsorships
The Uptown! Entertainment Alliance’s Red Carpet Gala will be a unique and historic evening of live music, dancing, an auction, and our community’s farewell to the National Guard troops who called the Armory home for almost a century.
We will start with a short salute to the troops, recognizing their long and honorable history and their contributions to our community, our state and our country. Then Joel Roberts, winner of the 2013 Uptown! Songwriting Contest, will perform his crowd-pleasing songs. Finally, our headline act, The First Ladies of Rock & Soul, will entertain in style with their 14-piece band as we dance the night away in the Armory’s impressive Drill Hall, made festive for this evening.
Gala funds will finance our 2013-2014 programming and contribute toward creating a permanent theater in West Chester. The Armory itself is first on our list, and this will be our chance to use it as an entertainment venue.
This will be a night for West Chester to remember.
The First Ladies of Rock and Soul 
turn the clock back to a time and place in music history that only comes around once. Or does it? This electrifying portrayal of the Girl Groups of the 1960′s will put you there.
JOEL ROBERTS
Joel Roberts, one of West Chester’s favorite singers and the winner of the 2013 Uptown! Songwriting Contest, performs personal music he describes as, “folksy with like a little bit of country roots.”
