Artist Cortney Wall will paint an original Bernie Williams canvas live during the reception & concert to be autographed by Bernie Williams and auctioned off for charities!
From Centerfield to Center Stage! Bernie Williams, the New York Yankees center fielder for 16 years, is best known for his long and storied career in pinstripes – a career that includes four World Series championships, five appearances on the American League All-Star Team, four Gold Glove Awards and the 1996 American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player Award. Since he’s hung up his cleats, he’s had time to devote to his other great passion in life – jazz guitar. Now that he’s out of the game, he’s getting back to his musical roots. The former slugger will be bringing his music back to Ridgefield with his All-Star Band!
