Veteran's Day Benefit for the VFW Post 399! (Hosts of JATP!) featuring trumpeter Michael Bogart long time member of Tower of Power, and 20 year veteran of the US Navy band

November 9, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

$30

We are pleased to Announce Michael Bogart and Joe Corsello!

In addition to touring and recording with Tower of Power, Bogart has worked with Aerosmith, Neil Diamond and recorded music for video games based on the Dragon Ball Z cartoon franchise.

However, he always kept a foot in the door with the Navy. He worked with their music program and did recruiting. In 2009 he returned to the Navy.

While there he got to play trumpet for former President Jimmy Carter. Carter is a U.S. Naval Academy alumni, and was attending his class reunion where Bogart was playing.

Afterward, Carter had requested to meet with Bogart to tell him how much he appreciated his playing.
