“We are absolutely ecstatic that Kinderhook and Trigger will be performing on the same stage at our 10-year anniversary fundraiser. That has not happened in over 50 years. Add mainstay Jersey Shore musicians the Ned Ryerson Band, Matt Noffsinger, Joe Faronea, Jimi DeLucci, 3 Daze ‘Til Sunday and Ronnie Brooks, plus some other very special musical guests, and we are going to have one pretty big party at the River Rock,” said Walt Konopka, co-chair of the Barbara Forfar Nursing Scholarship Fund and brother to the late Mrs. Forfar.
Kinderhook (formerly known as Kinderhook Creek) was one of the first country-rock bands in New Jersey to play the club circuit. The band performed up and down the east coast and also in Nashville. The band was active from 1973-82.
New Jersey hard rockers Trigger was born in late 1973 as a five-piece band. The band later became a four-piece outfit and established itself as one of New Jersey’s top bands in the 1970s.
