First Jason

First Jason is a heavy metal band led by Ari Lehman, the “boy in the lake” from the original Friday the 13 – where it all began. It may have been a while since you’ve seen a band led by a keytar player, and Ari takes it to a new level. The sound is perfect for metal fans who enjoy a taste of funk and blues. They have been described somewhere in-between Motorhead, Black Sabbath, and “Weird Al” Yankovic. Building on the motif of Jason Vorhees, the songs have a depth that will delight fans who enjoy their music on multiple levels. A live metal show like this does not come to Westchester often!

Thomas G. Waites Project

The Thomas G. Waites Project is an NYC band playing Americana indie rock with a country twang. You may know Thomas from The Thing, The Warriors, And Justice for All or a ton of other films. Also in the band are talented performers and songwriters Tony Daniels and Cedric Allen Hills.

The show alone is worth the price of admission, but make sure to come during the main convention to get autographs from both Ari and Thomas!
