On Aug. 5, beloved front-of-house sound man and Soupstock Music Festival founder Joe Manganello, better known as Joe Mango, passed away. To honor his memory and to raise funds to cover his "end of life costs and the Mary A. Schmecker Turtle Shell Fund, furthering art, craft and music education for children and young adults," musicians from bands such as Deep Banana Blackout, Kung Fu, Eggy, Goose, RAQ and more will come together for The Mango Allstars Tribute Livestream. The show will be streamed live from the Wall Street Theatre on Sept. 19, beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
Mango ran front-of-house sound for Kung Fu and Connecticut venue BRYAC. In addition to starting and running Soupstock, he was also a staff member for festivals such as Gathering of the Vibes, Catskill Chill and many more.
The event will feature short sets from Deep Banana Blackout, Kung Fu, Eggy and Alpaca Gnomes, and will also see "all star configurations" of artists such as Goose's Ben Atkind and Peter Anspach, RAQ's Todd Stoops, Star Kitchen's Danny Mayer, Turkuaz's Michelangelo Carubba and many more.
