Get ready, South Florida, because the one and only Gwen Stefani is coming to town! On April 29, the three-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and fashion icon will grace West Palm Beach with her presence for a truly unforgettable evening. The event, a benefit concert for Dreyfoos School of the Arts, promises an intimate and exclusive experience with the superstar, and it’s happening right here at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.
In case you’re not familiar with Stefani’s work (although we doubt it), she is the lead singer and co-founder of No Doubt and has achieved massive success as a solo artist. Her extensive catalog of chart-topping hits includes “Just a Girl,” “Underneath It All,” “Cool,” and the phenomenal cover of “It’s My Life,” among many others. This one-night-only event, the Save Our Musicians Foundation Dinner Gala, will feature Stefani accompanied by her own band and dancers, delivering a high-energy performance under the stars.
Picture this: the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches transformed into an elegant outdoor venue, with infield tables and chairs for a close-up view of the stage, and additional seating in the bleachers. Guests opting for the infield seating will be treated to a sumptuous three-course meal catered by Professional Sports Catering, Powered by Levy, as well as an open bar to keep spirits high throughout the evening.
Meanwhile, bleacher seat ticket holders will have full access to the concession area, ensuring a fun and festive atmosphere for all. The stage, strategically placed at the edge of the infield/outfield line, will face home plate, providing excellent sightlines for every attendee.
But the night won’t be all about Stefani; many talented Dreyfoos students will also share the spotlight. As part of the event, students from all six art departments will showcase their skills in various ways. Some will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to open for Stefani, performing on the same stage as the megastar. Others will entertain guests at different locations within the Ballpark in the lead-up to the main event. Additionally, Dreyfoos students’ artwork will be on display and later sold at a private auction.
The Dreyfoos School of the Arts, originally named Palm Beach County School of the Arts, received its current moniker after a generous donation from philanthropist Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. As an all-arts public magnet high school, it’s the perfect beneficiary for this star-studded event. Major Gifts Officer John Richards expressed his gratitude, stating, “We are honored that a charity like this would bring a performer of Gwen Stefani’s caliber to help our students. We can’t wait for this electric show that will feature some of our own amazingly talented students.”
The Save Our Musicians Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to cultivating the next generation of musical talent and supporting independent artists, is equally excited. President Dennis Cunningham said, “Nothing like this has ever been done before. We are so thrilled that we are actually going to help these students in a way Palm Beach County has never seen before.”
So mark your calendars, South Florida, because this is an event you won’t want to miss. Join Gwen Stefani, the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, and the Save Our Musicians Foundation for an unforgettable evening under the stars, all for a great cause.
