PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii - Alternative rock band Taking Back Sunday performed a free show for service members at Ward field at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam (JBPHH) Saturday, June 20.
The band played for two hours to approximately 700 service members and families and performed songs from each of their six studio albums.
Lead singer Adam Lazzara said this was Taking Back Sunday’s third military tour and the band always looks forward to meeting and performing for military members and their families.
“Playing for military members is the least we can do for their service to our country,” said Lazzara. “It's our personal way of saying thank you for their sacrifice and enables the band to meet our fans in the military all over the world.”
The band’s show drew fans both new and old, demonstrating their broad appeal to a diverse audience of music lovers.
“I’ve been a Taking Back Sunday fan since 2001. They are definitely one of my favorite bands,” said Coast Guard Public Relations Specialist 2nd Class Tara Molle. “I’ve seen them seven times now, and they always put on a great show.”
The show was organized by the Navy’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) services, which is committed to bringing military bases and ships the best in celebrity and recreational entertainment.
“I’ve been traveling with the band for the past two weeks as they’ve visited different military installations and it’s been a blast,” said Karen Fritz, Navy entertainment coordinator for Commander, Navy Installations Command. “My favorite part of the tour so far was the show in Guam. It was the first time the base there was open to the public for a military concert and it was a pretty cool experience.” Navy entertainment is a division of navy MWR that delivers quality celebrity shows to navy locations and ships at sea wherever they may be.
