The couple is well-known in the city and beyond for their starring roles in the reality series Ice Lake Rebels.

The concert features Tuccaro and the Don’t Give Up Your Day Job Band as well as special guests George Mandeville, Norbert Poitras, Earl McAuley, Tracy Riley, Andrea Boettger, Pat Braden and Felipe Gomez.
