WALK 97.5, Live Nation, and the multi-Grammy award winning band Train are celebrating Nurse’s Month in a very special way. The Northwell Health Nurse Choir will join headliners Train as part of the “AM Gold Tour” at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on June 10. The Nurse Choir will make its Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater debut with special guests Jewel and Blues Traveler.
The Northwell Health Nurse Choir formed as a reprieve from the challenges facing front-line healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the power of their voices and their dedication to patients, they won over the hearts of Americans everywhere while spreading hope and optimism.
“We are so excited to welcome the Northwell Health Nurse Choir to our summer tour date at The Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater for their Long Island debut,” shared Pat Monahan.
WALK 97.5 is running a special promotion featuring Northwell Health Nurse Choir vignettes and giving away tickets to listeners. Every time a listener wins a pair of tickets, a Northwell Health nurse wins a pair, too, courtesy of Train and Live Nation.
“We don’t get an opportunity like this often,” said Patrick Shea, Program Director for WALK 97.5. “We celebrate Nurse’s month every year because these men and women are heroes and
deserve recognition for their dedication. But, this Choir is truly inspiring. We are humbled to share their performance with our audience and invite their colleagues to join us, courtesy of Train and LiveNation”.
“It’s a privilege to perform at an iconic venue that’s so close to home and in one of the communities we serve,” said Keshia Jaboin, RN, BSN, Northwell Health Nurse Choir member. “Music has brought us healing and hope through good and difficult times over the last two years. It is our hope to inspire others to find joy through song.”

Cuomo today announced that the New York State Office of General Services and New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are joining with partners again to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks and events from 6-10pm at the Empire State Plaza, including a pop-up vaccination site from 5:30- 8:00pm; and at Jones Beach State Park beginning at 9:30pm.
