"It is with great pleasure that for the third consecutive year we present the Powerstation Events Concert Series at the Travelers Championship," said Al Vagnini, president of Powerstation Events. "To produce a music concert amidst the backdrop of a PGA TOUR event is a truly unique and excellent concept and our team couldn't be more proud to partner with the Travelers Championship to stage this great event and to support the many charities that the Travelers Championship benefits."
