At 8 p.m., New York City’s famed “Singing Cop” Daniel Rodriguez will take the stage at the Music Hall at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden to headline the next installment of Borough President James P. Molinaro’s summer Starlight Concert Series.
Rodriguez, a tenor and Rossville resident, gained fame for his stirring renditions of patriotic songs after the Sept. 11 attacks.
