Gary Sinise to Perform State Theater Benefit

Actor Gary Sinise's Lt. Dan Band will perform benefit show for wounded Whitehall veteran in August.

You might know Gary Sinise from the movie Forest Gump, or for playing the lead role on CSI: NY.

But when Sinise takes the stage at Easton's later this summer, it will be as a musician, not as an actor.

Sinise's Lt. Dan Band is scheduled to perform a show Aug. 17 to benefit Sgt. Adam Keys, a Whitehall Township Army veteran who lost both legs and his left hand in an IED explosion in 2010.

The band -- which takes its name from Sinise's Forest Gump character -- plays a mix of pop, rock, funk and honky-tonk, according to a news release from the theater.

All proceeds from the cocnert will go to build a new home for Keys. Tickets are on sale now at 610-252-3132. Prices range from $35 to $75.
