Formed in 2002, the (almost) all-physician rock band DNR has been a community favorite for two decades, playing rock and roll staples from the 1960s and 70s, including the music of Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, and the Beatles.
On Saturday, June 14, they’ll bring their vintage rock sensibilities to the Trefz Forum for a special fundraiser benefiting The Westport Library. The show kicks off at 7 pm.

In this special performance at the Library, DNR will talk about their history between songs and share some behind-the-scenes stories.
The band has previously performed at The Levitt Pavilion and has donated its time at many charitable events, including fundraisers for pancreatic and breast cancer, ALS, and the Norwalk Hospital.
“DNR is a Westport treasure,” said Westport Library Executive Director Bill Harmer. “They’re a great group and an great show. We can’t wait to have them rock the forum, and we very much appreciate their support in helping us raise the money we need to provide free and low-cost programming to our community year-round.”
The Westport Library annually hosts more than 1,000 free programs, bringing together a remarkable 85,000-plus individuals — three times Westport's population — and offering a multitude of offerings for patrons of all ages. Westport provides 77% of the Library’s funding. That leaves 23% that the Library must fund itself, through a mix of generous donations, individual contributions, and fundraisers like this one.
“As a Library, we strive each and every day to provide free and engaging programming for our patrons,” said Robin Powell, Westport Library development director, “and the vast majority of our offerings are hosted at no charge. We want to continue to provide those programs, but we need your support to do so. That’s what makes fundraisers like this one so wonderful — it will be a great show, and you support the Library by attending. It’s a win-win!”
