LAKEWOOD, NJ - Pete Cannarozzi, the organist for the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center in Newark, will be tickling the ivories at FirstEnergy Park on Saturday, September 5th at the BlueClaws 7:05 pm game.

Cannarozzi, who has been with the Devils since 2001, will perform before and during that night's BlueClaws game on an organ set up in the FirstEnergy Park Press Box.

"Pete Cannarozzi has been an outstanding organist with the Devils for 15 years and we are thrilled to bring him to FirstEnergy Park," said Chris Tafrow, BlueClaws Senior VP of Business Development. "We are able to give our fans a unique feel to what promises to be a fun night at the ballpark."

Added Kevin Clark, PA announcer for both the BlueClaws and the Devils: "Not only is Pete a phenomenal musician with an incredible résumé, he has a unique knack for coming up with the perfect song for every situation during a Devils game. He's also one of the nicest people I've met in my 17 years in sports. It's going to be fun working with him on September 5th at FirstEnergy Park."
