7:00 pm: The British Invasion Years

More than just the Beatles, this nostalgic musical retrospective spans the entire first wave of the British Invasion era, chock full of the groovy sights and sounds from BOTH sides of the Atlantic!

First, you will hear chart toppers by iconic British groups such as The Zombies, Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Moody Blues, Herman’s Hermits, and many others. As bassist/vocalist Bobby M notes, “We’ve always had a large fan base because of the wide variety of music and nostalgic aspect of our show. But thanks to Beatles Rock Band, the Fab Four’s addition to iTunes & Spotify, plus the fact that many of the era’s songs have recently been featured in TV, film, and commercials, our family-friendly performances truly appeal to both young and the young at heart.”

The American Response follows, with the biggest hits by legendary artists like The Monkees, The Beach Boys, Steppenwolf, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, The Mamas and The Papas, Neil Diamond, and The Turtles, to name just a few.

This journey through the 1960s concludes with an extraordinary finale with songs from the four lads that started it all– The Beatles! “When we came up with the idea for a finale, we posed the question, ‘What if the Beatles had to perform their music today only as the four-piece band they were?’”, explains guitarist Lee Scott Howard. The result by this “Fab Foursome” is truly astounding.

Experience a ’60s Musical Revolution with The British Invasion Years!

7:00 pm: The Lords of 52nd Street

The Lords of 52nd Street are Billy Joel’s original band. They do not need to copy or reinvent the original music, since they are the guys, you saw playing at Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, Nassau Coliseum and the countless other venues during those Billy Joel concerts of the 1970’s and 1980’s!

The band led by Richie Cannata on tenor saxophone, Liberty DeVitto on drums and percussion, and Russell Javors on rhythm guitar. Their collaboration helped change the face of music. They have worked individually with multi-platinum artists, lending their talents to some of the greatest musicians in the world. After 30+ years the band has finally reunited and haven’t missed a step with this mind-blowing show. Critics love them, and their performances have been blowing away fans of all ages. Fans declare that The Lords’ live performances sound just like the original recordings with Billy Joel, if not better. The Lords of 52nd Street perform regularly for live audiences in public and private events and continue to awe fans from around the world.

7:00 pm: Spyro Gyra

You might think that Spyro Gyra’s leader and saxophonist Jay Beckenstein might welcome a break in its 45+ years of non-stop, year-round performances. After all, much of his adult life has been centered around the recording and performing activities of this now legendary group. Renowned bass player Will Lee once referred to the ensemble as a “well-oiled road machine” as a tribute to their daunting schedule, bringing their music to fans around the globe.

Fans of the band are familiar with the group’s rise to international prominence from humble beginnings in Buffalo, New York. That’s when a few area working musicians arranged for a weekly gig of playing less commercial music in a local club on everyone’s night off. Fast forward to the band having logged over 10,000 shows on six continents, having released 35 albums garnering platinum and gold records along the way and here they are, once again looking forward.

Speaking of his long time collaborator keyboardist Tom Schuman, Beckenstein describes him as “the most underestimated musician I have ever known. The guy is a musical genius.” Prompted to capsulize the rest of this musical family, guitarist Julio Fernandez is “Mr. Esprit”, the guy who brings spirit to the band, the guy who imbues just about every note he plays with pure emotion. “When he plays, I really feel it”.  Bassist Scott Ambush is “an amazing musician and technician. He is the person in the band who is always encouraging us to push the envelope.” Drummer Lionel Cordew “is the engine that always works. Lionel is the backbone of the band as we all rely on him providing us rock solid structure for us to play on.”

With respect to the long term future for a band with a 50th anniversary not too far off, Beckenstein says “As long as I can perform at a high-level, I would never think of retiring. But I can’t tell you what it would be like if I was to have to continue as a lesser version of myself. Thankfully, that hasn’t happened yet. So all I am thinking about right now is that I can’t wait to see the people again.”

Timeless in a way that few other acts today are, The Spinners are one of the most iconic and enduring groups in R&B history. With a towering legacy spanning over six decades, The Spinners have never lost their universal appeal.

The band both created and came to define the singularly smooth sound of Philadelphia Soul, channeling the highs and lows of romance and heartbreak into a catalog of classic hits, beloved across generations. Throughout the years the Spinners have topped both the Pop and R&B charts with smash singles like, “I’ll Be Around,” “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love,” “Then Came You,” “The Rubberband Man” and many more – earning six Grammy nominations, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and selling millions of records worldwide in the process.

7:00 pm: Tabled Event – The Doo Wop Project

The Doo Wop Project is a supergroup of Broadway stars who transform influential hits from the American pop songbook. Their concerts trace the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today.

The Doo Wop Project takes audiences on a journey from foundational tunes from groups like the Crests, The Belmonts, and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons, all the way to “DooWopified” versions of modern musicians like Jason Mraz and Garth Brooks.

Featuring stars of Broadway’s smash hits Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate — and in some cases entirely re-imagine — some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history.

Members of The Doo Wop Project are Charl Brown, Russel Fischer, John Michael Dias, Dwayne Cooper, Dominic Nolfi and Musical Director Santino Paladino.

The Doo Wop Project delivers an incredibly fun and fashionable spin on popular melodies from the Doo Wop era, moving audiences to reminisce and providing new generations the opportunity to discover the classic gold sounds of Frankie Valli, The Del Vikings and many more.
