NEIL SEDAKA
The history of Rock ‘n’ Roll would be incomplete without the
innumerable contributions of Neil Sedaka. For over fifty years, Neil
has written, performed, produced, and inspired countless songs, and
his canon of compositions will continue to stand the test of time.
Sedaka recorded chart toppers "Laughter in the Rain," "Love Will Keep
Us Together," "Oh! Carol," "Stairway to Heaven," "Calendar Girl," "Happy
Birthday Sweet Sixteen," "Next Door To An Angel," and "Breaking Up Is
Hard To Do."

STEVE MARCH TORME
A Tribute to the Life and Music of Mel Tormé
Totally Tormé is a son’s remarkable homage to his legendary father,
Mel Tormé. This performance features classic music beloved by Mel’s
fans, including "Lulu’s Back In Town," "Lover Come Back to Me," "The
Way You Look Tonight," and Mel’s own "Born to be Blue." Interspersed
with engaging stories, this lively and loving tribute is thoroughly
entertaining from the first measure to the last note. Bill Harris, Don
Harris, Wally Barrett, Tim Herman, and Joe Meo, members of the
Billy and the Showmen Band will be joining Mr. Torme, adding
some "local" flavor.

BOWZER’S ROCK ‘N‘ ROLL PARTY
Don’t miss Bowzer’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Party starring Kenny Vance & The
Planotones, Bowzer & The Stingrays, Rocky & The Rollers and special
guest Lynn DiMenna. Jon Bauman’s portrayal of Bowzer, leader of
Sha Na Na for fourteen years, was so convincing that the casual
observer was certain this hilarious, gangly greaser actually stalked the
streets of Brooklyn when he wasn’t appearing with the group. Bowzer
has resurfaced as one of the most multi-dimensional performers in
show business today, with his Rock ‘n Roll Party. Joining Bowzer will
be over fifty antique cars from the fifties and sixties exhibited around
the park courtesy of the Gateway Antique Auto Club of Stamford.
