The Milford Performance Center is pleased to present Lords of 52nd Street – The Original Legends of the Billy Joel Band.
Friday, July 7th, Doors open at 7:00 PM, Private Meet & Greet at 7:30 PM & Showtime at 8:00 PM
The Lords of 52nd Street are Billy Joel’s original band… and they are coming to The Milford Performance Center! Billy gave the band their name back in the 70’s. 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. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE BAND!
The Lords of 52nd Street are the legendary band who recorded and toured the world for many years with the “Piano Man.” . These guys helped to create one of the most recognizable sounds in music recording the sax, drum and guitar solos on over 100 million albums sold with Billy Joel as well. They also performed all over the world for decades with Billy as well as their own personal careers.
The band is 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 havn’t missed a step, with this mind blowing show. Critics love them and their performances have been blowing away fans of all ages. Don’t miss them on Friday, July 7, at The Milford Performance Center. There is also a limited Meet & Greet before the show with only 30 tickets available on a first come first serve basis. All shows at MPC help multiple local Charities. This show helps Boys & Girls Club and Food 2 Kids. Please see a list, on the MPC website, of kid friendly foods to bring and help fill our donation box.
