BILLY AND THE SHOWMAN

TO PERFORM IN THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT CONCERT SERIES

The Department of Parks and Recreation announces Billy and the Showman will be performing in the Dept. of Parks and Recreation Wednesday Night Concert Series. The Greenwich Police Silver Shield will sponsor this concert. It will take place at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park on Wednesday, July 15, 2009.

Established over thirty years ago, Billy and the Showmen have earned a reputation as one of Connecticut's best and most enduring Rhythm & Blues bands. Its members have played with such artists as Billy Vera, the Chiffons, Bo Diddley, and Jackie Wilson in venues as diverse as Madison Square Garden, the Village Vanguard, the Village Gate, and the Bottom Line.

Billy & the Showmen specialize in hard-driving R&B, Soul, and Funk from the '60's and 70's. The band's repertoire includes the best of Blood, Sweat, & Tears, Tower of Power, Cool & the Gang, and classic Motown artists such as the Temptations.

Now is your chance to listen to Billy and the Showmen right in your own backyard in Greenwich. Bring a picnic dinner, a blanket and come join us for some wonderful music under the stars. If it rains the concert will be held on Thursday July 16, 2009.

Roger Sherman Baldwin Park is located on Arch Street by the Teen Center, and Island Beach Ferry Dock.

Some of the other upcoming Wednesday Night Concerts are: Steve D’Agostino, July 22, playing the best of Sinatra, and Martin, Gunsmoke, July 30, playing country music, and The Bearcats August 5, playing Jazz.
