2024


Billy and the Showmen at Pierson Park in Tarrytown, NY
Tuesday Evening on the Hudson
August 29, 2024


A great review from one of our favorite local papers !
August 23, 2023
On Saturday night one of the Levitt Pavilion's crowd favorites, Billy & The Showmen brought their own brand of hard-driving R&B, Soul, and Funk
from the '60's and '70's to the Levitt stage  and brought the audience to the new astroturf "dance floor", giving it quite a workout.

 

 

 

The 9 piece band, includes a 4 piece brass section which gives them the ability to play tunes by such greats
asTower Of Power includingTOP's best-selling "What Is Hip?" one of their many crowd-pleasers
.

 

Shelly Kahan, president of Interstate & Lakeland lumber introduced the band, with whom he has been friends for part of their more than 50 year career as a band. Mr. Kahan and Interstate & Lakeland Lumber, which recently opened their new Design Center at 800 Post Rd. East, Westport has been a major sponsor of the Levitt summer music series for several years
Interstate & Lakeland was hosting their customer appreciation event at the Levitt's terrace prior to the show.
