This Saturday at Shea Center: Lords of 52nd Street - Legends of the Billy Joel Band

Lords of 52nd Street - Legends of the Billy Joel band featuring saxophonist Richie Cannata, drummer Liberty DeVitto and guitarist Russell Javors.

In 1975 when Billy Joel was looking for a new band, these musicians were selected by Billy Joel and Phil Ramone to record and tour the album Turnstiles and were coined The Lords of 52nd Street. They also recorded the album The Stranger which was a commercial success, it holds a RIAA diamond certification (10x platinum), and several #1 singles including, “Only The Good Die Young” and “Just The Way You Are.” The Lords of 52nd Street helped Joel establish a popular music career and his formidable sound.   Joel and The Lords of 52nd Street returned to the studio, and recorded Grammy award winning albums including, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, and The Nylon Curtain. The band recorded and toured with Joel for over a decade. They are everyone's favorite band, and they continue to perform their legendary hits still to this day.

Celebrating Shea Center's 60th anniversary, Billy Joel performed at William Paterson University on May 3, 1977, with the same musicians who will take the stage on Saturday night. The Lords of 52nd Street continue to play their legendary hits with the same energy and vigor as they did back then.

🍺 Bar service, including beer, wine, and hard seltzer, will be available for purchase during the show. 🍷
