SIRSY

Thursday, June 29, 6:30 p.m.

SIRSY is a rock and soul duo with "lots of pop sensibility and just the right amount of sass." Close your eyes and listen to the power and heart in their music and you’ll swear there’s more than two people on stage. It’s crank up the volume, sing along at the top of your lungs music.

Both Mel and Rich have theater backgrounds. So their energetic live show often includes stories and laughter from the stage. Although the lyrics can be introspective and the power of Sirsy can get pretty intense, “there is no sadness there,” Mel said. On stage they radiate joy. “It’s just us being free and playing music."

Songs In The Attic

Thursday, June 29, 7:45 p.m.

Songs In The Attic is a musical tribute conceived and presented with a tremendous amount of detail and affection for the material of Billy Joel. Formed in 2011 by Long Island veteran singer/piano player David Clark, Songs In The Attic has performed for thousands of people at the Jones Beach Boardwalk bandshell, the Neconset Gazebo summer concert series, and numerous venues throughout the Northeast. With many incredible New York musicians, this show is a stunningly accurate recreation of the “Piano Man” himself.
