The Lords of 52nd Street Play Free Show at Hialeah Park April 1st

“Billy Joel’s Original Hitmakers” Will Take Stage in First “Garden Show” at Iconic Venue
Hialeah, FL – March 8, 2017 – Earning a well-deserved reputation as “Billy Joel’s hitmakers,” The Lords of 52nd Street toured and recorded with the legendary “Piano Man” for over a decade and played a major role in the worldwide success of Billy Joel’s formidable sound.

After a long separation, The Lords of 52nd Street reunited several years ago and are once again bringing the music they played in famous venues like Wembley Stadium, Royal Albert Hall, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, and Budokan, to audiences across America.

The Lords of 52nd Street will give music fans in the Miami area an “up close and personal” experience when they perform on the Paddock Garden stage at Hialeah Park Racing & Casino on Saturday April 1. The free concert, scheduled for a 9 PM start, will be the first “garden show” at this iconic South Florida venue and attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets to the festival-style event.

Billy Joel and The Lords of 52nd Street enjoyed worldwide acclaim in the late 1970s and early 1980s, recording Grammy award winning albums such as 52nd Street (1978), Glass Houses (1980), and The Nylon Curtain (1982).

After being inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2014, The Lords of 52nd Street returned to the stage together and haven’t looked back since then. The band played in front of a sellout crowd at The Space at Westbury in New York in February 2016 and returned there for a similar performance earlier this year.

Critics have praised the band and their shows have awed music lovers of all ages. For more information, visit www.HialeahPark.com or call 305.885.8000.
