The Smithereens with Special Guest Vocalist Robin Wilson of The Gin Blossoms is coming to Peekskill! Founded in New Jersey in 1980, The Smithereens have been creating electrifying, original rock’n’roll for 39 years. Jim Babjak (guitar,) Dennis Diken (drums,) and Mike Mesaros (bass) grew up together in Carteret and lead singer, the late Pat DiNizio, hailed from Scotch Plains. The band paid its dues in clubs all over the NYC tri-state area from Kenny’s Castaways in Greenwich Village to the Court Tavern and Stone Pony in NJ. As The Smithereens’ fame escalated, they were in heavy rotation on MTV and appeared on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, and Saturday Night Live. They’ve since performed on stages coast to coast from the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles to the Meadowlands Arena in NJ to Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, and internationally from Europe to Australia. Tour mates have included Tom Petty, Squeeze, The Pretenders, Lou Reed, and Ramones, among others. The Smithereens’ take no prisoners sound, reflecting their Garden State roots, has resonated with fans worldwide over the course of 17 albums and 2500+ live shows. Their most recent release, COVERS, features 22 of the bands favorite songs first recorded by other artists. They’ve also inspired generations of musicians, including Kurt Cobain, who counted The Smithereens as a major influence on Nirvana. And with the 2017 passing of Pat DiNizio, the surviving members have decided to persevere and carry on their shared musical legacy. Using guest vocalists including Robin Wilson of the Gin Blossoms and Marshall Crenshaw, they continue to entertain and rock fans all over the U.S. and the world! Get your tickets now!

Spin Magazine– “The Most Powerful All-Female Band in Rock History.” Founded in 2004 by New York guitarist Steph Paynes the All-Girl Quartet Lez Zeppelin has since gained unanimous critical acclaim as one of the most exciting live acts around becoming the first female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin! In 2013 Jimmy Page attended their show in London and said of the group “They played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.” They have been featured on major television including The BBC CNN ABC CBS MTV VH-1 and Fox! The group’s first studio album Lez Zeppelin was produced by legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix). Since Lez Zeppelin’s formation the group has broken both glass and ceilings. Whether it’s playing on catwalk above Times Square for 40 000 or on the Main Stage at Bonnaroo Hellfest and The Isle of Wight flying to India for a benefit concert for ambulances or taking the stage- TWICE– at Madison Square Garden it’s clear that the unique power personality and magical force of Lez Zeppelin is far beyond that of a “Tribute” Act.
