Mangano To Host Free Billy Joel Cover Band Concert On July 3rd

Mike DelGuidice and Big Shot to Perform at Eisenhower Park

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced that Mike DelGuidice & Big Shot will be performing at Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre at Eisenhower Park on Wednesday, July 3rd. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Most known for their recreation of Billy Joel songs, Michael DelGuidice & Big Shot are one of the best live rock bands performing today. In addition to performing numerous uncanny renditions of Billy Joel’s music, concertgoers will also be treated to recreations of songs by Paul McCartney, Elton John, The Beatles, Journey, and Chicago. Patrons will be thoroughly entertained by the band that Billy Joel himself has said that when he hears them, he has “a hard time believing it isn’t me.”

Much of the programming at the Lakeside Theatre is made possible through the Nassau County Hotel/Motel Proceeds Grant, which are proceeds from taxes on hotel and motel rooms in Nassau County. Since 2006, Nassau County has received more than ten million dollars from the Hotel/Motel Proceeds Grant, which also has assisted in historic building restoration and other cultural enhancements.

The Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre is conveniently located near parking fields 6 and 6A in Eisenhower Park. Since Lakeside Theatre is a venue with no formal seating, concertgoers are urged to bring folding chairs or blankets. Special accommodations are available for disabled patrons, including reserved parking, easily accessible restrooms, and a convenient reserved location on the hill. Assistive hearing devices are also available for the hearing impaired upon request.
