Westbury Arts FREE Summer Concert Series: HITMAN BLUES BAND
Welcome to the **Westbury Arts FREE Summer Concert Series** featuring the **HITMAN BLUES BAND**! Join us on **Wed Jul 17 2024** at **7:00 PM** at the beautiful **Piazza Ernesto Strada** for a night of amazing music and good vibes.
Join neighbors and friends as we enjoy the melodies of New York City native Russell Alexander, the master guitarist, singer, and songwriter, and his Hitman Blues Band.
Russell worked as a freelancer 25 nights a month for years, flying all over the country and playing orchestral swing, country, jazz, rock, Hasidic music, Salsa, Greek, and more. Whenever a band got a request that they didn’t know, Russell did. “I got a nickname as the Hitman because I knew all the hits,” he said.
He could play anything professionally, but for fun, Russell played blues. When he showed up for jam sessions at the Chicago Blues Club wearing a tux and hat, the jam co-host would yell, “It’s Hitman Russ!” When Russell finally got a chance to build his dream project, it could only be called The Hitman Blues Band.
Parking is Free after 6:00 PM in the Westbury Village lots.
