These musicians appeared on the Bemus Bay Pops floating stage in 2013. I attended one of their concerts then immediately informed Dan and .. the rest is history!
In their spectacular mult-media show, The Hitmen not only pay the classic hits they helped rocket to the top of the Billboard charts, they also share fascinating insider back stories about their days on the road and in recording studios with music royalty.
From transistor radios, vinyl, eight-track tapes and cassette to the Sony Walkman, CDs, digital downloads and the Apple iPod, The Hitmen have seen and heard it all. And they have the stories to go with it! They play music's greatest hits the way you first heard them!
The Hitmen are: keyboardist and group founder, Lee Shapiro; lead guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Ryan; bassist/vocalist Jeff Ganz; keyboardist, percussionist & vocalist Russ Velazquez and drummer/vocalist, Steve Murphy.

You may not know their names, but you went to their concerts, heard them on the radio, watched them on TV and bought their records. They have appeared on over eighty five albums, won multiple gold and platinum recording awards and Emmy awards.

These men are the musicians who made and played the soundtrack of your life! The Hitmen not only played the music, they lived the music!
Be Safe.
