The Hit Men to Perform in NYC, The Hamptons & Las Vegas This Summer

This summer in New York City (in Queens on July 18), Las Vegas (on July 25), The Hamptons (two shows on September 6, Labor Day Weekend), and across the U.S., music lovers of all ages can experience an incredible and nostalgic live concert performance from THE HIT MEN, a brotherhood of five musicians who've worked in the studio and on tour with some of the biggest musical names in the business: Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Carly Simon, Jim Croce, Elton John, Barry Manilow, Carole King, Tommy James & The Shondells, Cat Stevens, Sting, Paul McCartney and many more. After decades performing with these mega-stars, they have become stars in their own right, selling out concert venues around the country...two of THE HIT MEN are former members of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, another was lead guitarist with Carly Simon for 21 years, and another is a 4-time Emmy-nominated composer. The group also has a new album coming out this fall, "We Were There".

THE HIT MEN have upcoming concerts on July 18 at 8pm in NYC/Queens at Resorts World Casino ($20-$30); in Las Vegas on July 25 at the Cannery Casino at 8pm ($31 on Ticketmaster.com); and two shows on Sunday, September 6 at 7pm & 9:30pm at Guild Hall in East Hampton ($40-$75).

The Four Seasons classic "Dec. 63 (Oh What a Night)" stars THE HIT MEN member Gerry Polci on lead vocal (Gerry was the only Four Season to ever sing lead on a Four Seasons hit besides Frankie Valli). Four years ago, Gerry and former Four Seasons co-star Lee Shapiro, along with three other talented musicians, formed THE HIT MEN, whose members are: Lee Shapiro (musical director & member of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons), Gerry Polci (drummer/member of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons), Jimmy Ryan (founder of The Critters, lead guitarist with Carly Simon for 21 years; worked with Cat Stevens, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger), Larry Gates (Carole King, Phoebe Snow), and Russ Velazquez (4-time Emmy-nominated composer; worked with Sting, Carole King, The Ramones, LL Cool J).

From backstage stories never told until today, to classic songs we all know & love (like Four Seasons favorites like "Oh What a Night", "Who Loves You", "Sherry", and other hits like "Hanky Panky", "Mony Mony", "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" and "Peace Train"), a HIT MEN show is like no other as they combine the music & the memories alongside exciting multimedia footage & visuals, evoking an unforgettable and nostalgic experience.
