Kenny Vance and The Planotones Play the Parker Playhouse 8/27

Kenny Vance and the Planotones will perform at the Parker Playhouse on Saturday, August 27 at 8 PM. Tickets cost between $30.50 and $50.50.

Audiences are invited to get up close and personal in An Evening with Kenny Vance and The Planotones as they open up their 'basement' rehearsal studio for an intimate evening of song and stories spanning Vance's illustrious 50-year career and the music that has been its unique soundtrack including "Looking For An Echo," "Cara Mia," "She Cried," "Only In America" and more.

It is a story only Kenny Vance and The Planotones can tell with a historical perspective framed by a multi-faceted career that began on the Brooklyn street corners and rose through Jay and The Americans, The Brill Building, Vance's stint as musical director on Saturday Night Live, and numerous film-driven classics such as Eddie and The Cruisers, Hairspray and the movie in which The Planotones were born, American Hot Wax. This memorable experience includes an interactive audience Q&A session.
