The Bellmore Memorial Library lawn became the center of the community on Sept. 5 as DOCK Holiday, a six-piece cover band, delivered a lively outdoor concert that blended funk, country, pop, rock and soul.
Known for their mission to provide “the best live music show you have ever seen,” DOCK Holiday brought that promise to life with a dynamic set list spanning decade of favorites. From the opening notes to the final encore, the band’s playful energy and polished sound kept the crowd swaying, clapping and singing along.
Among the many highlights, Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” had fans dancing on the grass, while Carrie Underwood’s powerhouse anthem “Before He Cheats” struck a chord with the crowd, drawing big cheers and singalongs. DOCK Holiday shifted gears effortlessly into Bryan Adams’ “Summer of ’69,” which filled the evening air with nostalgia and had neighbors belting out every word. Later, the group ignited a full-on dance party with Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk,” one of the biggest crowd-pleasers of the night.
The show was structured into themed blocks — from country and rock to soul, funk and party anthems — ensuring that every audience member heard something they loved. Each song was delivered with a mix of faithful musicianship and DOCK Holiday’s signature flair, showcasing the band’s ability to move seamlessly between styles while keeping the energy high.
And just when it seemed the night couldn’t get any bigger, DOCK Holiday invited the crowd to join them for one final singalong: Journey’s timeless classic, “Don’t Stop Believing’.” Voices rose together under the night sky as neighbors and friends swayed, laughed and sang in unison, closing out the evening on a note of pure community joy.
For Bellmore residents, the free concert was more than just live music — it was a summer celebration of connection and nostalgia. For DOCK Holiday, it was another chapter in a six-year run of performances that continue to build their ever-growing fan base across New York and beyond.
