COMING ATTRACTIONS

Jay Black &The Americans

"The Voice," as he is known to his fans, performs with The Americans, Saturday, Mar. 20, 8 p.m.,
at Westbury Music Fair.
Jay Black & The Americans remain a popular rock 'n roll attraction in the New York area. Over the years they have charted 21 singles, while continuing as a major force on the pop music scene for over three decades.
Concert-goers will hear the still golden voice perform "This Magic Moment" and "Cara Mia," along with many other hits. Other favorites, such as "Come A Little Bit Closer," "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Walkin' In The Rain" are but a few of the vast repertoire Jay Black performs for his audiences.
In addition to singing, Jay Black also entertains fans with his sense of humor, part of his dynamic stage presence.
Jay Black joined Jay & The Americans in 1962 when Jay Traynor, the lead singer of their first hit, "She Cried," left the group. The rest, as they say, is history.
Tickets are $45 and available through Ticketmaster at (631) 888-9000 and online at cc.com and musicfair.com.
