originally published: 07/01/2020


(MORRISTOWN, NJ) -- After two sold-out shows at Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC), The Hit Men are back with an exclusive digital concert special. This hour-long program was created for PBS station WFSU in Tallahassee, and is available exclusively by rental to MPAC patrons. Each rental costs $12, and will be available for viewing until July 12th. Proceeds are split 50/50 with MPAC and the artists!

This dynamic “rockumentary” features concert footage from a sold out March 2020 performance at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Fort Myers, Florida,  interspersed with interviews with the five members of this brilliant group who have recorded and/or performed with some of the biggest names in rock history including Foreigner, Journey, Toto, The Who, The Rascals, Three Dog Night, Frankie Valli and more.

The Hit Men are: keyboardist and group founder Lee Shapiro, lead guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Ryan, bassist/vocalist Jeff Ganz, keyboardist, percussionist & vocalist Russ Velazquez and drummer and 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, Emmy nominations, Telly Awards, Clio Awards and more, including the first-ever Road Warriors Award from the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum.
