Jay and the Americans - 3 pm

Iconic 60s Vocal Group

A Jay and The Americans show is a backstage pass for the audience to their musical history with the stories of how who and when these hits were created. Throw in singing and talking about other significant artists that influenced them (eg Roy Orbison and Neil Diamond) & talking about having a hand at starting the careers of Steely Dan and Joan Jett. All tied to some amusing and funny banter between the group. Throw in all 12 of their top 20 records and it’s a party you shouldn’t miss. 
Jay and the Americans, one of the most iconic vocal groups of the 1960s, continue to captivate audiences with their timeless harmonies and classic hits. Led by the dynamic vocals of Jay Reincke, whose powerful voice breathes new life into the group’s legendary repertoire, the band also features founding members Sandy Deanne and Marty Sanders. Sandy, an accomplished producer and music visionary, and Marty, a masterful songwriter and guitarist, have been integral in shaping the band's sound, both on stage and behind the scenes. With the addition of versatile singer and performer Darren Dowler, former lead vocalist of Paul Revere and the Raiders, the group blends their rich legacy with a fresh, modern edge. Completing the lineup is vocalist and bassist Lenie Colacino, who brings decades of professional experience across music, stage and studio work to the group’s evolving sound. Together, they continue to bring the past to life with electrifying performances that keep the legacy of Jay and the Americans thriving for a new generation of fans.
