Rock is returning to Roslyn this summer with dozens of shows lined up for the return of My Father’s Place and owner Michael “Eppy” Epstein.
The music begins at the Roslyn Hotel on June 29 with Buster Poindexter, a Staten Island native who performs a combination of jazz, lounge, calypso and novelty songs and scored his first hit with “Hot Hot Hot.”
The summer shows continue with Livingston Taylor, an already sold-out show featuring special guests Chris Kinnear and Andy Aledort, on June 30 and Roomful of Blues July 1.
July 4 will be sandwiched by blues this year, with Long Island’s Blue Velvo performing original blues, roots and rock songs on July 3 with Ray Lambiase and the Tin Kickers and Blue Race on July 5 with Jeanna Lewis.
