The Outlaws

On April 9, Southern Rock legends The Outlaws return for a very special live performance celebrating their groundbreaking debut album—performed in its entirety, plus a powerhouse set of fan-favorite hits. For more than four decades, The Outlaws have stood as one of the most influential and enduring bands of the genre, defined by their signature triple-guitar attack, soaring three-part harmonies, and an unwavering commitment to the music. This concert is both a celebration of where it all began and a statement of where the band stands today: proud, vital, and still blazing their own trail. Formed in Tampa in 1972, The Outlaws were among the first acts signed to Arista Records, earning their place in rock history with classic albums The Outlaws, Lady in Waiting, and Hurry Sundown. Songs like “There Goes Another Love Song,” “Green Grass & High Tides,” “Knoxville Girl,” and “Freeborn Man” became Southern Rock anthems, while their electrifying live shows—alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band, and others—earned them the nickname “The Florida Guitar Army.” After years of upheaval and loss, founding member Henry Paul reclaimed leadership of the band in 2008, steering The Outlaws back to their roots while honoring the legacy that fans hold dear. Today’s Outlaws burn hotter than ever. Hailed by fans as “Southern Rock’s Last Band Standing,” the band delivers epic, high-energy performances that unite classic material with acclaimed later releases like It’s About Pride and Dixie Highway. This April 9 concert promises a rare, immersive experience—revisiting the album that launched a movement, powered by the same grit, harmony, and guitar fire that made The Outlaws legends in the first place. For The Outlaws, it’s still about the music. And now more than ever, it’s about pride. *As a reminder, no outside food or drink permitted in the venue.

Reverend Horton Heat with special guests Black Joe Lewis and Pinata Protest

Get ready for a high-octane night of psychobilly fire as Reverend Horton Heat brings his unmistakable brand of country-blues-rock revival to the Paramount Hudson Valley stage. Led by Jim Heath—described as a revelator and a “time-travelling space-cowboy on an endless interstellar musical tour”—the Reverend Horton Heat live experience is nothing short of transformative. Fans can expect flames flying off guitars, primal rock-and-roll energy, and a show that feels like being dropped into a futuristic 1950s teen-exploitation film. With Jimbo Wallace incinerating the stand-up bass and the Rev channeling icons from Screamin’ Jay Hawkins to Buddy Holly, their music injects “pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart,” powering through legendary tracks ranging from “Big Sky” to “400 Bucks” to “Psychobilly Freakout.” After twenty-five years of blazing a mythic trail across the globe, this band continues to rock harder, drive faster, and live truer than anyone else on the planet. Joining the bill is Black Joe Lewis, a stone-cold original whose gut-bucket blues guitar and raw, powerful voice have made him one of the last true torchbearers of the garage-soul explosion. Having weathered the highs and lows of the industry—from national acclaim to pouring concrete during COVID to support his family—Joe has only sharpened his sound and deepened his authenticity. His live performances land in the explosive spaces once occupied by James Brown, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the MC5, honed over years of sharing the stage with icons such as Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley, Cedric Burnside, and The Dirtbombs. Joe isn’t chasing trends—he plays for the “intrepid, degenerate weirdos” who truly get it, bringing a voice and presence that could only happen in the live moment. Opening the night is the San Antonio-born Piñata Protest, an accordion-powered Tex-Mex punk rock force known for fusing the lively rhythms of the Mexican button accordion with high-energy punk attitude. Founded by singer-accordionist Álvaro Del Norte, the band ignites crowds to mosh, skank, and spin with their bilingual, genre-bending sound. With over a decade of touring across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico—including past bills with Reverend Horton Heat—they’ve earned acclaim for their electrifying performances, festival appearances, and chart success with their album El Valiente, which debuted at #7 on the Latin Billboard Top 100. *As a reminder, no outside food or drink permitted in the venue.

Then get ready—That Motown Band is bringing the timeless magic of Motown to the Paramount on April 12! This powerhouse ensemble of vocalists and musicians has spent years wowing audiences with pitch-perfect performances and the unmistakable groove that defined a generation. Joining That Motown Band is Garfield Fleming, a soul-singing powerhouse and former member of The Delfonics for 25 years alongside William Hart. With a striking resemblance to David Ruffin—and a voice that evokes Ruffin, Bobby Womack, and other legends—Garfield has a way of transporting listeners back in time. His 1981 solo single “Please Don’t Send Me Away” remains a global favorite and continues to garner fans around the world. The band’s musical director, Tom Schizzano, is a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, vocalist, and seasoned producer whose work has appeared on CBS/Paramount, Disney, PBS, and NBC/Universal. Tom has performed live with Hall & Oates, Cyndi Lauper, Lou Christie, and Paul Shaffer, and has produced and arranged music for artists like The Tokens and Jimmy Clanton. He has also scored multiple independent films and continues to create from his Hauppauge, NY production studio. Don’t miss this unforgettable day celebrating the sound that shaped American music—Motown comes to Peekskill on April 12! *As a reminder, no outside food or drink permitted in the venue.
