Great South Bay Brewery
25 Drexel Drive, Bay Shore NY
Hitman is playing a solo show at the Great South Bay Brewery. This is a “family friendly” event, meaning parents bring little kids, they drink the excellent beer, the kids play and eat and drink (soft drinks or water or juices), and everyone has fun! It was incredible the last time, I had a bunch of toddlers dancing to “All The Young Dudes”! It was hysterical. Plus, I get to play songs I don’t usually do, which is LOT of fun – covers, some originals I don’t play with the Hitman Blues Band (due to time constraints), etc.

A New Album!
We’re already getting five star reviews for “Hey, Can You Guys Play…”
A collection of great cover songs from our previous albums, most done in the unique Hitman Blues Band style. Plus, a version of Kris Kristofferson’s classic “Sunday Morning Coming Down” that we guarantee you’ve never heard before anywhere!
This is a great introduction to our Modern Blues style, with unique interpretations of classic blues that remain true to the original spirit of the songs.

2023 Tours!
We’ll be playing in the UK TWO times in the summer of 2023. We’re doing a “block” of festivals from 20 – 23 July, then we’ll be back starting on 25 August through 10 September. See our gigs page for more information!
Here in the US, we’re still looking for representation so that we can tour (at the very least) the East Coast.
Stay Tuned!
