However, truly, it seems, perhaps not a lot, as a result of once they come collectively as THE NEW BELTERS, a particular sort of vitality drive varieties and it’s paying homage to, say, Martin & Lewis (Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis). Their musical tastes embrace one another and so they could also be one of the vital affable pairings in fairly a while. With good banter, wonderful musicianship and a complete lot of “showbiz” they rating over and over and over. I received’t spoil the musical decisions, both as solos or duets, however the crowd on the completely bought out GreenRoom 42 loved them final evening as we had been taken on a carefree experience, figuring out we had been in succesful {and professional} fingers, and not using a fear on the earth. The fellas have had totally different musical administrators on the piano as they journey and do their reveals, however there isn’t a query that having Billy Stritch anchor you on the 88s is a big and welcome PLUS.
