Allentown — Lake Lansing Bandshell summer concert series opening night

The Lake Lansing Bandshell will open its 2026 summer concert series with a performance by the Detroit-based Billy Joel tribute band Allentown, which was founded by drummer and bandleader Todd Stoney, a Lansing native, and comprises veteran musicians from both sides of the Gordie Howe Bridge.

The show will have a white-out theme, with the band members dressing in all-white apparel and lead vocalist/pianist Mark Calcott debuting a brand new — and hopefully still unscuffed — white piano shell.

All six of the group members also perform with vocalist Dave Trojan as the Bob Seger tribute band Lookin’ Back. Trojan is expected to take a quick turn at the mic with Allentown to give audiences a taste of the Seger group, which has performed alongside original Silver Bullet Band members Alto Reed and Charlie Martin on four separate occasions.
