‘River of Dreams’ – Billy Joel tribute band, Avi Wisnia, to Benefit Rehabilitation of Pocono Wildlife at The Sherman Theater June 7

‘River of Dreams’ – Billy Joel tribute band, Avi Wisnia, to Benefit Rehabilitation of Pocono Wildlife at The Sherman Theater June 7.

The Sherman Theater is hosting a concert on the Summerstage, 648 Route 115 in Saylorsburg on Wednesday, June 7 at 7:00 PM which will raise funds to benefit the rehabilitation of Pocono wildlife.

Featured performers are the River of Dreams band, a tribute to Billy Joel with special guest Avi Wisnia.

For each ticket purchased in advance at ShermanTheater.com using the Promo Code WILDLIFE, the Theater will give back to the community and donate $5.00 to the cause.

“The Wilderz at Pocono Wildlife provides humane care for injured, orphaned and sick wildlife for the purpose of returning them to the wild.  In addition, we provide education and information to the public about wild natural resources in the Poconos and we depend on donations to continue our work,” said Executive Director Susan Downing.

At the concert, River Of Dreams will faithfully recreate the sound and the feel of Billy Joel’s classic songs. This experience brings Billy Joel’s music to life performing such standards as:

• You May Be Right
• Allentown
• Captain Jack
• New York State of Mind
• Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
• We Didn’t Start The Fire
• Only The Good Die Young
• It’s Still Rock & Roll To Me

…and many, many more.

When a live band can get people to dance and sing along AND raise funds for Pocono wildlife, it is sure to be a magical evening.

The gates open at 6:15 and the show starts with the music of Avi Wisnia.

Wisnia is an award-winning singer/songwriter, finding inspiration in 1950’s west-coast jazz, acoustic American folk, Brazilian bossa nova, and contemporary piano pop. His clever lyrics give a knowing nod to his contemporaries, while his smooth vocals and deft piano skills assure you that this is truly something new.

“This is a perfect opportunity for folks to come out and celebrate community with friends and family.

Listen to great music, raise some funds to support The Wilderz at Pocono Wildlife, and enjoy a summer evening together,”

Sherman Theater President and CEO Rich Berkowitz
