Brass Transit returns to the Lakeside Pavilion July 26.

Donnie Kehr returns to the Lakeside Pavilion for “The Greatest Piano Men,” Aug. 2. This electrifying production celebrates the world’s greatest pianists and showmen from Beethoven and Liberace to Elton John, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder. Featured performers include show creative director/producer Kehr, Greg Ransom, who has toured internationally performing Elton John’s hits, and Pete Peterkin, a 2009 finalist on “America’s Got Talent.” This concert is sponsored by Follett.
