Greenburgh and the world is mourning the passing of Wayne Lewis – a Greenburgh legend and founder of Atlantic Starr.

His gift was immense writing, producing, playing and entertaining and thrilling fans and audiences all over the world. He loved to spread love with the music he blessed us with.”

Atlantic Starr began in Greenburgh, New York with drummer Porter Carroll Jr., bassist Clifford Archer, percussionist, and flautist Joseph Phillips, and three brothers: David Lewis (vocals and guitar), Wayne Lewis (keyboards and vocals), and Jonathan Lewis (keyboards and trombone and William Sudderth III among others.
