Steve Gaspár is the Grammy-nominated songwriter, former Epic/CBS recording artist, and keyboardist for James Brown, B.B. King, Gene Cornish (the Rascals) and

The Hollywood Allstars feature vocalist Tommy Bowes, who for seven years sang with the Tower of Power. Bowes is known for his high range, powerful voice, and
unique versatility, which is featured front and center on TOP’s 1991 Epic Records debut, Monster on a Leash.

Also sharing the vocal duties is Tiffany T’zelle, former Qwest Records recording artist, who has toured the world with a number of notable names including Diana Ross, Tevin Campbell and Syleena Johnson. The band also includes The Uptown Horns. Playing with the Rolling Stones on the Steel Wheels tour, Keith Richards personally praised them as being the “only horn section up for the job,” before they went on to work with Joe Cocker, the J. Geils Band, and providing the horns on James Brown’s Grammy Award-winning Single, “Living in America.”

Scott Spray, bassist for Johnny Winter and the Edgar Winter Group, has played on more than 800 albums and will be providing ample bottom for the evening. 
Native New YorkerTony Cintron will be laying down the groove on drums. A tour with Joe Bonamassa placed Cintron on stages with the Derrick Trucks Band, the Doobie Brothers, Dr. John and storied vocalist Roberta Flack at Carnegie Hall.

Making a return appearance to the Hollywood Allstar stage will be guitarist Andy Abel, who in addition to having played with Blood Sweat & Tears, and the Talking Heads, served as co-producer with Steve Gaspár on “Field of Grace.” Also holding down the bottom for the Hollywood Allstars is another native New Yorker, percussionist Eddie Torres. Torres, best known for playing with the late Vicki Sue Robinson, will be demonstrating his ability to get the fans up and dancing in the aisles. Rounding out the lineup are background vocalists Melanie Bennett and Billy Genuario.

The Hollywood All-Stars will be appearing on May 12 at the Suffolk Theater, 118 E. Main St., Riverhead. For more information, visit www.suffolktheater.com or call 631-627-4343.
