Greg Billings 70th Birthday & 50 Years of Music Celebration
The Bilheimer Capitol Theatre welcomes back Greg Billings, one of Florida’s most celebrated rock vocalists, for an evening packed with fan favorites to celebrate his 70th Birthday & 50 Years of Music!
Greg Billings and The Stay Up Lates represent the latest chapter in a musical legacy that began with the popular Florida band Stranger, formerly known as Romeo, which built a devoted following throughout the Southeast with its energetic live shows and original music. As Stranger’s lead vocalist and an original member, Billings became known for his powerful voice, charismatic stage presence, and ability to connect with audiences. During the band's 16-year run, they released multiple recordings and produced fan-favorite songs such as Swamp Woman, Okeechobee Whiskey, and Wrong Side of the Tracks. After leaving Stranger in 1996, Billings co-founded Damn the Torpedoes before launching The Greg Billings Band in 2003, featuring a lineup of accomplished musicians and notable guest artists including Robin Zander, Brian Johnson, and Donald “Duck” Dunn. The Greg Billings Band enjoyed a successful concert and festival career, releasing several albums before retiring in 2022 following a sold-out performance at Ruth Eckerd Hall. In 2024, Billings returned with The Stay Up Lates, joined by Kyle Ashley, George Harris, Tom Perry, and Mark Busto, continuing his celebrated career with a diverse and crowd-pleasing repertoire.
