Greg Billings Band Brings A Tom King Farewell Celebration To Capitol Theatre On October 13

The Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre presents Greg Billings Band Tom King Farewell Celebration on Friday, October 13 at 8 pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 18 at 10 am.

Greg Billings Band returns following their sold out November, 2021 show at Ruth Eckerd Hall. This very special one-time event celebrates bass player, Tom King Cardenas, founding member of Romeo and its successor bands, Stranger and The Greg Billings Band. Tom is retiring as a performing musician and moving to Georgia.

Greg Billings and Tom King were original members of Stranger and have played music together for 40 years. Greg's vocal range and ability were equally matched by his magnetic personality and his ability to make everyone in the audience feel like a friend. Always impeccably dressed, Tom King thumped a solid and thunderous foundation of bass guitar. Tom will be greatly missed by our music community.

Join us for an evening of all the Stranger and Greg Billings Band hits and help us celebrate Tom and all he means to us.
