American Pop was created in Las Vegas by two transplanted “Yonkers boys” Chuck St. Troy and Herman Eng; they wanted to bring the sounds of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, the sounds we loved and miss, back to life. The act was highly successful, so Chuck decided to bring to his hometowns the magic of those exciting years in our musical history. He contacted seasoned professional musicians he had performed with in the past, and carefully put together an exciting program. The group decided to expand, and brought amazing vocalist performer Sheila Galilei into the group, incorporating her fantastic Tina Turner-Motown tribute into the program. Besides the remarkable talents of Ms. Galilei, other members of the group are: Chuck St. Troy, vocals, sax, bass; Rick Agosta, guitar and vocals; Mike Nunz, drums, percussion and vocals; and Ed Sabol, bass and vocals.
This definitely will be another “don’t miss” Untermyer Performing Arts Council World Fest 2020 evening under the stars! The Untermyer Performing Arts Council is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to continuing the tradition of Minnie and Samuel Untermyer, bringing musical entertainment to our treasure of a park and the people of Yonkers.
