New City, NY – A Memorial park was set up in the middle of town to honor former firefighter Kevin Landau, who was killed in a structure fire, 1975.

Kevin Landau Park is an attractive arrival gateway to the New City hamlet and a new, exciting community gathering space. The space is centered around a custom designed fountain and gazebo which provides a unique setting for visitors to enjoy park activities. Seating areas along meandering paths provide places for quiet enjoyment of the park’s lawns and landscaped beds. The east end entry creates a setting for display and interpretive signage of an historic fire bell from the adjacent New City Fire House. This updates and enhances an existing park dedicated to the memory of a member of the New City Fire Engine Company.

Larry Stevens, front man and lead singer of The Larry Stevens Band, has spent the better portion of his life on stage. Through dynamic, energetic performances and a gift for connecting with his audiences, Stevens has found himself on stage at many of the most sought-after venues from the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to The Bitter End, Kenny’s Castaways, and The Iridium in New York City. He is frequently seen at noteworthy venues across New York and New Jersey including the PNC Bank Arts Center, Giants (MetLife) Stadium, New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), Bergen Performing Arts Center, Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, Tarrytown Music Hall, Surflight Theatre, and the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning. Stevens has enjoyed sharing the stage with many top national acts including Kenny Loggins, Huey Lewis and the News, Gin Blossoms, America, The Doobie Brothers, The Yardbirds, Blood Sweat and Tears, Todd Rundgren, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, and many others. Critics have compared the quality of his original melodies to those of Jack Johnson, Plain White T’s and the Beatles.
