Nassau County 'takes it easy' with Don Felder

Posted

Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder rocked Eisenhower Park’s Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre last month as part of the Nassau County’s summer concert series.

Felder was a proud, longstanding member of the group, which was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. He was also inaugurated into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville in 206, and the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2017. Felder spent 27 years with the Eagles, who have sold 150 million albums worldwide — including a top-selling album of all time, their “Greatest Hits.”

Felder is known for his time with the Eagles, and for some of his solo work — including “Heavy Metal (Takin’ a Ride),” which was released in 1981.

At Eisenhower, Felder entertained a packed crowds by playing some of the Eagles’ best known hits, and a blend of his own songs as well.

The summer concert series will come to a close on Sept. 20, and the last multicultural evening will take place on Sept. 29. For more on what to expect throughout the remainder of the month, visit NassauCountyNY.gov.
