Tommy James and the Shondells at Palace Theatre Stamford, Nov. 21
A 1964 demo of “Hanky Panky” did not become an immediate hit. Its fortunes changed the next year, when a local dance promoter brought the song to wider attention—a fitting starting point for a concert rooted in Tommy James and the Shondells’ long-running catalogue.
A song’s second life
Tommy James recorded the “Hanky Panky” demo under the name The Shondells in 1964. According to Ticketmaster’s artist biography, a local dance promoter later uncovered the song, helping it find an audience in 1965. The group’s debut album followed in 1966, with seven more successful albums after that.
The same biography credits Tommy James and the Shondells with 12 Top 40 hits and points to “Crimson and Clover” as another chart-topping success. James’s official site describes him as a singer-songwriter and producer whose rise to prominence came in the 1960s and ’70s; it also identifies “Draggin’ the Line” alongside “Crimson and Clover” among his best-known songs.

A catalogue, not a Stamford playlist
Ticketmaster’s artist page displays setlist records from five other concerts between May and August 2026. “Draggin’ the Line,” “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” “Crimson & Clover” and “Hanky Panky” recur in those records. The page also shows some variation: Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line” appears in three, while Roger Miller’s “Please Pull the Twine” appears in two; four records mark an acoustic version of “I Think We’re Alone Now.”
These are records of performances elsewhere, not a preview of the Stamford show. They offer a sense of the range represented in the act’s catalogue, but the local event listing does not publish song titles.
