Kevin Costner slotted to perform at Showcase Live

Who knew Kevin Costner could sing? The acclaimed director and actor, currently in town filming the downsizing drama "The Company Men" with Ben Affleck, is scheduled to perform with his band Modern West at 8 p.m. Thursday, May 7 at Showcase Live located at 23 Patriot Place in Foxboro.

"Four years ago, this band just started playing. We did not make an announcement or a big deal out of it," he says here, adding that the group plays originals and covers of songs the "Dances With Wolves" star digs. "We want to hold an audience with our own songs. Otherwise, we may as well play in our living rooms and not ask people to pay money to come hear us play."

As previously reported in Loaded Gun, Costner joins Affleck from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, May 4 until Wednesday, May 6 at the under-construction Hodgdon House located at 174 Highland Street in the Fort Hill section of Roxbury.

In "The Company Men," Costner plays a blue-collar construction worker who offers the recently downsized Affleck a job installing drywall.
