Stealin’ Dan returns to DHPAC this Friday evening with the music of Steely Dan! Included in the group’s lineup of world-class musicians is Tower of Power vocalist Tom Bowes, guitarist Steve Briody, vocalist Cat da Silva, and an amazing horn section.
As Tom Bowes mentions on his site: “This is going to be a great show at an equally great venue… if you’re not hip to Stealin Dan then this is the place to be for your first experience… if you’re already a fan, then you already know what’s in store… See you all there”!
Friday, July 30th
Show starts at 7:30 pm.
Steve Mitchell as Elvis
Well, in real life, they didn’t perform together on stage, but they were friends. And, evidently, they sang duets in Elvis’s private suite. (Story at Wikipedia: here.)
You can see this dreamy line-up at DHPAC on August 1st: Elvis and Tom Jones in one, high-energy, afternoon show!
Here’s the press release:

Sitting on the loading dock at an electrical supply house where they worked in Memphis, the Burnett Brothers wouldn’t let the young truck driver join their doo wop singing because, well, he was a mere truck driver. That didn’t discourage
young Elvis Presley from cutting a record “That’s All Right Momma” at nearby Sun Records as a birthday present for his mother. Producer Sam Phillips heard the young man sing and the rest was history. Continue reading ‘Did Elvis and Tom Jones ever perform together?’

DHPAC Press Release, including a list of Rolling Stones songs, and the three phases of the band:
The Dix Hills Performing Arts Center
presents
Hits of the Rolling Stones
with
Streetfighter
Veterans of top original Long Island bands fuse a love of The Rolling Stones and outstanding musicianship to thrill audiences as can only one other band — the Stones themselves. The Dix Hills Performing Arts Center will present an evening of the Rolling Stones by Streetfighter, July 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25. Tickets at the door, or online: here.
Originally founded in 1978 as Long Island’s answer to the Broadway production of Beatlemania, Streetfighter was conceived to capture the music, spirit, and look of the world’s greatest rock and roll band, replete with period-correct clothing. The band plays songs from three distinctively major evolutions of Rolling Stones music, each with the same energy and style that made the originals so globally popular for so many years. The three phases they recreate are: Continue reading ‘Friday, July 23: Rolling Stone tribute at DHPAC’

You can get tickets at the door, by phone, or on-line: here. (If you can’t make it tonight, there is a show on Saturday night, and one on Sunday afternoon.)
I am going tonight with my hubby. He has been teasing me all week about us going on a dating catastrophe. The organizer of the event, playwright John Blenn, says that, to his surprise, a lot of people actually do bring a date, to watch other people have excruciating dates on stage.
I hope to see a crowd of folks attend to support John Blenn, Middle Class American Productions, and all the new writers. There is always some extra excitement about a world premiere. Kind of like reality television for the theatre crowd.
For John Blenn’s special invitation to the show, see the video promo: here.

The fun-filled night will take place this weekend at the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center at Five Towns College. Blenn is an extraordinarily talented writer, and the previous shows were huge successes, so BE SURE NOT TO MISS this one…tickets are still available, but may not be for long. -Regards, SB
