The new Fall season at DHPAC gets off to an incredible start this coming Friday night with an appearance by “Desert Highway”. What sets this Eagles-tribute band apart from others is their lead vocalists….you’ll definitely enjoy Joe Salucci ( a longtime friend of mine) as the “Don Henley” vocalist. Joe has sung on some of the most well-known TV jingles of all-time, and does such a great job in this show. The backup musicians are top-notch too.

This performance may sell out, so I recommend getting your tickets in advance.

Showtime is this Friday, September 10th, @7:30pm.

Hope to see you there! -Regards, SB

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’

Ki writes: Tonight [Friday, July 16, 2010] at 7:30pm at DHPAC/Dix Hills Performing Arts Center, you can see “Dating Catastrophes VIII”, a series of world premiere, short, comedy plays by new writers. 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.

Today, Wednesday, July 7, 2010, is Ringo Starr’s 70th Birthday. For his birthday, Ringo asks that everyone — no matter where they are — flash the peace sign, and call out “peace and love”. You can read more about Ringo Starr’s birthday wish at the Liverpool Daily Post.

The DHPAC/Dix Hills Performing Arts Center community loves the Beatles. See a video of a recent Beatles show above. The end credits include local band Mostly Moptop performing Octopus’s Garden. We present many Beatles programs. Next one I see on the calendar is coming up in October. Though, check it out for yourself: here. And, note that a lot of people at DHPAC/Five Towns College slip Beatles songs into their repertoire.
