Ol’ Blue Eyes will serenade Autumnfest
WOONSOCKET – This year’s Autumnfest headliner will be Las Vegas-based Frank Sinatra tribute artist Brian Duprey.
As an actor in the hit show “The Rat Pack is Back,” Brian spent 10 years perfecting his craft in Las Vegas and in over 200 performing arts centers and casinos across the country. His lead role and creative development of the show built a 48 state tour and also secured the title of Best Tribute Show of Las Vegas in 2014.
Showered with awards and recognition for his live and recorded performances, Brian Duprey had his big break on FOX TV’s “Performing As,” where he won top prize by portraying his idol, Frank Sinatra. Brian has been featured on CSI Las Vegas, The History Channel, NBAAllstar Jam, and the hit movie Get Him To The Greek.
He also opened for the likes of Paul Anka and the cast of HBO’s Sopranos and wowed specials guests like Steve Wynn at The Smith Center in Las Vegas.
The Autumnfest Steering Committee said they are excited to welcome home a native son, as Duprey is a Woonsocket native.
He will perform Saturday Oct. 7, at 7 p.m. on the Autumnfest main stage, free of charge.
Autumnfest is held every Columbus Day Weekend (October 7, 8 & 9) at World War II Memorial Park, Social Street, Woonsocket.
