Dig Bandstand sound, salute vets
UPPER DARBY » Upper Darby Township salutes veterans with an “Oldies Night” featuring live performances by the celebrated Bobby Rydell, Lou Christie and The First Ladies of Rock and Soul at 7 p.m. Oct. 7 at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center, 601 N. Lansdowne Ave., Drexel Hill.
Tickets are $40 for reserved seating; $35 for veterans. The show is hosted by radio personality Lou Costello of Cruisin’ 92.1 WVLT FM. Mayor Tom Micozzie recognizes local Veterans to kick off the show.
“This is an incredible night of music that will take people back to the late ‘50s and early ‘60s when early rock ‘n’ roll, doo-wop, and teen idol crooners was all the rage and the music we listened to on our transistor radios,” said Harry Dietzler, executive director of performing arts center.
“Part of the ticket proceeds will help to jump start a Veterans Memorial within Upper Darby Township,” said Lou Ballezzi, who is producing the show and who produces and performs with The First Ladies of Rock ‘n Soul.
Appearing along with legendary teen idol Bobby Rydell and distinct falsetto performance of fellow ‘60s hit-maker Lou Christy, the First Ladies of Rock and Soul start off the evening by turning the clock back to a time and place in music history that only comes around once. Their performance includes hits from the Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Shirelles, The Marvelletes, and Mary Wells. With a musical line-up that includes “Da Do Ron Ron,” “Going to the Chapel,” “Be My Baby,” “Too Many Fish in the Sea,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “The Locomotion,” “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” audience members will enjoy an electrifying performance by this “girl group.”
The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is jointly sponsored by Upper Darby Township Mayor and Council and the Upper Darby School District Board of School Directors through the Department of Recreation and Leisure Services.
