Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 06:48PM After the concert on Sunday a group of concert goers went to Luigi's downtown to use their 10% discount on dinner and who walks in but Steve Lippia and two of the band members! It was a great chance for everyone to get to know each other a bit better and it made the afternoon's concert even more enjoyable. Ellie Klees says it was great to find out how down to earth these performers are. Fun had by all.
Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 10:44PM Steve Lippia arrived at the DuBois Concert Association performance with a 10 piece band and incredible talent. He sang to an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd at the DuBois Middle School, bringing the sounds of yesterday year putting Sinatra and Bennett in mind. Trumpet and saxaphone alike filled the hall with fond memories through tonight's music. "This much awaited concert was nothing short of fantastic. The quality of music kept us wanting for more", says Bob Moline of the DuBois Concert Association. The Association recently announced its 2012-2013 Three-Concert Series that includes two much lauded tribute performances by artists top in their field. The association has just opened its membership drive for the season. For $45 local residents are able to attend the 3 concerts and receive discounts on several local restaurants as a membership benefit. Call 814-371-3266 for ticket information.

It was announced today that DuBois Concert Association will host another remarkable Three Concert Series that boasts two sought-after tribute performances. Association membership tickets will go on sale starting April 10, 2012.
This season’s lineup offers crowd-pleasing tributes to two music icons: John Denver and Floyd Cramer. Ted Vigil not only strikes an impressive resemblance to Denver, his voice echoes the musical memories of a generation who grew to appreciate Colorado, if only through song. Acclaimed pianist and Country Music Hall of Famer, Floyd Cramer is fittingly paid homage by his grandson, Jason Cramer Coleman who aptly personifies his legendary grandfather’s legacy.
The DuBois Concert Association hosts a “Classic Irish Christmas” with none other than Andy Cooney, dubbed “Irish America’s Favorite Son” by the New York Times. Since playing to a sold out crowd at Carnegie Hall in 2009, Cooney has been busily singing around the world and out at sea, but will usher in the holiday season with concert goers in DuBois, Pennsylvania.
“We are genuinely pleased and humbled at the talent we’re about to be entertained by this year. We expect to see a packed hall because these concerts are exactly what people in our area request and enjoy.” says Bob Moline, Vice President of the DCA.
Members of the Association not only enjoy yearly 3-concert series, but also discounts from local restaurants on the day of each concert. Participating restaurants include the DuBois Diner, Luigi’s Ristorante, Eat ‘n Park and Perkins Restaurant and Bakery. Reciprocity agreements with area associations, Lewistown, and Punxsutawney allow DCA members to attend their shows also. Membership tickets can be purchased at the DuBois Concert Association office (814-371-3266). If seating remains available after Membership sales, per concert tickets cost $45. All concerts are held at the DuBois Middle School, located at 404 Liberty Blvd in DuBois, Pennsylvania.

In keeping with their long-standing tradition since 1911, the DuBois Concert Association announced today their Three-Concert Series season for 2011-2012.
This entertainment season will include the much-lauded “Swing Machine” conducted and directed by Tom Falen whose musical career began with studying music in the Navy School of Music. Tom's education continued at Berklee College of Music in Boston after which he played lead trumpet and performed with the Kent Jazz Society and many other Big Band organizations. Tom is also the Lead Trumpet and Vocalist for the Swing Machine Big Band.
The Swing Machine concert will be held on September 18th at 3PM at the DuBois Middle School.
On October 24th, the “Southern Fried Jazz Band” will be led by veteran trumpeter Don Edwards. Edwards’ musical history has been distinguished by backing some of the world’s Dixieland greats like Louis Armstrong and the World’s Greatest Jazz Band. The “Southern Fried Jazz” horn section has established itself as having a crowd-pleasing variety of musical selections and well honed stage spontaneity amongst its veteran players.
In early 2012, the DuBois Concert Association will fill the hall with anxious fans of Steve Lippia. Heralded around the world as one of the finest vocal interpreters of jazz and pop “standards” of this generation, Steve Lippia will sing his way through the American songbook to the delight of all that get their tickets early. The concert will be held on April 22.
“Our 2012 concert series is full of everyone’s favorite kind of music and entertainment. We’re very pleased they all came together this season!” notes Bob Moline, Vice President of the DCA.
