We caught the Dylan Perrillo Orchestra coming through on tour! We are so lucky to have them at Dewey Hall. The DPO regularly sells out Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs. A concert not to miss.
The Dylan Perrillo Orchestra from Albany, NY performs popular American music from 1890-1950 taking a particular liking to the songbook of the 1920’s. Complete with a six-piece horn section, violin, vocalist and rhythm section, DPO boasts an impressive line up of accomplished musicians of their own accord. Beginning in 2013, the big band has steadily been working towards building an audience for their unique interpretation of classic and not-so-classic, jazz-influenced compositions. Their upcoming mini tour will also coincide with their unveiling of their first record since the groups inception six years ago. DPO performed at Proctor’s opening for Jay Leno, alongside David Amram at the Universal Preservation Hall, at Caffe Lena, Albany’s Tulip Festival, SUNY Potsdam, University of Connecticut, Saranac Lake’s Party on the Patio and more.

David’s Friend is the story of a crazy friendship in 1980s New York City – a restless city during a reckless time. Written and performed by Nora Burns with direction by Adrienne Truscott, dramaturgy by Lucy Sexton and featuring Billy Hough, it’s a comic odyssey about cruising, disco, drag queens, strippers, sex, love, loss, and AIDS, told with music, videos, costumes, characters, tall tales and torrid truths.

“A feisty and funny one-woman show… her odyssey brings alive the period and its pleasures (and poisons) with pungent animation.” – Charles Isherwood, New York Times
