Frankie Day of AM 770 will once again be the Master of Ceremonies to introduce the “Blue Eyed Soul Man,” Billy Price, and the spectacular four-part harmonies of Pure Gold. Billy Price, who has been performing for audiences for three decades with legendary R&B guitarists and at rhythm and blues and jazz festivals, formed The Billy Price Band in 1990. He remains one of Pittsburgh’s favorite local musicians with a voice “lying somewhere between Sam Cooke and Otis Redding.” Pure Gold is a favorite amongst the local oldies music-loving crowd. Their signature acappella sound captivates audiences of all ages while performing music from the ‘50s, ‘60s ‘70s and blues to some of their own original material. As a blues or oldies lover…you sure won’t want to miss Billy Price and Pure Gold in one fabulous show!
Festivities begin at 5 p.m. with a classic car cruise at Charleroi High School. The Dog House will once again be serving hot dogs, burgers and refreshments. Then at 6 p.m., stroll on into the auditorium lobby and take a chance on one of our spectacular Chinese auction gifts and our 50/50 drawing. At 6:30, the doors to the auditorium will open, where the Charleroi High School Show Choir will perform. Billy Price takes the stage at 7 p.m., then, following a brief intermission, Pure Gold performs. Both bands will have a meet-and-greet after the show for pictures and autographs.
Ticket prices for this can’t-be-missed show are $50 for VIP seating and $35 for reserved seating. Please call Carol Claybaugh at 724-483-7075 or Kristin Marcy at 724-330-5002 for tickets. There will also be tickets available at the door.
