Performers’ Circle will anticipate the Thanksgiving holiday as featured performers, ZEST, sing a cappella songs from the doo wop and early rock and pop eras. The event will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 7 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall, 415 2nd St. in Davis.
ZEST members are Henriette Bruun, Earl Byron, Paola Franceschi, and Erie Vitiello, who met in the Davis Art Center’s Doo Wop harmony class led by Dr. Doo Wop himself (Frank Fox). They have been performing together for over 10 years.
They create harmonies from groups such as the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Billy Joel, as well as older groups such as Dion and the Belmonts, the Platters, and the Shirelles. Their music will have you clapping and singing along on a tour of hits from the earliest days of rock and roll.
The Performers’ Circle is a free event that welcomes performers of all levels as well as audience members who simply come to enjoy the performances. No tickets or reservations are required. The event is held the fourth Tuesday of each month, except December.
The event begins with an open mic from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m. and concludes with the featured performance from 8:30 to 9 p.m. Sign-ups begin at 6:45 for short performances (less than 5 minutes per act). The emcee this month will be George Haver. Masks are welcome at Odd Fellows Hall.
