Blast from the Past, Volume IV, the Charleroi Area School District Education Foundation’s annual must-see oldies show, is set for Friday, April 21, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the Charleroi Area High School Auditorium.

Pure Gold

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.
