Music for Mt. Lebanon announces its fourth concert of the 2015-2016 season. The Dukes of Dixieland will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 6, 2016 at Mellon Middle School in Mt. Lebanon.
Tickets are $30 each and may be purchased online at www.musicformtlebanon.org or by phone at 412-258-4815.
Back in 1974, producer John Shoup reformed the Dukes of Dixieland and opened their jazz club atop the Monteleone Hotel, in the French Quarter, calling it DUKES’ PLACE with the blessing of its previous owner, Louis Prima.
The Dukes started accepting 30 dates a year with orchestras, festivals and Performing Arts Centers in the USA and overseas, never straying long, before returning home first to DUKES’ PLACE until 1986; then to a new home on Bourbon Street called Mahogany Hall. In 1992, they moved home base to the Steamboat Natchez, where they have remained ever since.
They also find time to record (26 albums), have produced three PBS television shows, and stream one show a week online. Unlike their Dixieland name, they play New Orleans music, from Dr. John and Fats Domino to Huey Smith and Louis Prima.
