Pure Prairie League

On the album “Bustin’ Out” – “The songs are meditative portraits of relationships that aren't running smoothly but are still alive, and they sound autobiographical rather than something contrived to sell records. These tunes are presented with grace and unusual taste, the country guitars and vocal harmonies backed with astonishingly sympathetic string arrangements…” – Richard Foss, All Music

“It is totally different and is one of the reasons we are still together and are going in the same direction — even when it comes down to writing songs and arranging them we get together as a team and come up with something creative instead of having arguments. That is very different to other bands I have seen.” – Ian Clarkson

Pure Prairie League

“I don’t think anybody who puts together or joins a rock ’n’ roll band ever thinks it’s going to last 45 years but it’s just one of those serendipitous things. We had our eye on something and sort of kept to it and it still seems to work this way.” – Mike Reilly

Ana Popovic

“In the male-dominated world of blues, the Serbian born and raised Ana Popovic continues to prove her mettle and might with killer guitar chops and well-crafted songwriting.” – Fender.com

Poco

“Probably my favorite was the very beginning with Randy, Jimmy, Richie and I. That was a great time. I think the impact we had, whether people recognize it or not, that brought about the Eagles and brought about Ricky Nelson coming back into playing music, the whole genre … it really came out of those days at the Troubadour when we hit. We were great, we were really something special.” – Rusty Young

Pure Prairie League

- PPL ’s biggest hits include Fuller’s country rock classic, “Amie,” “Two Lane Highway,” and the musically less-representative pop song, “Let Me Love You Tonight,” composed by Jeff Wilson, Dan Greer and Steve Woodard.

Pure Praire League comes to The Lyric, March 6th, 2015!

Dick Clark interviews Pure Prairie on American Bandstand. Michael Reilly introduces the members of the band and Clark plays with the fact that Reilly and Vince Gill make him look short. Clark asks about the success of their new record, and Reilly says they are working really hard and hoping it will change their lives. They talk about life on the road, and Reilly says they intend to settle down soon and work on more stationary projects. Clark asks them about their future plans for the year and later, asks Reilly about the origin of the name Pure Prairie.

“When it comes to the Blues, there are quite a few interesting characters out there; Bill Wharton, whom is really better known as the "Sauce Boss", is one of them. In addition to Bill's amazing talents as a Guitarist, Singer, and Songwriter, he is also a chef, whom is more famously known for his Cajun cuisine, most notably being his Gumbo” – Blues Underground Network

Pure Prairie League

“Over a span of 43 years, we’ve had several personnel changes… We’ve had guys in the band like Vince Gill… Gary Burr, who’s a country music hall of famer, we’ve had guys from Kenny Loggins’s band play in our band... They left Kenny Loggins and came [to play with us] for about two, three years. [The band has] been sort of a springboard for a lot of people. Everyone that’s been among the ranks... has brought something individual and unique to the table… [but we’ve had] a lot of different contributors that made up that whole style [of Pure Prairie League].” – Mike Reilly

“PPL does what it's always done: they remain true to themselves, creating a sound that doesn't compromise their vision, yet manages to capture the ears of their adoring faithful ‘prairie dog’ fans, as well as a new legion of listeners. If there is a formula to PPL's longevity and success that may very well be it.” -Country Music Online

“People say we’ve got great choreography. But I can’t think of anything we do which we worked out specifically. One of us would do something, the crowd would like it, and we’d remember to do it the next time. The horn duels and the piano moving around started out as just a jam. It just developed and just got nuttier and wilder.” – Ian Clarkson

The Duprees

at The Lyric Theatre Mar 22, 2015 6:00 pm

More than 50 years after the release of their iconic hit “You Belong to Me,” the Duprees are still continuing their legacy as one of the foremost doo-wop groups in American history. Famous for breathing new life into tired old romantic tunes, the Duprees have an unforgettable sound that combines the soulful harmonies of doo-wop with the energy of the big band. Today, the Duprees features vocal legends Tony Testa, Tommy Petillo, Jimmy Spinelli, and Phil Granito.

Founded in the early 1960s in Jersey City, New Jersey, the Duprees were immediately recognized for their vocal precision and innate talent by the owner of Coed Records, George Paxton. With the release of their very first single, a cover of Jo Stafford’s “You Belong to Me,” in 1952, the Duprees hit the top ten on the U.S. music charts. Over the next few years, the Duprees continued to write hits, producing over 40 top sellers by the late 1960s and early 1970s. Some of these hits include “Love Eyes,” “Take Me As I Am,” and “My Own True Love,” which was an adaptation of “Tara’s Theme” from the soundtrack of the film Gone with the Wind.

Today, the Duprees are still bringing their gorgeous doo-wop sound to audiences across the United States. The four-person vocal ensemble features original member and former guitarist Tony Testa as the current leader of the group, the always versatile Tommy Petillo, the suave and professional Jimmy Spinelli, as well as the show-stopping voice of Phil Granito. The Duprees are still dedicated to bringing a new vigor to timeless classics, wooing listeners of all ages with new takes on famous love songs.

“For anyone seeing Bill Wharton for the first time, his show was an overwhelming event. Wharton preached his "gospel of gumbo, assembled his culinary creation and continually urged the audience (especially the women) to help him out by stirring the pot until the gumbo was ready to eat. When he added his burning slide guitar to the mix, everyone got a show that they could see, hear, smell, touch and taste” – Dave Piltz, Blues on Stage
