Boo2! at Temple Performing Arts Center

BOO2! On Halloween Night, Friday, October 31st at 8pm at the Temple Performing Arts Center, Steve Tirpak brings together some of Philly's most talented Jazz artists for an intensely, spooky good time in a special Halloween performance, a monster bash called, “Boo2!” 

There is something for everyone! Come and enjoy Jazz, Blues, Rock, R&B and Hiphop tunes, like Snoop Dog's, "Murder Was The Case They Gave Me" to Wayne Shorter's "Witchhunt."

We are talking about a hot, 12 piece band that can effortlessly play Jazz, Blues, R&B, Rock and Hiphop. With an array of powerful and inventive singers, who make you forget who originally sang these tunes. There will be a rapper with many styles, who can flow on any beat, any tune. We also have Mr. Sonny James aka DJ Statik, spinning on the wheels of steel before and after the band. So, if they didn't make you move your feet - he will. DON’T SLEEP. If you weren't there last year, you can catch up this time. I repeat... DON’T SLEEP. This is gonna be the event not to miss.
 
Don't forget to wear a costume! The band will be in full costume. Prizes will be awarded for Best Costume. Come and enjoy Refreshments & Dancing.
