\"\"<\/a> A variety of music for all ages will be heard at the Reservoir Park Amphitheater this Sunday, August 5 when \u2018Zupe\u2019 takes the stage as part of the Tyrone Regional Arts Council\u2019s Summer Concert Series.
\n\u2018Zupe\u2019 will perform the best in music of the 1940\u2019s to today.
\n\u2018Zupe\u2019 has been entertaining audiences of all ages for more than a decade. His early music accomplishments include being chosen to perform with the Pennsylvania State Choir in the spring of 1984. He also was selected to perform bugle duty, playing Taps for local V.F.W. and American Legion ceremonies and funerals.
\n\u2018Zupe\u2019 then enlisted in the United States Air Force in the summer of 1984. While serving in the Air Force, he continued to advance musically, serving as the student director\/arranger of the Sheppard Air Force Base Drum & Bugle Corps. When he was stationed in Germany, he also won a number of talent competitions, along with a national champion title in the \u2018Self-Accompanied Vocalist\u2019 category. \u2018Zupe\u2019 played in various piano bars and played keyboards in a high energy rock band.
\nFollowing his 1988 honorable discharge from the Air Force, \u2018Zupe\u2019 quickly made a name for himself as a modern-day one man band, using computers, keyboards, and drum machines. His use of computers and keyboards helps \u2018Zupe\u2019 to create a whole band effect so successful that the audience finds it hard to believe that only one man is performing on stage. He later played in a successful rock band in Europe while studying jazz composition under a Juliard master pianist.
\nZupe\u2019s published works have appeared in a number of television shows, including \u2018Malcolm in the Middle\u2019 and \u2018The Simple Life\u2019 on Fox, \u2018Dateline NBC\u2019, and MTV\u2019s \u2018Road Rules\u2019 and \u2018The Real World\u2019. He also had published on cable networks A&E and The History Channel.
\nDick DiAndrea of WALY 103.9 FM stated that \u2018Zupe\u2019 was one of the finest performers he has ever known.
\nAll Sunday concerts begin at 6 p.m. Concerts are free of charge and audience members should bring a chair or blanket for seating. If rain occurs, the concerts will be moved to the First English Lutheran Church, at the corner of Logan Avenue and 13th Street.
\nUpcoming Sunday concerts include \u2018Lou Stein Band\u2019, performing a variety of jazz and big band music on August 12; \u2018Michael O\u2019Brian Band\u2019, performing a variety of Irish music on August 19; and the Summer Concert Series concludes with \u2018The Local Country Band with Clayton Hoover\u2019 on August 26.
\nAll concerts are made possible by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and Tyrone Borough.
