LOUIS PRIMA JR. AND THE WITNESSES FEATURING SARAH SPIEGEL
ROCK OUT ON THE JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! STAGE
DURING PRIMA NOTTE AT THE
GALBANI ITALIAN FEAST OF SAN GENNARO L.A.
Louis Prima Jr.- the son of the late legendary singer and bandleader Louis Prima- along with his powerhouse band The Witnesses featuring Sarah Spiegel, rocked the house, bringing many to their feet during “Prima Notte” (“first night”) at the 11th Annual Galbani Italian Feast of San Gennaro L.A.
Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel (chairman of the Galbani Italian Feast of San Gennaro) and Adam Carolla, LPJ and his wild band headlined at the packed VIP-only Opening Night Fundraising Gala. Celebs such as Dr. Drew Pinsky, Jeffrey Ross, Dominic Monaghan and Joe Mantegna were among some of the notable attendees. “Prima Notte” is followed by a performance for fans tonight, Friday, September 28.
Just like the 80-plus year old New York City tradition, the event—launched by some of L.A.’s most prominent Italian-Americans in 2002—is a celebration of Italian culture, food and entertainment featuring live music, street performers, strolling musicians, a kid’s corner and many rides and games. Ticket info is available at http://feastofla.org.
The party continues on Saturday evening, September 29 when the group performs at the world famous Malibu Inn on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu at 9 p.m. Pre-order tickets are still available online.
Return of the Wildest! is Prima Jr.’s independent debut CD distributed by Warrior Records/Universal Music Distribution and has been racking up glowing reviews and praise from critics and fans alike since its release this summer.
Next week, he and the band head to Prima Jr.’s former hometown of New Orleans for a series of shows in the region October 4-6, followed by performances in Destin, Fla. (October 7) and Biloxi, Miss. (October 10).
