Doo Wop under the Moonlight

When I heard that the Doo Wop Project was coming back to the Moonlight Amphitheatre, it was a no-brainer that I would attend. Other than the venue, I had never really explored Vista. My friend Mona picked urbn (yes, that’s who it’s spelled) pizza for dinner (which also has a location near my house). The mashed potato pizza must be tried to be believed. Afters, cooler temperatures be damned as we got desert at Handel’s ice cream.



Yes, in southern California, we bundle up when it dips below 60 degrees.



The Moonlight Amphitheatre was decked out for the holidays, which paired with the cooler (!) temperatures helped make us all feel festive.



Yup, blankets. I’m sure you east coast readers feel sorry for us.



Once those Doo Wop Project harmonies began, everyone warmed up.

And after, as the spirit of Rudolph and the other reindeer took over:



It is so much fun to watch the joyous interactions that these guys exude every time they perform together.



Afterwards, I got to visit with them as they had to swat off the other audience members who were clamoring for autographs. I predict amazing things for Dwayne in the New Year!



The post will end with a little clip from one of my favorite numbers, “Shop Around.”



I need to find out where these guys shop! See more Doo Wop Project photos at my main website.

Moonlight Monday

Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista, that is. The occasion was to see The Doo Wop Project’s Christmas Concert. Dominic Scaglione, Jr. who I met in NYC this summer was one of the singers. The concert featured oldies and Christmas classics alike, spreading joy through the audience despite the chilly temperatures. Well, chilly for the woosies who live here in Southern California.

Charlton Brown, the Tony award nominee for playing Smokey Robinson in “Motown The Musical,” welcomed a friend up to the stage. He is also a San Diego native.







The weather did not cooperate for the show. Rain began to pour down after intermission. Are we really in San Diego? I want my sunshine tax back.



The gang squeezed out a few more tunes before the show had the plug pulled on it for the rain.



Dominic welcomed us backstage, where it was much drier.



Dominic and Charl:



I highly recommend seeing if The Doo Wop Project is coming to a venue near you. The guys are all super talented and the music is fantastic.
