Group plans last Wellsboro concert of season
In addition to national touring artist Greg Piccolo and Heavy Juice, there are other reasons not to miss the Wellsboro Community Concert Association’s last concert of the 2025-26 season at 7:30 p.m., April 25 in the Coolidge Theatre at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts, 104 Main St., Wellsboro.
Piccolo is nominated for a prestigious 2026 Blues Music Award by The Blues Foundation in the “Instrumentalist-Horn” category, a news release says. He is known for his work with his own band Greg Piccolo and Heavy Juice, which he started in 1994, and for coming to national prominence as a tenor saxophonist, lead vocalist, songwriter and bandleader from roughly 1971-1994 as a key member of Roomful of Blues, an American jump blues and swing revival big band based in Westerly, Rhode Island where Piccolo was born and raised.
“His Blues Foundation nomination highlights his enduring impact, soulful tenor saxophone, and his legendary career in blues that spans more than 60 years,” the news release said. “He captivates audiences with his timeless performances and unmatched artistry. Piccolo has never shied away from creating an engaging experience for his fans ensuring that each show is as unique as it is memorable.”
On stage at Wellsboro with Piccolo will be Shinichi Otsu at the piano and on bass, and special guests Bobby Ruggiero on drums and Mike Williams on guitar.
Individual tickets for the Greg Piccolo and Heavy Juice show are available by visiting the Wellsboro Community Concert website at wellsborocca.org, or by calling the association at 570-404-0411. Tickets, if available, will also be sold the night of this concert beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby.
