Nevada City, CA – The Miners Foundry Cultural Center is pleased to present the Third Annual Disco Inferno Halloween Ball on Saturday, Oct. 26 featuring Lorraine Gervais, Chris & Jon Kelly, Kate Haight and The Super Fly Orchestra.
“It was so much fun last year that we just had to do it all over again. So get your Disco moves and your all night grooves ready,” said Executive Director Gretchen Bond.
Guests are invited to dress “monstrously” or in “all-out disco style” or somewhere in-between to this all-ages community show that is ADA accessible. Doors and bar open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
“It’s a disco inferno ball so anything goes! Our goal for the band, as always, is to be as spectacular and fun as possible with the energy on stage as big as the audience’s. This year the band has grown to thirteen players and it will definitely be over the top,” said singer Lorraine Gervais who toured with a disco band in the 1970s.
Lorraine “Lolo” Gervais is a jazz and R&B singer well-known in the community for being a consummate and versatile entertainer who brings a quirky elegance and contemporary feel to any genre she sings.
She’ll be accompanied by a glittery Kate Haight, twin brothers, Jon and Chris Kelly, and special guest singer Angie Villwock. The Super Fly Orchestra will back up the singers with Bob Villwock and Bob Aron on keys, Ray Sayre and Perry Mills on guitars, Gary Regina on sax and Charlie Faber on bass, with Tim Bulkley playing drums and Rob Holland on percussion.
“We try to hit all the classics – from the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, The Trammps, to KC and The Sunshine Band, Sister Sledge, the Village People and more—all the disco hits you can think of. The Kelly Brothers do the greatest Bee Gees I’ve ever heard! All 13 of us will be dressed in various stages of disco or Halloween,” said Gervais.
The lights will be flashing and the bass will be thumpin’ and everybody will be dancing to “Stayin Alive,” “Boogie Oogie Oogie,” “Get Down Tonight,” “Best of My Love” and more hot harmonies, cool hand motions and old school disco funkiness.
“This show always transports people back to a time when things were simple and fun, you can dance the night away and sing to every song and just be happy,” said Gervais.
