Louis Prima Jr. & The Witnesses
351 Railroad Ave.,
Pittsburg
Louis Prima Jr. & The Witnesses return to The Bay for the first
time n 6 years after their sold-out performance at the El
Campinil Theatre.
Born into an undeniable musical legacy, Louis Prima Jr. picks up
the torch lit by his iconic father and leads his incarnation of
The Witnesses headfirst into the future. Their seamless blend of
hard-driving big band jazz, insanely dancer-able swing and, at
its core, real rock and roll has been wowing crowds worldwide for
over a decade.
Make no mistake, this is no tribute act. Although the band most
certainly Jumps, Jives, an’ Wails “Prima-style.” they are their
own musical beast-thoroughly modern, laying down a blueprint for
the future on the foundations of the past. Audiences will be
treated to an evening of classics from the Louis Prima catalog,
selections from LPJ & Co.’s two CDs (Return of the Wildes! and
BLOW) and a healthy dose of sure-to-please surprises.
