Jimmy Cavallo

Jimmy Cavallo sings the blues

After missing yesterday’s show due to travel, Jimmy Cavallo said maybe this won’t be his last performance at the Italian Festival.  Essentially he didn’t rule out a comeback.  What he did do however, during his two-hour make-up performance, was shake, rattle and roar on the Washington Street stage. He also shared the stage with local musicians Joe Carello and Nancy Kelly.

Just in case you missed him, you have one more chance to catch Jimmy in the area because he plays the Polish American Club tomorrow.

We got to meet Jimmy Cavallo over the weekend. On stage he plays a mean sax, and has an energetic show with great jokes for someone almost 90. During his Saturday set he talked about appearing in the film Rock, Rock!”

He later told us he was the first white rock musician (with an all white band) to play Harlem’s Apollo Theater in 1956.
