Thanksgiving Disco Fever
Concert and Dance Contest
Its’ The Disco Party of the Year, hosted by Mickey B, the man bringing Disco Back. He did it last year and he is doing it again. With over 45 years in the entertainment business Mickey B is on a mission. He is ready to re-light the disco inferno. He has done it all, from radio to television and everything in between. He was given the name “Prince of Rock & Roll” because of the numerous contributions he has made over the years. He grew up as the King of the Catskills, MCing at an early age and making a name for himself. For 18 consecutive years he hosted the New Year Eve Gala at the Hyatt Cerromar Beach Hotel. Mickey B. has fond memories of his Catskill days and the dozens of hotels with the non-stop dancing and entertainment. These cherished memories have lit a fire of encouragement for Mickey B. to launch a new wave of dancing. “It’s time for couple to get close and start dancing cheek to cheek again”. That being said, on November 6th, the “Saturday Night Thanksgiving Disco Fever”, will take place. You’ll experience some of the biggest names from the Disco Era performing, witness a head to head dance contest (the winners of the preliminaries) and you’ll dance the night away. There will be dancing in the aisles to the live sounds of Tavares, Carol Douglas, France Jolie and more.
Mickey B’s illustrious career includes recording 10 records with “Tico and the Triumphs”. Super Star Paul Simon was a member of the group. Mickey B. produced and sung many songs released in the USA and France. He has appeared as a guest on many of the top rated television shows. His great love for music has made him a leader in the industry. As the host of several of his own shows on cable TV, he now produces concerts and music festivals. In addition to writing a monthly column for the “50+ LifeStyles” newspaper, he also supports many senior promotions and events. Mickey B. can also be seen and heard on many radio and TV commercials. Every Friday night you can hear Mickey B. doing his thing via his weekly radio show. Just tune in to 1240 AM, from 7-10, for WGBB as he plays all the oldies and takes your requests. Also heard on the Internet just go to www.mickeyb.com and click on Live broadcast.
Mickey B. loves the sounds of the 70’s and 80’s and is anxious to help re-create the era when kids, of all ages, would touch dance. The planets are in the right places to make all this happen again and Mickey B. is kicking off one heck of a tribute with multiple preliminary dance contests. The top names in hustle dancing are all getting involved too. Mary & Luis Rosa, Lou Del Prete, Mark James, Donna DeSimone, Lori Brizzi,….The winners from the preliminary contests will move on to the finals, on stage, November 6, at “Saturday Night Disco Fever” held at The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts. The performances will include: Tavares and the Tavares Orchestra, France Joli, Carol Douglas, Sweetwater Orchestra, That 70’s Band and Soul Beit…and Mickey B will be performing live his hit song “Here Comes the Garbage Can”. It will be an incredible night. For all the details visit www.MickeyB.com
