Italian pop violinist Andrea Di Cesare returns to Original’s Bar and Lounge

Italian rock and pop violinist, Andrea Di Cesare, from Milan, Italy, with special guest DJ Kyra, returns to perform with popular regional band, Voodoo Highway, at Originals Bar and Lounge, located at 25 Lake St. in Owego, N.Y., on Friday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m.

Andrea Di Cesare is noted as one of Italy’s top violinists. His studies began at the age of five under the instruction of prominent violin masters and teachers of composition at the Conservatoria di S. Cecilia and the Scuola di Composizione in Rome. Since concluding his studies, Andrea has toured worldwide both as an accompanist to over a dozen major Italian rock and pop stars and as a solo artist. Playing solo, Andrea’s technique involves the use of looping and other technology to add a depth of sound to his solo instrument, rivaling that of a full band. 

Audience members this year will be treated to a special collaboration with DJ Kyra, a popular Italian DJ making only a handful of appearances with Andrea in the region. 

Andrea will be joined by regional favorite, Voodoo Highway. Playing a mix of blues, rock, and original tunes, Voodoo Highway is a fan favorite at Original’s! The band includes Dana Stewart “The Doctor” (lead vocals, guitar), Bob Rynone (lead and slide guitar, vocals), Chris Rice (bass, vocals), Tom “Rear-View” D’Angelo (drums).  

Andrea was last in town in November of 2016, when he played a standing-room-only show at Original’s with Voodoo Highway and also took part in the Village of Owego’s Veterans Day celebration, playing a memorable and moving version of our National Anthem. 

Andrea will be playing a limited number of engagements in the Southern Tier and Original’s Bar and Lounge is proud to host this very special performance. While there is no ticket charge for this event, patrons are encouraged to arrive early to guarantee admission.
