Disco band Dancing Queen will play the first outdoor show at the Grand Valley Inn; 15-year-old Gabriella Salvucci, a Lincoln Park student, releases her first singles.

The Grand Valley Inn leaps into the outdoor concert realm Aug. 22.

The Fallston restaurant’s first open-air concert will feature popular Pittsburgh disco band Dancing Queen.

“We are trying to enhance the Beaver County music scene by bringing in bands and acts that are new to this area and normally would play at some of the bigger venues in the area,” Grand Valley’s Joe Rubino said. “Dancing Queen has been recommended by our customers who have seen them at Jergel’s and Fox Chapel Yacht Club, and we are glad to bring them to Beaver County.”

Unlike the Fox Chapel Yacht Club, you won’t have to rattle your jewelry; you can just clap your hands to show your approval as Dancing Queen whips through its setlist of ’70s and ’80s disco and funk.

You even can get up and dance in one of the three tents the Grand Valley will prop up outside to fend off any raindrops.

Showtime is 8 p.m., and tickets cost $10, to be pre-paid when you make a dinner reservation for that evening. In accordance with state rules, masks must be worn at all times except when you’re seated at your designated seat.

“With all the cancellations, we want to provide Beaver County with a great show in a safe environment,” Rubino said.

Guests can order off the Grand Valley’s regular dinner menu until 8 p.m., after which a smaller menu will be available.

Meet Gabriella

Gabriella Salvucci, a 15-year-old Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School student, released her second single July 31 on major music platforms.

The singer-songwriter’s “B Sides” finds her wrangling with shyness (“being isolated in my comfort zone”) while relying on the solace of music to whisk her away “to a different place.”

We weren’t born in the same century, but I totally relate.

Salvucci’s vocal approach is strong and confident, with the song imbibing an indie-folk/rock feel, pointing to such influences as the Head and the Heart, Maggie Rogers, and Florence + the Machine,

Besides writing original tunes, the Oakdale resident plays piano and ukulele and has performed at Mr. Small’s Theatre, sung at open mics at Black Forge Coffee House and the Thunderbird Music Hall, and gone busking in Bakery Square.

Her debut single, “Hoax,” came out May 15. You can hear it when 91.3-WYEP profiles Salvucci in an episode of “The Local 913,” airing twice a day Aug. 17 to 22 on Pittsburgh’s adult album alternative station.

Consider this

I’ve shared in this column the musical adventures of New Brighton singer-songwriter Stephen Rubinosky, including his multiple appearances on the Jerry Springer TV show.

Rubinosky is a super nice, highly ambitious musical artist who’s transitioned from emo-pop to gospel music.

His latest work, “Consider The Lillies,” is a piano-driven collaboration showcasing the pretty and powerhouse vocals of his girlfriend Nadine Draganac of Monaca.

The song comes from a Bible verse that says God takes care of every flower and animal, “with the hypothetical question, won’t he take care of us, too?” Rubinosky said.

Dragnac’s dad, Kevin Dragnac, is the pastor at Road to Emmaus Baptist Church in Monaca, and through the church’s missionary work, the song has been enjoyed by listeners as far away as Costa Rica and the Philippines.

Tidbits

1. Local country-rock favorites Eldorado Band entertain at 6 p.m. Aug. 15 at Green Valley Park in New Sewickley Township. It’s the “Concert In the Park,” replacing the township’s canceled Community Days. You can also catch Eldorado Band on Aug. 21, at Jergel’s Rhythm Grill in Marshall Township.

2. The Coffeehouse on SiriusXM radio will feature a four-song set today from Moon Township singer-songwriter Brooke Annibale. Tune in at 10 a.m. or 10 p.m. to hear the four songs Annibale recorded at home during our mass quarantine, including a Dua Lipa cover.

Morry’s memories

Readers shared many memories after my column two weeks ago about the former Morry’s Speakeasy music club in Rochester Township now facing a demolition order.

“(I) gigged there many times starting way back in ’69,” Bob Hage of Hopewell said. “Stopped in one Saturday night, and Gary Lewis and the Playboys were on stage. I hadn’t seen any advertising for the show, and the crowd was a typical Saturday night crowd. I got to talk to Gary, and they were trying to rebrand as a hard rock band. Something like this could only happen at Morry’s around here back then.”

Center Township harmonica ace Charlie Barath said that on Aug. 25, 1999, he he met his wife, Gwenda, at the Morry’s site, after it had been rebranded as a blues bar, Chameleon Junction. Barath privately shared with me a cheery, catchy song he wrote inspired by that encounter, which he will release someday (the sooner the better, I’d say).

Kelvin Evans, former owner of a Monaca record store, said he fondly recalls seeing the band Aaron’s Rodd perform at Morry’s.

“Great band. Had fire, fog, pyrotechnics. Their last set was all originals,” Evans said. “Even had a rock ’Wizard of Oz’ medley.

Monaca native Nick Zeigler said his nationally touring band the Leonards played a 1993 date at Morry’s after it had been rechristened Arthur’s. By the way, check out Zeigler’s new YouTube show, “Rock Talk With Nick Z,” where the debut episode found him interviewing the guitarist from ’60s garage-rock greats the Standells of “Dirty Water” fame.

Darlington drummer Mark Groom said “Jimmi Krupa and I — a duo — were the first band that Morry hired, probably around ‘67 or ‘68. I’m in high school, and I remember like it was last week. Not my first gig, but the first time I become friends with my ’boss.’ Morry was a great and funny guy.”

Tom Plevel of Beaver recalled seeing internationally hailed blues artist Bernard Allison play Chameleon Junction.

If you missed that July 26 column, there’s been talk about erecting a historical sign near the site of the former Morry’s-Arthur’s-Chameleon Junction, but someone first would need to fill out an application with the Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation.
