Harry Lipsitz – Susie Noon Productions Present Jay Louis Dref in Concert At Russell's Steaks, Chops and More

Buffalo native and vocalist Jay Louis Dref returned this summer to perform at various local venues. In the last few months, Dref performed for sold-out crowds at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, North Park Theatre and the Italian Festival with Buffalo legend Joey Giambra. In late August, Dref was the featured vocalist in Giambra's BREAD AND ONIONS at the Kavinoky Theatre.

Dref will again share a stage with Giambra on Monday, October 1st at 7:30 p.m. in a more intimate setting at Russell's Steaks, Chops and More, 6675 Transit Road in Williamsville, New York. In addition to Giambra on trumpet, others include Rick Carfa on keyboards, Tom Naples, guitar, Rick Fadale on bass and Bill Bates on drums. Along with Italian classics, Dref will perform several tunes from the Great American Songbook.
