Backed by a seven-piece band, John Michael Coppola kicks off the evening with his solo concert, featuring songs selections from the 1940s to today made popular by artists including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and many others.

Coppola understudied and performed the role of Frankie Valli in the long running Chicago production of JERSEY BOYS.

Following intermission, Coppola leads the Frankie Valli and Four Seasons tribute group THE FOUR C NOTES through a musical salute to the world renowned rock and roll "hall of famers," whose story is the basis for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, JERSEY BOYS.

Coppola, who debuted his solo concert at the Metropolis in February of 2011 to a sold out audience, said "I am truly humbled and honored to be asked back to help raise funds for Arlington Cares for the second time. But to be back to where this wonderful adventure of a solo concert career started, at the jewel of the North Shore known as Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, is a real thrill for me personally. I couldn't ask for a better homecoming!"

"We are thrilled to have John Michael as our star attraction for our Arlington Cares special event. He wowed our guests at our previous fundraiser and we know he'll continue to do the same," comments Arlington Cares Board Member Nancy Cardella.
