The Karma Submitted Photo EXETER — After the huge success of last year’s Wyoming Area Catholic summer concert benefit with Philadelphia Freedom: A Tribute to Elton John, the band is back at it again this summer with a repeat performance on Saturday, July 20 at the school’s backyard.
Doug Delescavage, who portrays Elton John is also the school’s music instructor, has been traveling all over the northeast region of the U.S. with the tribute band playing to large audiences everywhere.
In 2023 at the Casino, Philadelphia Freedom: A Tribute to Elton John played at Mohegan Pennsylvania Casino’s Party on the Patio to about 8,000 people. According to Delescavage, the band played before 10,000 in Upstate NY.
“I’m very excited for it and it will be our third year doing show,” Delescavage said. “The money that we are raising will go towards the school of added security features and being a teacher there it’s very personal for me and we will try to pack as much as possible into the show.”
The show will also feature another local sensation, Tori V & the Karma playing original songs as well as an array of rock n’ roll cover songs.
Tori has been on the music scene for several years rocking away showcasing her guitar skills backed by her band, The Karma.
She has put out several EPs over the years with critical success. If you like rock, then Tori V & The Karma will get you ready as they open for Philadelphia Freedom: A Tribute to Elton John.
