Saturday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. Matthew Ball -The Boogie Woogie Kid, a pianist, singer and songwriter, will perform in the Deane Center’s Coolidge Theatre at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro.

This is the fifth in the Wellsboro Community Concert Association’s six-concert series.

“I was unhappily practicing law,” said Ball. “A short time later, I attended a hometown Boogie Woogie festival in Michigan. It inspired me to pursue my passion. Now I am known as the attorney turned musician who became a performing artist and YouTube sensation.”

Join Ball, the piano and song man with 5 million YouTube views, for a family concert of New Orleans song, Boogie-woogie piano, and Swing Era favorites from the Great American Songbook. He has been called “the fastest fingers in the Mid-west.”

He presents an upbeat program of arrangements of classic American songs like “It Had to be You”, “In the Mood”, “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In”, “That’s The Glory of Love”, “Basin Street Blues”, “Bumble Boogie”, “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”, “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out”, “What a Wonderful World”, and more.

His performances are described as “Awesome!” “Crushing!” “Fantastic!”

In 2020 he became a CAFE grant award winner in recognition of his “family-friendly” music contributions to the community.
