On Friday, November 13, 2026, world-renowned acoustic guitarist Peppino D'Agostino will perform in our family room here in Allison Park, PA - 5:30 PM Doors open/ 7:00 PM Showtime.

We would like to invite all of our friends to this very special and intimate 40-seat house concert. This will be our very first "house concert" in our home, and we are hoping for a nice turnout. Our doors will open to guests at 5:30 PM with a social hour starting at 6:00 PM. Guests are more than welcome to bring a hearty appetizer or dessert to share before the show. All food will be shared and served in our kitchen at/about 6:00 PM and mostly consumed upstairs. This will be a BYOB event; wine, beer, cold drinks - please, no liquor. We will have bottled water, hot coffee, and cold drinks to share.

In the true spirit of a house concert, we will enjoy food and drink from roughly 6:00 PM until 7:00 PM, when we will all be asked to take a seat in the basement family room for an up-close and very personal concert by the maestro. Peppino will feature his best Italian love songs and instrumentals. Peppino will be offering a very special experience that we are calling "Made in Italy - Songs and Instrumentals." Peppino usually drops a few of these native tunes into his regular shows but at this concert, he will emphasize his Italian heritage and tell stories about his pilgrimage to the USA. In doing so, he will feature the music of his homeland from his 2008 album "Made in Italy."

Seating is limited to the first 40 who sign up at this site. To support Peppino, we have established a recommended donation of $35.00 per person and these donations will be directed 100% to Peppino.

Other Music Samples. A wonderful sample of Peppino’s audience interaction can be seen/heard when Peppino engages his audience in what I call a “musical walk around the world.” These walks are often the most personal and memorable elements of his shows.

Jump Rope (Solo guitar - Live at McCabes- LA

Ancora Un Istante (Original song in Italian-guitar and voice)

A Musical Taste of Italy -- Peppino is offering a special experience on this tour that we are calling A "Musical Taste of Italy - Songs and Instrumentals." Peppino often drops a few of these tunes into his regular shows but he is developing a special set list (for those who ask) that will emphasize his Italian heritage and in doing so, he will be singing a bit more in these shows.

If you want to listen only to his vocals/songs, select videos numbered: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCIq1rAkYtY&list=OLAK5uy_nw9n7c0JaKgRN9Ybt-x-FNHzkV676B4Wo&index=2 Ancora un Istante · Peppino D'Agostino Made In Italy ℗ 2008 Mesa/Blue Moon Recordings
