The Duprees have entertained audiences who love their unique and romantic sound for more than six decades. Although members have changed throughout the years, the singing group stayed in touch with their East Coast roots and dedication to bringing favorite classics in an updated style.
In 1978 lead vocalist Mike Kelly left the Duprees and was replaced by Tommy Petillo on lead vocals and the group continued to perform throughout the tri state area. The last of the original group's performances with members John Salvato, Mike Arnone, and Joe Santollo's with Larry Casanova on vocals and Tommy Petillo on lead was New Years' 1979-80.
The romantic moods and deep meanings resonate in the lyrics by the smooth lead vocals of Tommy Petillo, Phil and Jimmy Spinelli, in the true essence of what has always been the heart, soul and voice of the Duprees. The Duprees classic songs will never die recording 10 cd's from 2001 to date.
