Acapella Concert: Tune Up
July 8, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free
Peregrine Welcomes Acapella Group Tune Up,
Featuring Tunes from Both Sides of the 60s
Locally based, “acapella-plus” group Tune Up will perform at Peregrine School on Saturday, July 8. The free concert is the third performance of Peregrine School’s 2023 Second Saturday Concert Series. The program features vocalists Bill Cavins, Dianna (Dede) Craig, Lane Suarez, and Vicky Boesch. Prior to the performance, Craig will present a 1-hour educational presentation.
Tune Up formed when members Cavins, Suarez, and Boesch decided to create a trio after years of singing in the Davis Arts Center’s Doo Wop class taught by Craig. The trio eventually grew to become a quartet when Craig joined the group adding her acoustic guitar and occasionally joining the singing with the addition of a fourth vocal part. Though the group continues to perform classic doo wop tunes, their repertoire has developed to include an eclectic range of material from the 1940s through the 1990s.
Cavins has lived in Davis since 1973 and is the former owner of Ganesh Works. Prior to the formation of Tune Up, he had performed in Full House and Two Tone Shoes. In addition to teaching doo wop, Craig has been a local performer for over 30 years and has performed with Biscuits and Honey as well as Now and Then. Suarez has been singing harmony since the age of 5. Since coming to Davis in 2013, she has performed with the Davis Threshold Choir, the Free Range Singers, and Kindred Spirits. Boesch is a local attorney, a UCD alumni, has a background in theater, and loves to sing. Cavins comments, “Tune Up is luck to have her [Boesch].”
