FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boston, Mass—June 9, 2008—On Friday, June 20, 2008 at 8:00 p.m., amidst a breathtaking panoramic view of Boston’s magnificent skyline, DJ Ricky P will once again christen the much-anticipated, summer music series aboard the famed Provincetown II during the third annual Club Classic Cruise featuring a LIVE performance by international recording artist Stevie B. (Party your Body, Spring Love) in a tribute to Boston radio legend Vinnie Peruzzi.
The three-hour floating party held under the night sky on Massachusetts Bay will once again pay tribute to Peruzzi who presided over several of the perennial “booze” cruises for many years. August 13th marks the fourth anniversary of the death of the affable DJ, affectionately known as Disco Vinnie, who died at the age of 51 after a long illness. Peruzzi worked at several Boston radio stations including KISS 108 FM, JAMN’ 94.5 FM and finally at the late STAR 93.7 FM. This year organizers will launch the Vinnie Peruzzi Scholarship Fund which will benefit a high school senior pursuing communication studies at Boston’s Emerson College.
“We are looking forward to continuing the tradition Vinnie began with Bay State Cruise Lines. We literally rocked the boat last year and we’re going to blow everyone out of the water again this year with a live, command performance by Stevie B.,” said DJ Rick Poccio long-time friend and former producer to Peruzzi.
Poccio, more commonly known in the Boston club circuit as DJ Ricky P, will be spinning all the favorite club classics along with a mix of today’s hottest dance music.
The cruise is being produced by the Balboni Communications Group, LLC and Rick Poccio in association with Boston impresario Evan Myers, together with the Friends of Vinnie Peruzzi. The purpose of the floating flashback bash is to continue Peruzzi’s tradition of summer classic dance cruises on Boston Harbor.
A surprise celebrity will be on board the Provincetown II to announce an upcoming cruise later in the summer. The Classic Cruise VIP list consists of Vinnie’s longtime radio and record associates, family members and friends.
Boarding begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Commonwealth Pier at the World Trade Center in South Boston. Admission is $25 per person. Tickets can be purchased on-line at www.baystatecruises.com, by calling 617-748-1428 or dockside the night of the cruise beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tickets can also be purchased exclusively at Rain Niteclub on June 6, 7, 13 and 14 from 10 p.m.-1:00 a.m. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Vinnie Peruzzi Scholarship Fund. This is a rain or shine event.
