Erie Music History Podcast

Sorry to hear about Denny Fabrizi passing. I interviewed Denny 2 years ago for the podcast. Just a nice guy and great musician.

It is with profound sadness that we inform you that Denny Fabrizi, a long time member of the new era of Ruby Port and our beloved keyboard player, has passed away. Denny had to confront several major medical issues over the last year and put up a courageous fight against them all. To say that he will be missed is a gross understatement. Denny was a gifted, versatile musician and was well known and respected in the Erie music community. Many of us had the pleasure of performing and enjoying his contributions to our bands and I personally will never again listen to Good Lovin’ without hearing Denny’s voice or Piano Man without hearing his accordion and harmonica accompaniment. The band extends our deepest sympathy to his wife Laurie, his children Rachel, Devin, Chad and Allie as well as his many friends and fans. You will be missed more than we can express, Denny; thank you for all of the fun and memories that you helped create for all of us to enjoy. Until we meet again, we remain your friends and bandmates from Ruby Port. ❤️

Last night was another fantastic night of music and charity! Thanks to all who keep coming to these monthly music events AND special thanks to Jack Stevenson & The Buried Treasure Band and the The Fabulous Leftovers Orchestra for all the great tunes. And I’m always thankful for Brian from Wildsound Productions for handling all the sound duties. Finally, let’s all make sure we say thanks to John Tramontano for giving us the JPT events center for this event.
