LAPEER — Ever want to be a part of the audience for a radio broadcast? On Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. at the PIX Theatre in downtown Lapeer, you’ll get the opportunity. Join the audience at The PIX for a music and variety show being broadcast through Lapeer’s own Solid State Radio.

Hosted by Mitch Gill and featuring local performers, November’s show will feature musical guest Ken “Pops” Jones and comedian Diego Attanasio.

Kenneth “Pops” Jones is a veteran of the music scene, playing in a variety of bands, and 15 years as a solo artist. Since 2012, he has been the front man for a rising rock band, Salter. After playing shows consistently during 2012-2013, Salter released their debut album “Revolution.” Music from the album has been making its rounds on internet radio, playing worldwide, and enjoying a growing fanbase.

Diego Attanasio is a Detroit-based comedian originally from Peru who quickly wins over crowds with his quick wit, likability, and sarcastic observations. His rapid-fire delivery and onstage charisma make Attanasio one of the most notable acts in the Midwest. Attanasio has performed stand-up in Alaska, Hawaii, and everywhere in between.

Mitch Gill, host for Live from The PIX, was born and raised in Michigan, and he has been a professional announcer for more than 25 years. He was a disc jockey on the radio for 13 of those years. While in radio he held the positions of Morning Host (which made the most of his outgoing and fun personality), and production director (which took advantage of his voiceover and production skills).

There is no cost for admission to the new series of Friday evening shows, but it is recommended to reserve tickets in advance, as seating is limited. To get your ticket, visit the PIX Box Office located inside Gallery 194, Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets may also be reserved over the phone at 810- 664-4824 or online at website www.centerfortheartslapeer.org.
