He’s a one-man-band singing Elvis tunes to a dancing monkey. Frankie Capri recently played at The Original Oyster House as part of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership’s “Frankie Fridays.” Mr. Capri, who began in the early 1980s playing at the Liberty Belle Tavern and later the Lava Lounge, delighted crowds with his offbeat Vegas lounge act, including magic tricks and animated animals dancing to his music. Mr. Capri hasn’t had a regular club gig lately, but fans can still find him at numerous festivals and fairs in the region. View The Gallery >
