TRAVEL

Cole Porter Festival - Peru, Indiana

We recently found out that the life and legacy of Cole Porter was celebrated in his hometown of Peru, IN the first weekend of June every year!

Well, we arranged our schedule a bit and made it up to Peru this past weekend for a portion of the celebration!

If you are not familiar with this Hoosier music icon, you will no doubt recognize at each one or two of this timeless hits from the 1920s-1950s. Songs like: Let’s Misbehave, Don’t Fence Me In, Let’s Do It - Let’s Fall In Love, All Of You, Night And Day, I Get A Kick Out Of You, and countless others! He truly was a genius with lyrics. While his beginnings in Peru, IN weren’t humble by any means (his family was very wealthy), he pursued a life of music instead of the corporate and legal professions that had made the generations before him.

We love Cole Porter’s music and have performed many of his songs over the years in musicals and now with our duet, Tin Pan Alley Cats. (I’ll have to find and share a clip or two of my role as Reno in his great musical, Anything Goes, which I performed in several years ago.)

The Cole Porter Festival in Peru, IN pays tribute to the man and his music over parts of four days during the first week of June - Cole was born on June 9, 1891.

We had SO much fun and the people of Peru were absolutely the kindest! We made many new friends and truly hope to perform at the festival next year!

Thank you, Peru and your lovely community! We shall return!
