He has been entertaining professionally for more than three decades - as a solo act, duo or trio - in 38 states and 11 countries. While versatile in most genre, his trademark is Trop Rock tunes - a musical gumbo of reggae, soca, calypso, beach music, surf instrumentals, celtic rock, oldies, blues and steel drum sounds. Also, during a performance, you can expect him to cover a few Motown, Buffett, country as well as Beatles tunes. Maniscalco’s song list comprised of more than 1,000 songs.

Maniscalco is multi-instrumentalist, playing six- and 12-string acoustic guitars, flute, harmonica, autoharp and steel drum/steel pan. He frequently amazes his audiences by playing two trumpets -- simultaneously and in harmony. According to Maniscalco, most horn players play in the middle of their mouths and use the muscles from both sides, but he plays each off to one side or the other.

On the national stage, Maniscalco has opened for a long list of acts including Jimmy Buffett, Faith Hill, Chicago, Hall & Oates, Daryl Worley, B52 and Lee Greenwood.

Tickets are on sale now by telephone at 757.625.1212 and/or in person at the New Colony Theater. Tickets are also available at Starboards Coffee Kiosk at High Street Landing.
