CCC Hosts a Night of Original Talent

Nick Ippoliti sang the night away Wednesday October 19th at CCC’s Original Talent Night at Market Street’s Soulfull Cup.

The place was packed as Mr. Ippoliti, is a CCC English professor, demonstrated a one man band of talent. With his guitar in hand and his fedora hat tilted on his head he belted out original folk tunes along with some his original music. Much of his music he writes himself, but he does perform other’s music such as songs done by Johhny Cash.

Some of his creations that he shared not only had attracting themes, but the titles gave a hint as to the flavorful content. He sang selections called: Straight Jacket, Americana, Mama’s Got a Girlfriend and Spanish Fountain. He would periodically interject comments or thoughts that surrounded the creation of his intriguing tales. For example his song Spanish fountain he told was an inspiration from a personal trip he took to Italy. While in search of his genealogy he discovered multiple beautiful water fountains that had been built in Italy by the Spanish during the Holy Wars. The Spanish built these fountains to make clan water available to all future soldiers in their travels, hence the inspiration for his song. He is a great combination of singer/songwriter, a Grammy nominee and is currently working on his 5th album. Is truly fortunate to have the creative Mr. Ippoliti in their midst. Write long and sing hard Mr. Ippoliti.
