Chesapeake, VA, August 12, 2007 – More than twenty five musicians / entertainers from Hampton Roads will be performing during an entertainer showcase on Monday, August 20 at Paradocks East Coast Grille, 4124 Chesapeake Square Blvd, Chesapeake, VA 23321.

Joe Maniscalco, Paradocks Management Corporation’s Entertainment Director, is hosting the event from 6-10 p.m.

There is no charge for the event and the public is invited.

The showcase includes all musicians who have entertained in the “Mondays@Paradocks” Open Mic events during the past six months. These entertainers will be added to the roster for possible employment by Paradocks Management Corporation, Chesapeake, VA.

Paradocks is opening a second establishment -- across from the Greenbrier Mall at 801 Eden Way North, Chesapeake, VA 23320. -- on August 27 and will be using entertainment at both locations.

“We are pleased with the response we received from all musicians in Hampton Roads,” explained Maniscalco. “Entertainers from Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, Yorktown and Williamsburg showcased their talent for us and this event on August 20 is our way of showing our appreciation.

“It is also an excellent opportunity for each entertainer to be seen and heard by special Paradocks guests and patrons, booking agencies and promoters, as well as convention groups,” explained Maniscalco.

In addition, with technical support from Don Gill, Sound by Doc Parker Production, and Norman Harrell, we will be recording the event – and each entertainer will receive a copy of the CD.


Paradocks East Coast Grille is a favorite restaurant / night spot for patrons hailing from all of Hampton Roads. An Outer Banks-themed family-oriented sports grille, Paradocks caters to families as well as those seeking happy-hour and night-time entertainment. There are both smoking and non-smoke areas as well.

Entertainment Director, Joe Maniscalco, will handle the entertainment lineup for both Paradocks locations. Maniscalco can be seen on most Monday and Thursday evenings at Paradocks at the Chesapeake Square Mall location. After September 1, please call for his performance schedules at both locations. Or visit www.joemaniscalco.com or www.paradocksgrille.com.

A full-time, professional entertainer, Maniscalco is a talented singer / songwriter. He plays many musical instruments, including guitar, trumpet, flute, harmonica and the steel pan – a feat not many have mastered. Many of his songs showcase his Elle Minnette steel pan which he visited the Port of Spain, Trinidad/Tobago to obtain. In addition, he frequently amazes his audience by playing two trumpets – simultaneously and in harmony.
