Pat DiCesare, 71, started his long and prestigious music career in the late '50s as a singer and songwriter for the group The Penn Boys before quickly moving on to record distribution and concert promotion. Along with The Beatles, he brought such acts as The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Janis Joplin to the Arena in the '60s.
In 1973 Pat DiCesare Productions brought on partner Rich Engler to form DiCesare-Engler, which became one of the top grossing concert promoters in the country.
In 1998 DiCesare-Engler was sold to entertainment giant SFX, after which DiCesare spent two years as CEO of the Regatta Management Group. DiCesare, who focused on the real estate side of DiCesare-Engler, still invests in and manages real estate.
He lives in Greensburg with Kathy, his wife of more than 40 years. He has three children and two grandchildren.
