New York City’s Studio 54 was a haven and incubator for the best of the Big Apple’s LGBTQ+ creative scene, and one of the club’s first resident DJs, Nicky Siano, is in the Bay area to help the ‘Burg celebrate the big parade.

The 69-year-old almost pre-dates disco and appears in a new three-part PBS docu series (“Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution”) that debuted last Tuesday. For this post-parade rager that goes into the late night, Siano brings the underground spirit and music of The Gallery (a club he co-owned) to the Warehouse District.

Tickets to see Nicky Siano play St. Petersburg’s Graffiti Gallery on Saturday, June 22 are still available and start at $15.
