Amazing Arizonans: Danny Zelisko, the man behind Arizona’s biggest concerts

Old-school Arizonans definitely remember Evening Star Productions and its creator, Danny Zelisko.

Zelisko brought so many great shows to the Valley going all the way back to the 1970s. He is a walking history book of music and entertainment.

Now he is making his over 50 years of memorabilia available for auction with “Danny Zelisko’s Closet.” He is donating some of the proceeds to the Joybus Diner nonprofit.

He is a great storyteller. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
