Pawling is one of those Hudson Valley towns that sneaks up on you. Drive down Route 22 on a December night and Daryl’s House appears out of nowhere — a 300-capacity club with dining, live music, and a room that punches well above its zip code. If you have not made the trip yet, Friday, December 4th is a solid reason to finally do it.
Back In Black lands at Daryl’s House on Friday, December 4, 2026, with an 8:00 PM showtime. They are an AC/DC tribute act out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and the short version is this: they have been doing this since 2000, they are very serious about it, and the credentials prove it. Live Nation and CBS Radio picked them as the first tribute act to tour the entire House of Blues circuit. AXS TV featured them on World’s Greatest Tribute Bands. Sony Music brought them in to promote AC/DC’s own catalog. 20th Century Fox tapped them to record AC/DC tracks for Napoleon Dynamite and Garage Days.
What makes Back In Black worth the drive on a December Friday is the range. Most AC/DC tributes plant their flag in one era — Bon Scott or Brian Johnson — and stay there. Back In Black plays both, which means the setlist has no floor and no ceiling. Lead vocalist Darren Caperna handles both styles convincingly enough that in 2016, AC/DC themselves auditioned him as a potential replacement for Brian Johnson during their world tour. That is not a marketing line. That is what happened.
