Lucky Stars



Outside of the Academy of Music with Kaci & Amy

Northampton, and the Valley in general, is filled with many very talented and creative people. (I've been singing with one of them for the past three yearly shows at Transperformance.) 



Adam & The Ants (2018)


Johnny & Edgar Winter - Woodstock (2019)


For 2020: The theme was "Live Aid 1985" and I was chosen to play Judas Priest with our duo Bigger Stars.


 


        
         


Thank my Lucky Stars! I was able to perform with three fun and gifted singers in three different groups. Transperformance is a wonderful concept, that has done great work for the past three decades raising money for the arts in local schools. Is it any wonder the town is home to so many fine talents?




This year, the show had to be forced to record in a super safe manner (Meaning: No Crowds)
but things came out nicely in the end. 




Two of the groups chose to pre-record their sets, but I ended up being the first act to go on live. 
It was just as nerve wracking as playing in front of a thousand people with no safety net. 
But it was every bit as fun. 


  
I hope next year we can get back to playing in front of crowds again, and I can start making a living as a musician like before. In the meantime, I have great memories to look back upon.
