This past December, Rural Soul hosted the debut performance of the Teen Musician Showcase at Upstairs at 111 (above 111 Main Street Restaurant in Greenwich). We were thrilled to feature Second Switch, an original alternative rock trio from Whitehall, NY with special guest Keanen Stark, also from Whitehall.
The TMS series' mission is to offer aspiring young musicians the spotlight at a legitimate GIG! Legitimate, meaning a widely promoted performance, held at an esteemed venue, where the musicians get paid part of the door profits! Maureen Kinsella at Upstairs at 111 has generously offered the use of this beautiful venue for these performances.
Beginning in February, there will be high school-age musicians holding concerts at least once a month as part of the TMS series. Expect separate evenings of jazz standards, bluegrass, alternative rock, and folk between now and June.
Please SPREAD THE WORD to aspiring teen musicians! Here is information from the series' promo flier, as blearily seen above :):
