The Youth and NAMM

Written by Erik Niewiarowski

 

The best experience for me at NAMM this year were the young performers on our stage.  Paul Green’s School of Rock showed the possibilities of educational outreach.  Cole Marcus, the amazing drum prodigy proved that he can lead a group of seasoned musicians, and by far, the most amazing performance of the entire weekend was the Trouble with Boys. These kids tore up our stage, and brought people to our stage and impressed and amazed every single person in the audience.  Watching these kids made me realize how powerful music can be.  They just wanted to play, they don’t care about the money, fame, and other things that some people are focused on.  It seriously made me wish time travel was possible…. 

These kids are awesome, check them out right now!

ok, good talk!

My son is in the band, The Trouble With Boys, I would like to take this time to thank say you are correct. These guys don’t do it for money,in fact they came from Southern Indiana to play this show for free. Many of their shows are for charities and they have brought many smiles and hope to sick and recovering children and that makes it all worth while to everyone involved. Thank you for your time and compliments, Mark Lucas and The Trouble With Boys!
