“Never Enough” at Erie County Fair Talent Show
This is my favorite song from “The Greatest Showman”. Enjoy!
I “Mostly” Hit Kesha’s High Note!
In just about any case, “mostly” hitting a note wouldn’t warrant a YouTube video. (unless it’s in the humor / entertainment category) But the fact that the note Callie “mostly” hit was an F6, which is rarely performed live, is YouTube-worthy. There is a lot of hub-bub around that note, which was part of Kesha’s…
DHU Strand Theatre – Jazz Cabaret
Built as a Nickelodeon theater in the 1920’s, the Strand is a tan art-deco style building at 540 Oliver Street in North Tonawanda. If you are just passing through the neighborhood, you would never know the building is home to a quaint, classic venue for local musicians. The setting is informal. Patrons are encouraged to…
Set Fire to The Rain
Matts Music Vocal Performance Team (MMVPT) has played a huge role in Callie’s development as a singer and a performer. 2017 was her first year with the team and we’ve enjoyed watching her grow and flourish among a highly talented group of singers. The 25 kids who make up the MMVPT are more than fellow…
Duet at Ellicottville Stroll the Streets
Callie had a blast singing this duet with Stephen Pitrowski, who is one of her vocal coaches. In addition to singing and coaching the Matts Music Vocal Performance Team, Stephen is a gifted song-writer and music arranger. We loved having the opportunity to host him and his guitarist, Paul Russell, at our Friday night Stroll…
2017 Erie County Fair Talent Show
We had a great time at the Erie County Fair. This was the first year Callie was competing in the 13-18 year old division, which was really fun. There are so many talented kids in that age group! This is a video of Callie’s performance at the fair. She did a fabulous job on Beyonce’s…
Defying Gravity from Wicked
Almost two years ago, we had the huge privilege of seeing Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in Wicked when they performed in Denver. Watching Idina Menzel perform “Defying Gravity” took our breath away. It was awe-inspiring. When Callie and her voice coach, Miss Kim, decided to work on this song, it took a lot more…
Little Mermaid – Middle School Musical
I had the chance to perform as Ariel in my school’s first middle school musical! We had a really great cast and I had the chance to make new friends. Thank you to everyone who made this such a fun experience for us.
NY State Fair Talent Show
I was really excited to have the opportunity to go to the NY State Fair Talent Show! My friend, Olivia, joined me for the first day of the competition. It started raining in the middle of the performance. But I made it to the semi-finals where 80 kids performed on one long, hot day. I…
