By John Shirley
The Lifers focus on lively blues, rock and funk... with a smidge of punk. For this show they'll be throwing in some festive holiday tunes as well!
The band includes John Shirley (faculty: vocals), Miguel Landestoy (alumni: keyboards), Matt Pantanella (alumni: drums) and Mike Giordano (guitar). As regular bass playing Lifer, Chuck Gabriel (faculty) will not be able to join. Three of his bass students will be sharing those duties throughout the night: Stav Tzortzis, Ben Costantini and Glen Njeru. There will also be numerous guest performers, including current students Lucas Brown, Connor Leno, Nevaeh Nelson and Olivia Barrows as well as alumnus Evan Smith, and special guest Susanne Hershey.
Come eat, drink and take part in the fun; with no cover!
