John, with the help of Randy and Sue Bresee, owners of Snaps, has hosted a live music performance for the past three months inside Snaps Coffee House and Wine Bar playing rock and roll from the '80's and 90's...much to the joy of the 40 something crowd in town.
While John's passion is in the music, his heart is in promoting talented youth of the community. He uses this venue to highlight the variety of musical talent within the young community of Copperopolis. At each intermission youth that have spent time with John rehearsing, learning the equipment and showing commitment sing, play and entertain.
Friday January 6, 2012 was no exception with Jordan Strauch starting off the teen line-up playing guitar and singing some old, some new and some original songs. At one point he was accompanied by Shaelan Kelly on the keyboard, adding her own vocal style. Hannah Pfeiffer wowed the crowd with her clear voice and charming smile as she sang a Taylor Swift ballad. As the evening continued Michael Impink made an appearance to serenade the crowd.
While the teens held the floor and the audiences attention, John sat back and reveled in the accomplishments of his protege's as they performed.
The event that was to end at 8:30 continued on into the night as the fireplace setting on the patio warmed those daring enough to go outside and John's choice of music made dancing almost mandatory for those inside. Sue and Randy happily poured from their excellent selection of wines and beers, whetting one's whistle between sets, and adding to the merriment of the evening.
As the name implies, the live concerts will be held the First Friday of each month at Snaps in Town Square. As the weather warms the concerts will move outdoors.
If a talented youth in your life would like to become involved in performing during 'First Fridays' please contact John Campanella at https://www.facebook.com/pages/John-JC-Campanella-ROCK-SHOW/178130322208423.
