Vivant! Rocks St. Louis and the M.A.M.A.by Harley Jones |
Vivant! provided an exciting concert recently while performing as Guest Artists for the 54th Annual Mid-America Music Association Competitions in St. Louis, MO. The group rocked out on blues and new pop arrangements written especially for the 1500+ young musicians entered in this year's competition. The Marriott's grand ballroom was packed to capacity as the lights dimmed and Vivant! took the stage. Vivant! was received with great enthusiasm, with the audience waving their lighted cell phones and clapping and dancing with the beat. It was a thrilling and fun time for all. Many contestants remarked that they didn't know that accordions could sound like that! Vivant! includes Julie Silfverberg and Karen Fremar on accordion and keyboards, Gail Overly on accordion, Dee Sligar on bass, Janne Silfverberg on trombone and Latin percussion, and Sarrah Cantrell on drums. |
