A Great Big World & PS22 Chorus are ROCKSTARS!
After turning out a magnificent cover of the brilliant song, "Say Something," the kids of PS22 Chorus were treated to a visit from the fantastic gentlemen of A Great Big World! The two groups joined forces for a couple of smashing performances, starting with a powerful version of the aforementioned hit originally performed with Christina Aguilera! Chorus member Alyssa gave her seat to band member Chad Vaccarino and shared the piano bench and soloing duties with Ian Axel and did a knock-out job! Then the adrenalin kicked in for an unbelievable version of "Rockstar" that featured some seriously cool three and four part harmonies! After we did the two songs we planned, the guys taught the chorus a part for their song, "I Really Want It!" AND we also had a fun impromptu jam with Ian on our friends' The Mowgli's song, "San Francisco!" Check out all four of the amazing performances below!!
Wonderful to see the great response the videos have gotten from the likes of The Huffington Post, Perez Hilton, PopCrush, VH1, and even MTV Buzzworthy! Our "Say Something" video was #1 of the Top 10 entertainment news pieces on the televised Showbiz Tonight! We leave you with some fantastic pics courtesy of Mrs. Johnson and Ms. Lisa (our videographer)! More pics can be found on our Facebook page!

The SINGING Dead ft. Emily Kinney!!!
Such a thrill to have the opportunity to make music with Emily Kinney, aka "Beth" from The Walking Dead! We adore her character on the show, her voice, her new EP EXPIRED LOVE, and most impressively her down-to-earth good nature! One of our favorite visitors ever for sure -- so much fun "talking dead" with her!! Didn't realize there were so many Walking Dead fans in the PS22 Chorus!! Check out an absolutely chilling rendition of "Hold On" (by Tom Waits) and then her appropriately titled song, "Masterpiece."
Check out more fantastic photos of Emily with PS22 Chorus courtesy of Mrs. Johnson! (More on our Facebook page!)
