Teen Rock Band Ready to Roll Havin A Great Time Tour on the Roadthis...

Female-fronted teen rock band, the Jessica Prouty Band (http://www.JessicaProuty.com), is set to invite existing fans and new fans to Have a Great Time with them at fairs and festivals, state parks or camps, and other venues this summer. While doing a brief tour last summer around the release of their first full-length CD, Saving My Sanity (http://www.jessicaprouty.com/jpband/Lyrics/tabid/65/Default.aspx), at the Hard Rock Boston, this year'ss tour is more extensive and should give the band a feel for what it would be like to devote their life to music. From family-friendly agricultural fairs that include midways, harness racing or pig scrambles, to a high-tech amusement parks like Six Flags New England, this band entertains with a mixture of clean on-pitch vocals, blues guitar riffs, melodic keys, and a metalesque double bass kick drum. Whether on grass, sawdust, or stages with lights, this band is ready to invite fans to discover them, have a great time, and help write the story.

When asked about the tour, Jessica Prouty said, Whether it is a one-day gig or a three-day gig, we get to meet a lot of people and have a lot of fun.

I can'st wait for long drives, too much fast food, and playing my drums as much as possible, added Cam Pelkey, this is my dream summer.

Jess and I won a scholarship to Berklee (http://www.berklee.edu/summer/) last summer and I took Guitar Sessions, but this year we all won a scholarship. We are going to be doing the Stage Performance Workshop together. I can'st wait to see how we step it up a notch, declared Cody Nilsen, guitarist.

We'sre touring from Connecticut to near the Canadian border. We are trying to play as far as possible from home during the summer with the good weather. Is there a better place to go on tour than New England in the summer asked keyboardist, Andy Covino.

In thanks to the fans who go to multiple dates, the Jessica Prouty Band will give each fan who goes to five stops on the tour a commemorative Havin's A Great Time band backstage pass. Fans can also follow the tour on the Havin's A Great Time Tour Blog. (http://www.jessicaprouty.com/jpband/Tour/tabid/75/Default.aspx)
