Boy Band Heads to Isesaki

and needs your help!
Update: SuperCharge will not be going to Isesaki in August, 2011. Please see their statement regarding cancellation and donations towards this trip.
The band Supercharge will take their act international, as this group of Springfield 12-to-14-year-olds have been chosen to represent SSCA in Isesaki, Japan. The group of four boys: Ben Grosser, singer and bassist; Sam Holmes and George Timson, guitarists; and Brock Cantrell, drummer got their start in their elementary school talent show at Eugene Field. In just a short few years, the group has become the talk of the town and has created quite a following.
They have made two CDs, “DEMOcracy” and “Life,” and even earned “Best Local YouTube Video” in 417 Magazine with their self-filmed and edited music video, to Jets, “Are You Gonna Be My Girl.” They perform music falling under classic and original rock, influenced by Van Halen, KISS, Led Zepplin, Rush and The Beatles.
These boys feel strongly about giving back to their com- munity and have enjoyed playing at many local fundraisers and events, such as the Kitchen Fun Run, Day for Kids Concert, MDA Stride & Ride, school functions, Springfield Art Walk, Cider Days, McSalty’s Pizza, birthday parties, churches and many other venues.
They are looking forward to being young ambassadors for Springfield, learning about Japan and bringing some of that culture home to Springfield when they return.
Supercharge needs your help! They have already had two successful fundraisers — a pizza buffet and concert at McSalty’s and a pancake breakfast at Applebee’s, but it costs a lot to send a whole band to Japan. Please make any financial donations to SSCA in their name.
Supercharge upcoming show dates
- 12.31.10 Canvas210 – First Night/New Years Eve – 315 South Avenue
- August 2011, Isesaki, Japan Music Festival
