America’s Future Rockstars Perform in Seattle

Guitar teacher Rob Hampton has convinced me that every city needs to have open mike nights for the ten-and-under crowd. It’s a perfect idea–adults grab a drink, sit back and revel simultaneously in cuteness and awesome music, while kids get the exhilarating experience of performing for an audience and getting rewarded for hard work.

After I stumbled upon a completely addictive video of five-year-old Wesley performing Johnny Cash like an old pro, I discovered lots of other awesome performances from that same Coffee Shop Jam in Seattle, Washington.

Emma gets professional backup on her original “Snowday,” sure to be come a schoolyard classic. And nine-year-old Connor gets the crowd cheering with his original heavy metal. Honestly, these kids are amazing. It’s great to see young talent being celebrated and nurtured.

You can watch more kids rocking out here.
