| The Accidentals along with the student orchestra, The Kaboom Collective, will perform in Canton Aug. 12. |
Featured performers will be multi-instrumentalists Sav Buist, Katie Larson, and Michael Dause, a Nashville-based, critically-acclaimed trio currently touring with The Kaboom Collective, a 40-piece student orchestra. They are performing in concert throughout the U.S. to promote their collaborative album called "Reimagined," which was released earlier this year.
A partnership was formed between the two groups when Liza Grossman, conductor and director of the Kaboom Student Orchestra, reached out to The Accidentals about recording one of the group's songs. The Accidentals provided basic tracks and Grossman's students scored, arranged and recorded 10 Accidentals songs alongside industry professionals. Following release of the album, the groups went on tour allowing the students to learn about tour management, sound engineering, merchandising, stage crew, hospitality, promotion, marketing, press, and more.
The Kaboom Studio Orchestra is a Hollywood-style industry ensemble that performs and records all of the music at Kaboom. From video game soundtracks to studio albums; from animation scores, to live performances, students in the Studio Orchestra work closely with each other and a team of professional musicians, educators, and producers to bring new works and productions to life. Musicians aged 15-25 work under the tutelage of award-winning educators.
The inception of The Accidentals began when Larson and Buist met in their high school orchestra and became a band after witnessing an immersive workshop by two women that played the same instruments they did. After 10 years as a band, multiple major and indie label deals and touring over 5000 live shows and festivals, The Accidentals started their own non-profit called Play It Forward Again and Again to provide opportunities for students to experience the inspiration that launched their careers.
This special summer concert is slated to begin at 7 p.m. at the Heritage Park Amphitheater, located behind the Canton Administrative Building at 1150 S. Canton Center Road in Canton.
