What do you get when you combine sunny skies, tons of food, herds of people, and some extremely talented performers? I would say, the perfect day! And it certainly felt perfect as Patrice Peris Voice Studies artists took on Faneuil Hall Market place on Sunday, May 17th.

 At the start of the week, it was questionable whether or not the show would go on at all, but it did and was a major success! Artists sang a variety of songs ranging from the oldies favorite, "My Girl" to recent pop smash hit, "Love Me Like You Do," leaving both the younger and older crowds feeling pleased.  The artists’ performances went so well that an older couple Patrice found enjoying the music admitted they had only been walking by, but had decided to stay because they were so taken with the performers. 



Check out more highlights below!

As the first act, Herman Jones did what he does best and took us back to the days of the Beehive hairdos and pink Cadillacs. He sang some classic oldies hits including "My Girl" and "Ain't to Proud to Beg." We cheered him on as the crowd started to gather, and of course, sing along! I mean, who can resist singing along to "My Girl?”

Following Herman, we welcomed newcomer Lexi Sinka to the stage. Lexi made her debut performance to a huge audience.  With her sultry vocals and polished poise, it was hard to believe she was new to the stage!  Her take on "Elastic Love" and "Summertime Love" helped her book another gig in NY!  Yay!

Keeping the momentum rolling, Cate Toole brought her sweet charm and charisma onstage along with a variety of songs including "True Colors" and "Love Me Like You Do."  Additionally, I would like to mention that Cate recently covered “Love Me Like You Do” in the studio and released it to YouTube this past week.

The youngest of the crew, Emalie Kurko, had the audience loudly cheering after her performance of Miranda Lambert's "The House that Built Me."

Next, Kassie Sakhat sang a mix of songs that included Amy Winehouse's "Valerie" and Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down.”  This powerful combination showcased her bubbly personality and powerhouse vocals.

Bringing a bit of southern spice to Faneuil Hall, Melanie Mulrain took the stage with Sugarland's "Stay" and Carrie Underwood's "Good Girl," proving the country music world has yet another sweet and sassy girl to look out for!

Ciara Cargiulo came on next, and I think it’s safe to say that the audience had no idea what they were in for!  By the time fourteen-year-old Ciara had finished her first piece, Jesse J's "Mamma Knows Best," the audience was hooked!  Songs by Jessie J, Florence and the Machine, Paramore, and Christina Aguliera are not easy to sing; however, Ciara’s performance would have made these artists proud.

 
Continuing with powerhouse singers, Veronica Homand displayed her dynamic performance skills to Adele’s "Rumor Has It" and Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful."  She conquered Faneuil Hall with her performance and had the audience singing along with every word.

Performing her latest originals "Believe" and "What if I" (both of which will be released on her EP this year!), friend of the studio and recording artist April Forrest joined the showcase. There is no denying that she is well on her way to having a Top 40 hit!

John Miwanda helped bring the show to a close with a bang!  His take of John Mayer's "Waiting on the World" had ladies in the audience pulling out their phones to capture the moment.  He followed with his acoustic version of "I See Fire” and proved that he has a voice and talent beyond his years.


Last, but certainly not least, was the owner of the studio, Patrice Peris. She debuted her latest single "Walking Away" to a live audience for the first time. The passion Patrice carries is infectious and her love of singing cannot be denied.
