Silver City, Nevada - As part of the Resident Artist Program in Silver City's support for young emerging artists, one of the Program's summer residents, Mylo McCormick, will facilitate a 3 day music seminar for teens.
Merit-based scholarships to the seminar have been awarded to three youth from northern Nevada. They will share their favorite music, including their own, and discuss issues connected with trends and compositional techniques. With instruments available at the seminar, plus their own, they'll have a chance to try free improvisation and to create experimental music.
The end product will be the collaborative creation of an original composition by those attending. Attendees will receive a professional recording of their work.
Seminar Facilitator: Now living in Carson City, 16 year old Mylo McCormick was born in Silver City, Nevada. His first performances were with the High Street Band in the 4 towns of the historic Comstock region – Silver City, Virginia City, Gold Hill and Dayton. He learned to play guitar with Will Rose, a Vegas-born singer/songwriter who was the guitarist for the TV shows Taxi and Cheers and worked with the Four Tops, Lon Bronson’s Big Band, The Platters, and many Broadway musicals and Vegas production shows in addition to his own bands such as Red Rose.
Today Mylo is lead guitarist with Mo'z Motley Blues, a Tahoe/ Carson Valley/Reno area "rockin' bluesy funky dance band" that performs everything from originals to covers of Jimi Hendrix, Patsy Cline, Elle King, Dwight Yoakam, James Brown, Meghan Trainor, Prince, Van Morrison, etc.
During his residency, Mylo will also perform during St. Mary's Art Center's opening reception for their summer exhibitions on June 25th, and he'll offer free guitar lessons during Silver City's annual arts and science summer program.
