Young musical talent winner would like work

Jack Fishback, 2023 ACHS first place FBLA State Talent Show winner, writes, "I'm a 15-year-old self taught pianist, playing the styles of Jerry Lee, Ray Charles, and many more since I was 10. I am incredibly passionate about my music, I hold myself to a high standard (As to not dissatisfy the listener), and I am very proud to be where I am today.

"I've played various places with some amazing musicians, and I want to do more. I want to share my love for music with anyone that I can. That's why I'm asking for help! I am looking for any sort of gig. Whether it be under a bridge or on the roof. I will play with your band, or I'll play by myself." (Click here to view him playing recently at the Big Dawg.
