Benny Lava formed in 2009 during an impromptu cocktail party jam. Their mission is simple: pack dance floors and get booties shaking. Benny Lava is Matt Fuller on vocals and guitar, Tony Jillson on drums, Kirk Woodring on bass, Robert Speth on keys, and Melissa Carreira on guest vocals.

Transperformance is an annual fundraising event jointly presented by the Northampton Arts Council and the PTOs of the four Northampton elementary schools, J.F.K. Middle School and Northampton High School. The PTOs use funds from Transperformance for Arts Enrichments Programs, and the Northampton Arts Council uses some funds to provide a second round of funding that supports the work of many local artists and performing groups. This year’s theme was Food Groups. Enjoy!
