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!

Formed in 2009 during an impromptu cocktail party jam, Benny Lava features the talents of Matt Fuller (vocals, guitar), Tony Jillson (drums, sequencing and vocals), Kirk Woodring (bass, vocals), and Robert Speth (keyboards, vocoder). Their mission is simple: pack dance floors and get booties shaking. This dance party band spreads their boombastic-ness with subwoofers and tequila shots. With help from Melissa Carreira on guest vocals, this epic performance will be off the hizzy.
