Transperformance 2012: Rick Murnane as Brownie McGhee

Best known in the Valley for songwriting, guitar work, and vocals in the pop rock realm, Rick Murnane is spending 2012 performing regionally in support of his critically acclaimed solo album “Wednesday Child,” released this January. Born in Northampton, Rick lived elsewhere for much of his life but returned to the area in the 90s.

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!
