Reverb sounds off at Summer Camp

The Reverb Club performed a one-hour concert for the Santa Catalina Summer Camp on July 9. Reverb is a music club for singers and instrument players, started in 2009 by Jaymie Russo.

"The thing I love about Reverb is that each member can be their own artist," Jaymie says. "They get to choose the songs they want to perform, and can also share music they wrote." 

Reverb plans on performing more concerts this coming year.
