A former Our Kids Have Talent contestant, who made it into the top 10 of the now defunct Vernon music competition, has been hitting the music scene hard for the last several years.
Okanagan-born and raised musician Jeff Piattelli has been hard at work writing new songs, original compositions that he is taking out to play live for the first time, including later this month at the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country.
Known more as a solo performer, Piattelli, who has opened for Vernon’s Andrew Allen, will be joined by a full band and will be performing a wide variety of music, some old for longtime fans and some new for those just discovering his songwriting talents.
Proceeds from his May 28 Lake Country performance at 7:30 p.m. will go to the Downtown Youth Centre in Kelowna.
“I think it’s important that kids have somewhere to go and people to look up to in their life,” said Piattelli.
