The Vocal Trash family is made up of five very different, yet like
minded individuals. Each member brings his or her special talents and unique entertainment to
the mix.
This "faith based" group is also proud to point out they are drug,
smoke, and alcohol free. They enjoy bringing a good clean family show,
worthy of the Disney channel to your corporate special events.
Along with the countless performances throughout the year, each team
member has numerous "behind the scene" responsibilities. Steve, the
group's creator, tells us "I don't think many people understand what
it takes to sustain a successful road show, such as Vocal Trash.
Along with the grueling tour schedule there is the booking,
rehearsing, recording, filling merchandise orders, vehicle and
equipment upkeep as well as answering the many e-mails from our loyal
followers."
Kelsey, the teams vocal star, adds "we try and stay accessible to our
fans, they are the heart and soul of our success."
VT's commitment to their fan base is further demonstrated by the
constant interaction and high energy entertainment with them on stage and off. Chris Norwood says, "If we didn't love what we do, it just wouldn't be
worth the long hours. The positive feedback from all of our fans make
it worthwhile."
