A Great Big World Performing With The PS22 Chorus Kids Will Warm Your Heart

If you’re not familiar with the PS22 Chorus get ready to be sucked into a YouTube vortex of watching all their videos for a few hours. PS22 is a class of 65 ten year old kids from Public School 22 in Staten Island, NY. Gregg Breinberg is the director of the PS22 Chorus and has won awards, gone viral, and made music magic by teaming up these public school fifth graders with some of the biggest names in the industry.

The latest video is with Ian and Chad from A Great Big World. Who will be playing our Star 99.9 Michaels Jewelers Acoustic Session on July 12th at Little Pub in Fairfield. They performed their new single “Younger” with the kids. It’s amazing.

Watch John Mayer’s Wacky New Video For ‘New Light’

Fairfield’s hometown boy John Mayer put out a new song called New Light a few weeks ago. Followed by a music video to go along with it. The video now has almost 8 million views.

It’s quite possibly the weirdest music video I’ve ever seen. It’s so perfectly “John Mayer”. His sense of humor, weirdness, all of it. Never change, John. Never change.
