Jake Singing "Higher Ground" - Click to Zoom

This photo is Jake performing with the Eden Prairie, Minnesota School of Rock.  The show was all Red Hot Chili Peppers songs.  He was pretty pshyched that he got to sing vocals during the chorus of “Higher Ground”.  It was a great show and he did incredible as always.

He is a student at The School of Rock Music in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and he is having a blast.  I am too.

I played guitar and bass when I was in high school and would have KILLED for an opportunity to play in a school like this.  Their shows are so well done and the teachers are incredible.  I highly recommend checking them out if you have a musically inclined 8-18 year old.  You can find them at www.schoolofrock.com.

I got a lot of great shots which can be seen in this Flickr set.
