The Jessica Prouty Band is not your average teenage rock band as they have been together as a band for over three years and are about to release their third CD in late June of this year. The band is made up of four people Jessica Prouty (lead vocals), Cam Pelkey (drums), Cody Nilsen (lead guitarist), and Andy Covino (keyboardist). The band has won the “John Lennon Educational Tourbus Daddy’s Junky Music Rockin’ Roland Battle of the Bands” as well as the “Children’s Hospital Boston Notes for the Cure Battle for Best Song” in the past three years. Most recently The Jessica Prouty Band just recently placed second as the best teen band in the United States of America at the National Association of Music Merchants competition sponsored by SchoolJamUSA and held at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California. Jessica Prouty won the best vocals award and Cam Pelkey won the best drummer award, and all four band members received scholarships to the Berklee College of Music summer programs. The Jessica Prouty Band plays around 70 shows a year all over the New England Area and the surrounding states. When they are not playing in shows the band likes to hang out and occasionally throw the Frisbee around.
