HISTORY:
The original concept for Transperformance was for local bands to take on the persona of another established, nationally recognized act and perform, or Transperform, their bands style. The acts that are chosen are done thematically, such as Transperformance 22: Food Groups (Heather Maloney as Amy Winehouse) or Transperformance 17: Color By Numbers (Primate Fiasco as Pink Floyd) or Transperformance 23: Beyond Bob (Rusty Belle as Bob Dylan). Over the years Transperformance has evolved and tribute style performances have become acceptable, if not the norm.
