This weekend, the youth mentorship non-profit "Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada" is collaborating with multiple organizations to provide six young teens an opportunity to create an original song and music video.
They are doing so on the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.
The bus is equipped with high end music equipment, and organizers with the project are showing the teens all of the opportunities that exist withing the music industry.
"Path development, that is a big part of the purpose of the bus, to show kids that there are many other jobs that are available in allied industries, it is not just about the star that's in the center of the stage, there are also audio, video, production people, photo people," said Brian Rothschild, Co-founder of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.
The producers and engineers will be guiding the teens throughout the entire process.
Each teen is able to contribute in multiple ways and learn new skills along the way.
For one of the teens, this opportunity has been a unique way to learn more about of one of his passions.
"I love guitar, but I haven't really had the motivation or time to play guitar, and I feel like playing guitar with others and meeting someone like Jeremy Renner who I see as very passionate about guitar and music is a big inspiration for me,"' said Ian.
On Monday, everyone working on the song and the music video will be able to showcase it for the public during the opening night of the Artown Festival at the Wingfield Park Amphitheater.
