CTE Student Heading to International Blues Festival
Posted On Thursday September 19, 2019
Michael DeLano, a student in Rafael Estrada’s video production and recording arts class at Harkness, will be representing WNY at the International Blues Festival in Memphis, Tenn., in January. This honor was made possible after Michael won the Blues Society of WNY’s Memphis Bound competition for solo artist at Sportsmen’s Tavern in Buffalo at the end of August. Currently, Michael is in year two of the BOCES program where his focus is on audio engineering and artist development and management.
Estrada adds, “We are very proud of him and it is a bit surprising for such a young man to win such big competitions…Michael is one of the most talented students I have ever had the pleasure of teaching.”
