We have a local band featuring an 11yo, you can check out some videos at

Here's his bio...
Eamonn Hubert (lead guitar, vocals): Eamonn is an award-winning 11-year-old guitarist who has been performing publicly for 5 years; he also plays violin/fiddle, ukulele, mandolin, bass guitar, piano, saxophone, and is pretty good on the banjo and drums as well! Eamonn has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and a stutter but he also has perfect pitch which occurs in roughly 1 of every 10,000 people. Settle in for an informative lecture should you happen to ask him about guitars, guitar pedals, dead guitarists, or muscle cars… Eamonn’s #1 is a Fender American Elite Strat, but he also slings a 2019 Blueberry Burst Gibson Les Paul Standard, a 2019 Duesenberg Caribou, a custom Kanile’a concert ukulele, and Taylor and Takemine acoustics. Watch for him on the talkbox pedal and slide guitar, too!
REPORT THIS AD
Eamonn performed at the 2016 NY State Blues Festival after winning 2nd place in the KJ James Memorial Scholarship competition against other kids ages 18 and under.
In 2017, a casting associate for Broadway’s School of Rock the Musicalstumbled onto some of Eamonn’s YouTube videos. He was invited to NYC to audition for the principal child role of Zack Mooneyham– he did great, but they thought he was still a bit young at the time. They kept him on their watch list, and he auditioned twice more before landing the role of swing in December 2018. He had his debut as Zack at the 97-year-old Connor Palace Theater at Playhouse Square in Cleveland on March 13, 2019 before 2,700+ screaming fans, a dream come true. Returning home in June 2019, Eamonn spent 20 weeks touring the US and joined his very talented Broadway peers in wowing the crowds 19 times in several states– what a ride!
