Our goal for this show is to make it entertaining and surprising for our audience.  Don't expect there to be 40 solo performances, one after the other.  We're going to change things up a bit with duets, trios, small groups, and an exciting group of songs.

Thanks Meghan Tonjes! From "Ellen" to MMVS.


Yesterday a group of highly dedicated singers nestled in to MMVS to talk to Mike Falzone about how to build a fan base with today's social networking platforms: youtube, facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc.   One of the biggest lessons he gave us was how to interact with others through these platforms.  What seems like common sense can be terribly enlightening when you realize how many opportunities to connect with others pass us by on a regular basis.  It's hard to imagine how to actually get thousands of people to care about whatever content we put "out there."

Then Mike said "I have a surprise for you."

The next thing we knew, we were Skyping with youtube celebrity Meghan Tonjes, who was recently flown out to the Ellen Degeneres show TWICE.  The first time was for an interview/live performance on Ellen's show.  The second time was to meet her idol, Adele, and listen to her soundcheck.

Meghan had great advice for everyone who is just starting out, and it relaxed us to learn that she didn't get started with a bunch of fancy cameras and film editing software.   Meghan has more than 100,000 youtube subscribers and her channel has something like five million views.  We can't thank her enough for taking the time to talk to us and give us words of inspiration.

She reiterated Mike's #1 lesson:  If you respect your fans and show people that you are a real person, you will have fans (and friends) for life.

Meghan + MMVS = friends for life.   We <3 you!
