likefatherlikesonWho: Justin Campbell, Sasha Stanford, Autumn MacDonald and Arian Alcott
What: Regouping
Where: Manhattan, NYC
When: After this
As soon as Justin signed on the dotted line to agree to a solo tour which was likely going to coincide with taking Footloose on the road, his management book him into a rehearsal space because he wanted to start strength and conditioning training after his latest hitch in the road. He was over the surgery and physically well again, and he would only get even better mentally once he could work again. It was the weekend, so a good chance to get some of the squad together to hang out for a bit and kill two birds with one stone. Justin needed to start conditioning again and the band were keen to jump on board with at least considering the option they might join him on tour. It would be an excellent opportunity for Violet Rainbows and they could do a lot for charity too.
Of course, it was all still in the very early days. A lot needed to be sorted and assessed and organised, most importantly getting Justin to a fitness level where his doctors and therapists would sign off on his return to work first and the tour down the track. In the meantime, they could have some fun chilling out with music.
Violet Rainbows, the band made up of Justin’s friends who played gig at events for the two charity sister organisations Justin and Sasha were ambassadors for, Shades of Violet and Shades of Rainbow, for young people with mental health and LGBT+ youth facing challenges, respectively. Justin sang with them when he was booked for events, otherwise they shared vocals. Whenever Justin performed, Maryanne and Sash backed him. It was an arrangement they all loved and worked well, especially how close they were as friends. The band consisted of Maryanne on vocals, Shannon on keyboard/piano, Fin on drums, Noah on guitar, and a girl on bass and a guy who played sax and violin, both beneficiaries of the charities and struck up a rapport with Justin on a few occasions (he tended to connect with many beneficiaries who had an interest in pursuing music or acting).
( The new kids weren’t there. He didn’t know them well enough yet to bring them into the fold of the squad and this was all unofficial anyway... )
