Former MEGADETH Guitarist JEFF YOUNG Performs AEROSMITH Cover; Video Available

May 11, 2009

Video footage of former MEGADETH guitarist Jeff Young and female singer Twinkle performing a cover version of AEROSMITH's "Seasons Of Wither" for a festive little group of pre-schoolers at a Save The Music-type event can be viewed below.

Commented Young: "I've wanted to do a cover of AEROSMITH's 'Seasons Of Wither' since I was a little kid playing along with 'Get Your Wings' in my bedroom, every day, after school. I knew I didn't want to have a guy sing it cause Steven Tyler can't be duplicated but when I met Twinkle, I knew I had finally found the voice that could do the song proud."

Twinkle was born into music and has great back story which includes backing-vocal credits on ROD STEWART's multi-platinum "Vagabond Heart" album, live duets with Paul Rodgers of BAD COMPANY and a stint as vocalist with former ALLMAN BROTHERS guitarist Dickey Betts.

An intriguing and related preface to this story happened when AEROSMITH played in Florida. Also on the bill was Lenny Kravitz, who couldn't make it for some reason, leaving AEROSMITH stuck without an opening act. Long story short, a mutual friend en route to the venue volunteered her friend and passenger, Twinkle, to open the show. So, without her band, solo with just her voice and piano, Twinkle was introduced by Steven Tyler to a packed arena where she proceeded to bring the house down!
