The Performers

John Goss It's been a dream of John's to be in a Doo-Wop group since he was a kid listening to "The Nylons". Not only to sing the cool rhythmic base line but the high tenor descants and everything in between. Not to mention the creative opportunities to arrange true classics or write original pieces and then hear them live. John's been performing in choir, barbershop and jazz groups for years, usually associated with a musical production of some kind. He has been seen in numerous professional productions throughout the West including Holland America cruise lines, Boulder Dinner Theatre, Aspen Theatre in the Park, and Aspen's own community theatre. John's also very busy directing and choreographing many local school productions and loves taking advantage of the incredible outdoor activities the Aspen valley has to offer. "Thanks Terra, Scott and Jeff for making this happen.''
 
Jeff Bestic Jeff has been singing since he discovered that music was a great way to meet girls. His brother taught him how to sing harmony at an early age and ever since he has left the melody for others. From the usual school groups to performing at a local theatre restaurant (where he fell in cahoots with Scott and Terra), he can always be had for a song. He is currently involved with the Aspen Chapel Choir, the Aspen Choral Society and as a member of Shemp and the Sour Notes. When he is not working or singing, Jeff is a Captain with the Aspen Volunteer Fire Department.
 
Terra Vestrand Terra came to Aspen in 1976 to sing, dance and sling hash at the Crystal Palace. Since those days she has performed as a solo performer with various local bands and has sung and danced in local theatre productions but her true love is singing in harmony, preferably A Cappella. Along with Debbie Weldon and Valerie Lee, her A Cappella trio “The Mood Elevators” has been bringing music of the 30’s 40’s and 50’s to the valley for 20 years. She is also member of the Dickens Carolers - an A Cappella octet. The best fun of all though is being a member of “The Altitones”. The music is up and happy, and being the only chick in the group, she always gets her way.
 
Scott MacCracken Scott has been listening to and singing Doo-Wop songs practically all his life. One may ask him the words of many an oldie but chances are he knows better the oohs and the wop-wop-wops of the back-up part. Since earning a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance he has sung in a variety of venues from South America to Europe, New York to Aspen. He is comfortable in performing music from Bach to Sondheim and The Fleetwoods to Fleetwood Mac, with such organizations as the Crested Butte Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, New York's Town Hall Series, and Mahatma and the Gondoliers.
