Justin Locke spent 18 years playing bass with the Boston Pops (as well
as playing in the Boston Opera, and Ballet orchestras). He worked
with such conductors as Arthur Fiedler, Henry Mancini, John Willams,
and Leonard Bernstein. Justin is now an author and speaker. In his
presentation (taken from his book “Real Men Don’t Rehearse”), he will
share a first hand (and generally hysterical) look at what it’s really
like to be a professional musician. Stories will include cannon
mishaps on the Esplanade, kiddie concerts gone horribly wrong, and of
course a story or two about Arthur Fielder!
Justin was recently featured as an "author@google" and in the Boston Globe, and he has also
appeared on CBS Radio, Greater Boston, and Chronicle HD. This is a
fun night you won’t want to miss. Find out more about Justin on his
website, www.justinlocke.com."
