American Opera, the brainchild of NYC singer-songwriter John Bee, has posted the latest installment in his ongoing series of cover songs, “Warped Wednesday with American Opera.”
This week is a cover of The Wonder Years' "There, There."
American Opera will be out on Vans Warped Tour's Acoustic Basement Stage all summer.
Every Wednesday, American Opera will post a new cover of a song from a fellow 2015 Vans Warped Tour act.
Bee explains, "This summer I’ll be on the Acoustic Basement stage, and in the spirit of that stage and camaraderie amongst artists, I figured I would try to pay homage while putting my spin on the songs.”
He continues, “I’m a newcomer to the Vans Warped Tour so I wasn’t too familiar with a lot of the artists, but after checking out the talent I am even more excited to be a part of the tour.”
