🔍The Jeff (Ow!) Andrews Memorial Scholarship - Jeff Andrews lived and breathed music. Whether he was delivering earth-shaking metal screams, writing unforgettable guitar riffs, or sharing his excitement for new bands, his passion was contagious. Though he never quite shook his stage fright, Jeff’s performances were legendary—full of energy, theatrics, and heart. He loved discovering and promoting new music, always eager to introduce others to sounds they had never heard before. This scholarship honors Jeff’s lifelong dedication to music by supporting a young musician who is ready to explore, create, and find their voice at YEAH! Rocks Music Camp. For this scholarship, in a minimum of 250 words, tell us about a musician you admire who expresses themselves with passion and confidence. How have they inspired you to take creative risks, explore new sounds, or find your way of expressing yourself through music?
