Zisa, along with his band members, one of whom happens to be new High Tech faculty member and professional fiddle player Jacob Lawson, played an evening of Rankin's songs at the Triad Theater.
Rankin, whose song "Peaceful" happened to be a hit for Helen Reddy, died at the age of 69 on June 7, 2009.
In addition, Zisa invited High Tech alumnus Camila Paquet (Class of 2017), currently a sophomore at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, one of the most prestigious schools for musical theater in the country, to sing back up with him.
