'My Music' producer is looking for the next old-school star

Are there young people out there who want to be an “oldies star”?

TJ Lubinsky, the Cranberry-based producer of the PBS My Music series, is betting that there are, so he is looking for The Next ‘50s & ‘60s Pop, Soul and Doo-Wop Star for a national PBS special in 2022.

“If you’ve ever wanted to be an ‘oldies’ pop, soul or doo-wop star,” Lubinsky says, “this is your big chance to be seen nationwide.”
