Music Industry Club had its first fall event last Wednesday, titled “Rhythm and Brews.” The event took place at Tim Hortons’ The Spot. The place was packed with students, sound equipment and even the campus television station, WNYF-TV.
Junior Aidan Licker of The Otherme opened the show with just his acoustic guitar and a mixture of hip hop and alternative rock. He performed many original songs, as well as a montage of pop hits from throughout the years.
Licker also opened up for former Dance Gavin Dance lead singer, Jonny Craig, last month.
Sophomores Jorian Holka and Mike Tomasulo performed with Holka on guitar and vocals and Tomasula on percussions. The group admitted that they mainly play rock songs but chose to mellow it down for the night. They played acoustics of popular punk rock bands including Sum 41 and Green Day.
The last group of the night was Gabby, Vaughn, and Kate. The members are junior Kate Gratson, sophomore Gabby Carr and alumnus Vaughn Faison, who were all on vocals. Faison also played guitar. The group brought soul and pop to their popular song covers including a Michael Jackson melody and hits from Drake and Beyonce. All of their voices blended perfectly together, making the songs their own.
Rhythm and Brews showed only a small percentage of talent that Fredonia has to offer. The part that made the event most successful was seeing students come out to support the bands that were performing.
