This one may be a little biased, since I set up and ran sound for this event, along with DJing in between sets. Spring Arts Day is an annual festival put on by Messiah's Student Activities Board featuring live music, food, games, tie-dye, and other activities. This year the music was curated by WVMM, Messiah College radio (thus my involvement as a manager).
First up was a short acoustic set from The Legacy of Joseph-Michel Montgolfier, including singer-songwriters Phil Wilmot and Sincerely, Morgan featuring guitar, mandolin, ukelele, and a miniature banjo along with vocals from all three members present. Next was a jam session by singer-songwriter Kyle Morgan (vocals and guitar), Ethan Lichtenberger (bass), and SAB concert executive Steve Harpine (drummer of Pompeii & the Ashes). They mostly improvised, though they also covered The Beatles' "Come Together" and another song I didn't recognize. Following the jam, my fellow United Voices of Praise tenor Bro Calvin did a short set of gospel music with his brother. After a long break, Cole Cash came on to end the show, playing their brand of progressive rock. Bassist Michael Helms is one of my fellow philosophy students and occasionally joins me in jam sessions at the radio station. Though Cole Cash was not exactly a crowd favorite, probably due to their different sound and lyrical content, their between-song banter, story-telling, and intensity made it an interesting show. Expect upcoming Homeboy Music profiles on several of these.
Here's a video of Bro Calvin performing at Coffeehouse a while back featuring a verse by my man Ben Stolz (aka Prodigy of the Street Disciples):
