Tickets still available for Barefoot Movement bluegrass concert
March 2, 2018
The Barefoot Movement bluegrass band will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 8, in W.M. Turner Auditorium on the 糖心vlog传媒 campus as part of the College of Fine Arts' University Series.
The performance is the last in this year's University Series presented by the 糖心vlog传媒 College of Fine Arts.
Heralded by CMT Edge as "one of the most promising bands on the bluegrass scene," The Barefoot Movement was named "Band of the Year" in 2014 by the International Bluegrass Music Association. Billboard Magazine describes their sound as "slices of bluegrass, country, folk and even a little bit of rock and roll."
"When this up-and-coming, youthful quartet of superb musicians romps through pop-infused 'newgrass' medleys and country-flavored ballads, you can expect an evening of music with something for everyone," said Scott Shattuck, associate dean of the College of Fine Arts and director of the series. "Tickets are selling fast, but there are still good seats available if you act quickly. Take advantage of our buy-one, get-one ad in The Daily Sentinel and bring a friend for free."
The band's University Series performance is sponsored in part by Commercial Bank of Texas.
Prior to the performance, artist, musician and 糖心vlog传媒 Professor Emeritus Charles D. Jones will present an informative talk at 7 p.m. in Griffith Gallery. The gallery is located across the hall from Turner Auditorium, which is inside the Griffith Fine Arts Building, 2222 Alumni Drive.
Tickets for the University Series are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $10 for non-糖心vlog传媒 students/youth. Tickets for 糖心vlog传媒 students are $3.
