On-campus concert series features Max Indian, Schooner

WKNC's second installment of Fridays on the Lawn, its free on-campus concert series, will take place this Friday at 6 p.m. on Harris Field. Max Indian and Schooner will be performing.

The Union Activities Board, Student Government and the Inter-Residence Council are collaborating with WKNC to put on the event.

According to WKNC General Manager Mike Alston, he wanted to put on an on-campus concert series and WKNC Librarian and DJ Chris Cioffi suggested the idea to Alston in May.

So, Alston and Cioffi went through the WKNC library and, according to Alston, picked out bands that would appeal to college students, that were favorites of WKNC DJs and perform well live.

Last month's Friday on the Lawn got rained out and organizers moved the event to the Wolves' Den but still more than 150 people turned out to  the event.

"I thought it went really well," Alston said. "The people that came had a great time."

I Was Totally Destroying it and Luego performed at the last concert.

Alston said he thinks having the concert in Harris Field will attract more people because it will be more accessible to foot traffic and the weather should be great.

The last concert of the series will  take place Nov. 20. Kooley High and The Beast will be performing. Kooley High will also be performing at this Friday's Design School Bash.
