Well, the kick-off to the Northrop Summer Music Festival was a HUGE success! Thanks to everyone who came out last Friday to join us on the Northrop Plaza for a huge salsa dance party, ending in a conga line that, if stretched, would have run all the way across the mall from Northrop to Coffman!
Up next will be The Tasty Tones this Wednesday, June 12th at noon! The Tasty Tones is an eight-piece horn band featuring University of Minnesota students. On the Northrop Summer Music Festival stage, you will see vocalist Cameron Kinghorn, trumpeters Riley Helgeson and Noah Ophoven-Baldwin, saxophonists Nelson Devereaux and Jason Fabus, trombonist Brandon McQuaid, keyboarder Joe Strachan, bassist Taylor Donske, and Andres Crovetti rocking the beat on the drums. Whether you’ve got a few minutes to spare between your summer classes or a break in your work day, stroll on over to the Northrop Plaza for some funky music ranging from James Brown to Al Green and Michael Jackson to Cee Lo Creen. No need to pack a lunch because Jimmy Johns will serve sandwich samples at the concert.
Check out this preview of the tunes you’ll hear echoing around campus from 12:00 – 1:00 pm, Wednesday, June 12th.
See you there!
(Remember to use #rockthemall13! We will have prizes and more at the concert.)
