Six students will take the stage tonight as ‘Artists on the Brink’ goes acoustic.
The goal of ‘Artists on the Brink’ is to connect University Union Concerts with the student music scene. This semester’s installment is an all-acoustic show at the Jabberwocky Cafe in Schine Student Center.
The free show, beginning at 8 p.m. will showcase the talent of Brady Clark, Chris DeLorenzo, Liam Farrell, Sterling Proffer, Nick Ramsdell and Alex Savoth, all students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
‘It’s an opportunity to see their peers performing,’ Robinson said. ‘And it’s a grass roots effort to get more involved with the student body.’
‘Artists on the Brink’ began last semester, UU Concerts Co-Director of Special Initiatives Mike Robinson said. The show was initiated to display student talent and expose the community to new and alternative styles of music.
Last semester’s concert debuted with the Syracuse University student band The Luna Ticks and urban poet Brian ‘Sciryl’ Henry from Harlem.
‘It was a mega success, more than we expected,’ Robinson said. ‘We tried to push it through and make it into a whole concert series. We’re going to try to do at least one show a month, pending everyone’s schedules.’
This semester’s line up comes courtesy of Co-Executive Director of UU Concerts and performer Proffer. He was influential in the effort to get a lot of individual acoustic acts. Everyone is very talented in their own respect, Robinson said.
