Pittsburgh-local band Merce Lemon had a great crowd, and an even better performance at the festival. After they killed it on stage, I snagged them for a bit to talk about their experiences as a band, personal opinions on music, and most importantly, fruit preferences.
Among electric performances from acts like Westhead, Evan Wright, and more, Ed Winn seemed to stand out as a highlight for many. He performed at 3 PM, following a very energetic set from Callejera.

On Friday, March 8th, 2024, I was able to attend the Strokes, NNAMDÏ, Beach Bunny, and Uwade concert for the Chicagoan congressional candidate Kina Collins on behalf of WIUX.

After months of dreary weather and bleak midwinter, it feels like all hope is lost in the world, until that first day of spring and we find that this too, shall pass. The creatures that are college students will step outside of their humble abodes, and take in the sun. These few sunny days have me reaching for my spring playlist so I wanted to share a couple albums to add to your spring playlist this year.

On Sunday the 11th, we witnessed a thrilling overtime win for the Kansas City Chiefs, earning their 3rd Super Bowl win in the past five years.
