The last act of the semester: State Radio to perform Friday

State Radio will play a free show in Dunn Meadow from 7 to 10 p.m on Friday.

Before the 5 p.m. show in the IU Arboretum there will be an acoustic jam session where the public is welcome to participate. Following the jam session there will be autograph opportunities. Local band The Main Squeeze will be opening for State Radio.

The student organization Business Careers in Entertainment Club organized the event in support of Addicted to music, which is a non-for profit organization that helps people with drug addiction problems.

Donations will be accepted and proceeds will go to an IU Foundation account that helps IU students go through rehabilitation treatment. To learn more about the cause there is a featured documentary on areyouaddicted.org.

Front man of State Radio, Chad Urmston, was formerly a member of the popular independent band Dispatch, which broke up in 2002.

The rock/reggae trio State Radio is known for its focus on community service projects and voice for human rights.

The public should expect a full stage production accompanied by a big turnout of die-hard State Radio and Dispatch fans, be it rain or shine.
