In addition to running this blog, I am the Special Events Director at Indiana University's radio station, WIUX 99.1 FM. The station is purely student run and has been near and dear to my heart since I first moved to Bloomington in 2007.
WIUX's annual kickoff show is this Friday at The Bishop. It will be the last time I get to put on one of these shows, and I want people to be aware of the concert and celebration of the beginning of what is going to be a great school year.
The show is FREE, 18+ and will be featuring three awesome bands: Elephant Micah, Pillars and Tongues, and The Elegant Bachelors.
Elephant Micah, who has been heralded by the likes of NPR, is an Indiana-based folk singer-songwriter who plays music in the vein of Mark Kozelek and Bonnie "Prince" Billy. O'Connell has opened for Jason Molina on various occasions and enjoys cult status amongst a great deal of the modern folk audience. In other words, he's kickass.
