Anna Jepson is one of the student performers playing at Friday’s Noontime concert. Students take over Noontime By Karina Yiicel COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER The Student Programming Association’s Noontime Concert Series will be taken over by students showcasing their musical talent Friday in the HUB-Robeson Center. Carolyn Lederach, SPA’s Noontime Concert Series chairwoman, said seven acts will perform at the show. Each of these acts is new to the Noontime Concert Series, Lederach (senior-advertis ing) said. “We are going to extend the time for the concert. This week the concert will start at 12 and finish at 1:30,” Lederach said. Lederach said the Noontime committee tries to do a student concert every semester. The committee started the student concerts last fall, making this the third concert she added. There are going to be four solo acts and three bands, Lederach said. Performer Sam August said his music is a mix between southern rock, country and “straight up rock ‘n’ roll,” with some fun gui tar work thrown in. “I did a lot of performing in high school with my band,” August (freshman-classics and ancient Mediterranean studies) said. “I have a blast playing with the band. Here I’m sitting here and playing guitar by myself. But I just want to play in front of people.” August said he has been looking for some where to play since he arrived on campus. He said he heard about the Noontime audi tions, tried out and was lucky enough to be selected. Brian Kilkelly was also eager to be one of the few selected to play the show. “I’m really excited. It’s going to be really cool, I think,” Kilkelly (junior-psychology) said. Kilkelly said he usually performs with his band, but for this performance he will be per forming solo. “My music could be considered alt-rock,” Kilkelly said. “I will be playing guitar, some originals and maybe a Johnny Cash caver.” Singer-songwriter Anna Jepson will also perform as a solo guitarist. Jepson (senior-integrative arts) said she recently released her original EP at Irving’s, 110 E. College Ave., and is looking forward to performing on campus. “I would describe myself as acoustic pop,” Jepson said. "A lot of people say I sound like Colbie Caillat or Taylor Swift.” Evan Whildin, guitarist, pianist and vocal ist for The Had Knots, said he is looking for ward to the band’s performance on Friday. Whildin (sophomore-science) said The Had Knots is a relatively new band, starting at the beginning of the semester. The older members had started recording an album over the summer and realized they needed more members and equipment, Whildin said. The band grew out of the recordings, he added. Whildin met lead guitarist and saxophone players on his floor in Beaver Hall, while the other members are friends of friends. Whildin described The Had Knots’ music as a mix of modern and vintage rock. The three other acts include solo artist Richie Hume and bands Unbodank and The Moro’s.
