One of our team co-leaders, Ruby, hand picked a few gems that’ll be sure to catch your ear, performing in the upcoming weeks: “Of Montreal are pretty “out there” but make some really fun, really interesting music. Definitely worth checking out on September 13th if you haven’t heard them before.”

Secondly, “Luisa Maita makes some eerie, beautiful, tunes in the “world music” genre that always make me want to stop and listen. She is definitely going places, so be sure to catch this show on September 26th!”

From more obscure genres to mainstream rap singers like Waka Flaka Flame, Higher Ground has it all! Mel said, “I was really looking forward to Waka Flocka Flame on September 1st. Why, you may ask? Well, I can’t think of an artist more opposite to my taste in music, and not only am I learning to branch out into different genres, but I was looking forward to what was probably the weirdest night of my life.”

Fraser, one of UVM Bored’s photographers is excited to attend Atmosphere and Brother Ali on November 11th. “These two outstanding hip hop artists have been influential in the evolution of hip hop and know how to put on an awesome show!”
