Better Than Ezra to play concert Better Than Ezra and Josh Kelley will perform in Weber Chapel Auditorium at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18. The concert is sponsored by the Student Activities Committee.Tickets are available now at the Weber Chapel box office and cost $10 for students and $20 for non-students. Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at noon on Nov. 6. "Students are always saying there's nothing to do. Well, this is a concert for $10," said senior Mike McLean, SAC concert chairman. McLean said that SAC looked at many options and tried to find what worked with the limited dates they had available. They were thrilled when Better Than Ezra and Josh Kelley said they could come and perform on a Saturday night -- unlike past performers who have come on weekdays, according to McLean. Jonathan Miller, assistant director of campus activities and faculty adviser to SAC, said: "We're really excited to have Better Than Ezra and Josh Kelley on campus. The student response has been really positive and we look forward to having them on the 18th," Miller said. Students shared a somewhat mixed reaction to the performance announcement. Senior Crystal Schneck had never heard of either band, but said that she would probably go to the concert because it was her senior year. Sophomore Brittany Bun-ting was unfamiliar with Josh Kelley, but had heard of Better Than Ezra. "I don't have any of their CDs, but I'm somewhat familiar with their music," she said. "I think it's a good opportunity to support the Susque-hanna Student Activities Committee -- and who doesn't like a concert?" Bunting said. Freshman Chelsea Gerard said that she heard Better Than Ezra on the radio, and was looking forward to their performance. Junior Jaquan Barnett said that Better Than Ezra sounded familiar, but that he didn't know any of their specific songs. However, he said that he would probably come out to the concert, "just to be active on campus, support events." Freshman Jessica Garcia also said she was excited about the concert, and planning to attend. She also said she likes Better Than Ezra's music. "We heard they were coming, so we looked them up," she said. The Better Than Ezra Web site, betterthanezra.com, de-scribes their sound as rock 'n' roll. The group currently has two songs playing on the radio, their latest are "Good" and "A Lifetime." Singer and songwriter Josh Kelley is also touring with Five for Fighting, according to his Web site, www.joshkelley.com. He also has several popular songs, including his breakout "Amazing" and the most recent, "Only You." Kelley recently released the album, "Just Say the Word." |
