Hip Hop Artists Bring the Beat (For Free) March 18th
Posted by Charlee Redman on 03/01 at 07:13 PM
Some people have all the luck and talent. Hip hop artist Mike Posner is one of these fortunate people. He’s a senior at Duke University majoring in sociology and business, he recently signed a record deal with Sony’s J Records, and he’ll be performing on Bamboozle and Warped Tour later this year. He’s only 21 years old. His music is fresh, stylistically varied, and never quite you’d expect - not exactly pop, or hip hop, but something drawn from diverse influences.

Bear Rhymes with Woman Review
Posted by Charlee Redman on 10/24 at 09:04 AM
Last Thursday night brought unexpected snow showers to State College, but in the midst of the inclement weather, The State Theatre played host to an evening of Americana roots-rock.
Dawn Landes, a quirky young singer from Brooklyn, opened the show with a slew of songs from her various EPs and upcoming album (due to be released in January). Accompanied only by a percussionist, Landes created a distinct mixture of country, pop, rock, and folk with her acoustic guitar and soulful voice. Landes quickly showed the audience that she wasn’t just another girl with an acoustic guitar and a pretty voice – between songs she swapped instruments for an electric guitar (a theme repeated throughout the night) and quite simply, she rocked out.
