Good tunes on the way to class

In our own back yard-

I didn't have to travel very far to find good music this week. Bands and solo artists performed at the CUB Lair at the Student Entertainment Board Open Mic Afternoon on the WSU campus Monday afternoon. I was able to talk with the band Genevieve before their performance.


Jordan McIntyre, a freshman communication major and Genevieve's lead MC, said the band's sound is a fusion of rock and rap; his own personal inspiration from heroes Michael Jackson and other well known music legends. The bands leader, Jacob Leon, a freshman and guitarist for the group, said some of the members played together at various functions in high school, often teaming up with McIntyre. The members of the band also include vocalist and freshman communication major Kevin Wolford, drummer and freshman music major James Kasinger, freshman communication major and bassist Zac Reed, and freshman music major and sax player Jonathan Urmenita.

Check out the band's music when they play at the upcoming Battle of the Bands on March 28.
