In the Towerlight article, 'Getting Higher' in Paws, Lauren Slavin reported on musican Matt Nathanson's performance in Paws on a Friday night.
The venue was packed with 500 fans, who might otherwise have fit better in the Towson Center. However, it wasn't available due to basketball season. The Campus Activities Board (CAB) sponsored the event and CAB programming chairs Medallada and Ryan Grasso worked together to book the more well known artist for Friday Night Live.
Danni Rosner was the last minute opener replacement for Erin McCarley, who was unable to make it. She received positive responses from the audience although she was lesser known.
Nathanson reflected on the college aged audience and was unsure of why he was so popular. The concert atmosphere in Paws was unlike that of most venues.
"I feel like college-aged kids are so wide open, that's when music is really effective, no matter if it's me or whomever [singing], you're wide open and ready to receive a soundtrack to your life," Slavin quoted Nathanson.
The student body showed great enthusiam for the Matt Nathanson concert.
My Opinion
I agree with this article. My two roommates attended the concert and one of them was quoted in the story. They described it just like Slavin reported. The concert generated big buzz around campus and provided a inexpensive and fun thing to do on a Friday night. Nathanson was the clutch source in this article and added important depth to the story. The only thing I can think that should have been included is any upcoming events that CAB will be organizing. It would serve good advertising for the group.
