Concerts @: The music is heating up!

We know you've missed the awesomeness that is live music in Uptown, so we're coming back for yet another Concert @ Quadrangle. Don't worry, to answer your question- we missed you too. Join us on May 14 as we welcome long-time supporters of YnC, Watching Cars.

The brainchild of brothers David and Collin, Watching Cars is a unique blend of homespun roots and understated pop that will have its listener unknowingly whistling melodies the next day. Both boys, Texas born and bred, grew up on a steady diet of Beach Boys, Beatles, Chicago, and James Taylor, paving the way for their love of indie pop artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Iron & Wine, and Pedro the Lion. Out of influences like these and a rigorous background of classical and jazz training came the duo's characteristic sound.

Watching Cars is a band that consists of brothers Collin and David Gouldin. For years the two enjoyed playing together in the rock band Ben Zephyr and decided that it was time to step out on their own. As David puts it, “there's nothing quite like being in a band with a member of your family. We have this unspoken musical connection between us that I haven't been able to find with anybody else.” With all the chemistry that siblings have, it just made sense that after Ben Zephyr, the two would come back together to work on their own project. The result is a well crafted set of tunes which highlight both the brothers' unspoken musical bond and the quirks of their individual personalities.

We will also be presenting some great information from an amazing organization, CLASP International. A little about them:

C.L.A.S.P. (Connective Link Among Speech-language pathology Program) International is a program that allows certified Speech-Language Pathologists to go into international countries where speech-language pathology is not practiced and provide graduate training to the natives of that country. The goal of the program is to provide self-sustaining programming that allows each country to pass along training to future speech-language pathologists.

As always, the night is free and the food and drinks will be there waiting. We're looking forward to seeing you soon.
