Nick Hakim & Honey Oat @ Memorial Chapel

Friday 8pm

Facebook Event

Born in Washington, D.C., singer/songwriter and producer Nick Hakim grew up in a household overflowing with musical diversity and cites influences ranging from Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, to Madlib and MF Doom, to South American folk and DC punk. His debut project, 2014's Where Will We Go, Pt. 1 (EP) and Where Will We Go, Pt. 2 (EP), released through his own imprint (Earseed Records) went on to earn critical praise from NPR and The New York Times.

Feb. 14, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- The music of Nick Hakim occupies a space and time that is faintly out of this world. The guitars and machinery that make up his music feel slightly askew, as though someone slowed down the tape machine every once in a while.

Honey Oat

Admiring traditions of jazz, funk, and Shona music while pulsing with post-genre nuance, the duo of old friends known as Honey Oat is drawing silk diagrams of oblique time through sound.

Sloppy Jane

Sloppy Jane are a NYC-based band with a new album out! They come to Wes fresh off of a tour with Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst (aka Better Oblivion Community Center) and they bring back a familiar face….

blooper is a flirty pop band with flair (NOT a meme)

The Garden / The Draculas @ 200 High

Saturday 10:30pm

Facebook Event

The Garden

Since 2011, twins Wyatt and Fletcher Shears have been playing as The Garden. They come from Orange, CA, and create their music with the philosophy of “vada vada”: free expression without boundaries. Their latest release, Mirror Might Steal Your Charm, features warped guitars, punky drums, and campy effects to boot.

The Draculas

Declan Moy-Bishow ’19 and Marcus Kener ’19 take stage presence to an 11 with forceful vocals, chaotic instrumentation and guerrilla-style performance.
