Show Up in the Library for the Show’d Up Band

Music in the Library opens its sixth season with a free concert featuring the Show’d Up Band on Thursday, September 29, 12 noon - 1 pm, in the O'Shaughnessy ("Leather") Room of the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library. The Show’d Up Band, a traditional string band made up of UST faculty and staff, plays an eclectic mix of bluegrass, old-time, Irish, and other traditional music, all enhanced with sparkling repartee. Bring your lunch; light refreshments will be provided. Note that the Band normally is found in either the quad or Campus Square on Thursdays over the noon hour playing informal jam sessions – stop by and listen.

Music in the Library provides opportunities for musicians in the UST community to perform in an informal, friendly atmosphere.
