The Crossroads hosted more than 15 musicians at Acoustic Café on Saturday May 14.
“I say props to the music scene at BYU-I. The students here have so much talent and it’s great they have a way to show it,” said Travis Price, a sophomore studying psychology, who has been playing the guitar since high school.
Along with his partner, Alyssa Lemmon, a freshman studying art, Price was one of the many performers in Saturday’s event.
Together they played an arrangement of “Blackbird,” a song originally by the Beatles. The two met not too long ago in a dance class when they learned that they shared an acoustic interest, and the rest is history.
Taking advantage of further events soon to take place, Lemmon said she and Price plan to play in the Disney-themed “Magic Moments,” which will take place on Friday, June 4 in the Kirkham Auditorium.
Other students who shared their talents were Alison Eckersell, freshman studying history, and Christine Wilson, a freshman studying math education. The two are roommates and enjoy playing music in their apartment. When the realization came that harmonizing together was a promising combination, they decided to try out. The two performed “A Voice Calling Out,” a Bethany Dillon song.
There are nine promised upcoming programs, the next being Broadway Review on May 19.
Students can check the university calendar for information concerning tryouts, and for the times and places of these musical shows.
