The Music Monday series is going on 6 years strong- and we pride ourselves with mixing the finest Connecticut performers with the cream of Wesleyan’s music community. This community is rich with talent and success and we’ve picked some winners. The Blooming Youth start with the fine song craftsmanship of Alek Lough, adds his deft guitar work and gilds the lily with the etherial vocals of Emma Daniels.
This is the fall semester Music Monday that you do not want to miss. You’ll probably say you WERE here after the word gets around….
