Zulu music inspires small audience at Music in the Museum Concert Series

Zulu music inspires small audience at Music in the Museum Concert Series

Emma Turner September 13, 2017
John Seesholtz and a small student-ensemble sang South African music at the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art Tuesday night. The music was a mixture of praise and protest songs from the Zulu culture. Each piece was related in someway to the art which surrounded the audience. The performance left the room in a state of inspiration and rejoicing.

Jack Johnson’s new album highlights social issues with beach-rock tunes

Emma Turner September 13, 2017
“All the Light Above It Too” seems to question many aspects of the world and within it, human interactions. Each song makes a claim about the current state of humanity, society or the individual and often offers solutions to problems in those arenas. The album was released on September eighth and counts as Jack Johnson’s seventh studio album. Much like the last six, the sounds of this set are easy-going and rhythmic. “All the Light Above It Too” gives off classic Jack Johnson vibes while posing new and relevant questions to the listener.
