Three bands, each with one or more members from Youngstown State University, will perform in the End of the Semester Rock Fest at University Pizzeria on Friday.
Junior Kyle Daley, member of the rock ensemble Mr. Kyle, said the event is a celebration of the established music scene, as well as "a strong thank you to all of the YSU students who have made University Pizzeria what it is today."
Bands performing include Mr. Kyle, blues/rock ensemble Acoustic Juggernaut and solo guitarist and vocalist Kevin Rosan.
Besides playing on campus, the bands are seasoned performers.
"Each act has played paying gigs ranging from $50 to $500 in Northeast Ohio as well as Western Pennsylvania," Daley said.
Senior Bobby Wolff of Acoustic Juggernaut said he is looking forward to school ending just like anyone else, but most of all hopes "just to have a good show."
Wolff expects the event to be "pretty packed."
Rosan, a senior at YSU, said the event will end with members of each group forming a five-piece band and coming together "to play a few cover songs that the crowd will know and have fun with."
The End of the Semester Rock Fest begins at 10 p.m. with a $5 admission fee. Special Guest MC for the Evening is Viking Jim of WNCD 93.3-FM The Wolf.
