ENTERTAINMENT nior Wynne McCaskell was in the front row. “A bunch of us went early and got right up front,” McCaskell said. “We got to meet Charlie Sexton and the band after the show. It was great.” The spring semester started with a bang when Pam Tillis, a 1993 Grammy nominee performed for a full house at the Walton Arts Center. Tillis, who played her own unique mix of country with hints of rock and rhythm and blues, delighted the audience with her cutting edge country style. Junior Steve Murphy said the Tillis concert was definitely worth seeing. “Tillis crafted a perform mance that was inviting to people of all ages and musi¬ cal tastes,” Murphy said. “During the show, several children made their way to the stage to greet the coun¬ try star, one of whom pre¬ sented her with flowers.” Suzanne Vega and Kitchens of Distinction played at Doc Murdock’s on March 2 proving it was more than merely a country and western bar. Senior Jody Rodgers en¬ joyed the show. “Vega is a lot cuter in person than on MTV, that’s a first,” Rodgers said. “During ‘Left of Center’ off the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, I felt like I was fourteen.” On March 24 Travis Tritt rolled into town and put on an exciting show in Barnhill arena. “It was a very entertaining show,” junior Julie Harkins said. “He brought more of the audience to their feet in Barnhill than any other performer has before. It was a great show. I would not have missed for the world.” From country western to rock — entertainers kept rockin’ the Hill. “Tillis crafted a performance that was inviting to people of all ages and musical tastes.” ■ Junior Steve Murphy 26 Student Life
