Alpha Nu Alpha Nu Mashup Mashup Imagine that song you love to sing in the shower being broadcasted and sung across the world. Taking the stage in front of screaming fans and traveling the world sounds like something that everyone has dreamt of. Jack Harris and Ryan Corman, Alpha Nu (Ohio State), realized that dream by performing at the annual Wonderstruck Music Festival in Cleveland, Ohio. Even as students, they are still looking to achieve their dreams both as a group and as individuals.
The two Ohio natives took the stage in Cleveland, a little over two hours from their home in Columbus. Wonderstruck began in 2017 under the name, LaureLive. It became Wonderstruck in 2019 as one of the more popular music concert series for natives and tourists alike. The two-day event offers more than just music from local talent. It is a pick-me-up for the community, especially in the trying times of the past year and a half. Some of the artists that Corman and Harris performed alongside were feature artists and bands like Walk the Moon, Third Eye Blind, Lennon Stella, Tate McRae 6 || FALL2021

and many others. Jack Harris, lead singer and guitarist teamed up with his fraternity brother Ryan Corman, whose stage name is DJ Anto. The aspiring artists performed several songs, including their own single, “Thousand Degrees,” which is available for streaming after its July 2021 release. Harris has been around music his entire life in many ways. “I sang in school choirs, took piano lessons, played violin and drums,” he said. It was that longtime support that pushed him into a production and performing capacity. When Harris began to play guitar in high school, he finally began to realize his potential, and his journey started to take a unique turn. Many gamers reminisce trying to recreate their favorite tunes with friends on titles like Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution. Harris drew inspiration from another popular game, Garage Band. These times with friends that usually just become stored in our memory banks became the beginning of something special for Jack Harris.
