FEATURED EVENTS Matt Daniel Band

THURSDAY, JAN. 2, 2 P.M. Deike Auditorium

Matt Daniel Band reinvigorates old songs with a new twist. The brothers' duet on keyboard and drums starts off with a bit of ragtime-stride, and then enters the era of swing and boogie-woogie.

They then embark on a rock ’n’ roll frenzy, while explaining the history and icons behind the movement. The performance continues into the style of New Orleans piano - a style with roots steeped in boogie-woogie, gospel, classical and funk, with a slower approach to the blues.

Are there moral topics that are taboo in humor? Join us for a series of DVD lectures on this topic. Each session will include time for group discussion and maybe a chuckle or two!
