FESTIVAL FEVER A RUNDOWN OF THE BEST FESTIVALS THAT ARE ONLY A DRIVE AWAY JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 7, 2016

estival season has arrived. That means it’s time for sleepless weekends, endless dance parties and plenty of festival attire. Whether you’re a fan of dubstep, country, alternative rock or indie music, there is a show to satisfy all your friends. At College Times, we spare no genre. Here’s a rundown of the biggest and best music fests.
Coachella is the Mecca of music festivals. Over 20 years ago, it began in Indio, California, as a way to protest venues being controlled by Ticketmaster. Today, the pricey music fest is a favorite among celebrities and has featured hot names in the music industry such as Madonna, Kanye West, The Strokes, Nine Inch Nails and more. When is it: April 15-17 and April 22-24 Where is it: Empire Polo Club, 81800 Avenue 51, Indio, California (approx. five-hour drive) What kind of music: Multigenre including rock, hip hop, indie rock and electronic dance music. What to wear: Coachella’s style can be described as boho-chic, a mix of bohemian and hippie influences. The weather starts to get hot in Indio around this time, so pack comfortably and carefully. Girls, think off-shoulder camis, floral dresses,

COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL
fringe-covered everything, crossbody bags and a hat to shade you from the sun. Guys, try out a loose floral button up, a brimmed hat, printed tank tops and comfortable jean shorts. Basically, anything goes at Coachella, but your first priority should be comfort. What to bring: You’ll need to stay hydrated throughout the weekend. Even though you can’t bring water or food into
the festival, pack a container for water to fill up at the water fountains. You should also bring an extra pair of socks and shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs and an emergency first-aid kit. You might want to bring your phone charger to capture all the excitement, and don’t forget to pull out cash, so you don’t have to wait in line for ATMs. How much is it: $399-$899 Who you’ll see: This year’s line-

the-top, the better. Anything vibrant and out of this world is accepted and encouraged. This is the one time of the year where you can dress in ridiculously risqué costumes with 400,000 other like-minded people. Ladies—think neon and UVfriendly. While a tank top is fine, the most common form of top at EDC seems to be a custom-made bra covered with fur, feathers, lights, flowers and everything in between. Bottoms range from tutus to skirts to bikini bottoms. Headgear like flower crowns and wigs are also a staple. Guys, feel free to go crazy with your ensemble as well, but most dudes go with glow-in-thedark face paint, rave tees, neon sunglasses, colorful shorts and light up accessories. What to bring: Please don’t forget your ticket! It comes in a big box in the mail, but somehow people always forget it at home. Also remember to bring your ID; you can’t get in without it, and you also can’t drink without it. Being in the desert also means you’ll need Chapstick—sealed, of
course. Also, bring a container for water or a CamelBak. There will be refill stations available at the fest for you to fill up. Lastly, don’t forget some earplugs (the music is definitely loud) and some comfortable shoes, because you’ll be on your feet from dusk until dawn. How much is it: $355-$699 Who you’ll see: While the lineup for this year wasn’t posted, headliners for EDC Week include Nicky Romero, The Chainsmokers, Afrojack, Armin van Buuren and more. Which friends to bring: Those crazy, colorful, EDM fanatic friends who don’t mind splitting a cheap Vegas hotel and staying up for three whole nights, dancing to music that almost breaks the sound barrier.

EDC is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, which means the party is going to be bigger than ever! The Electronic Daisy Carnival is a literal threeday carnival at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway that goes from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. EDC includes eight music stages, a ton of carnival rides, interactive art installations and costumed performers like stilters, aerialists, dancers and more. You can see all your favorite headliners in one place, hang out with your “festie bestie” and dance the night away in the desert. When is it: June 17-19 Where is it: Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 7000 N. Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada, (approx. five-hour drive) What kind of music: A mixture of EDM including house, dance, electro house, dubstep, trance and more What to wear: At the Electronic Daisy Carnival, the more over-
up includes sets by Ellie Goulding, Of Monsters and Men, Zedd, Ice Cube, Halsey, Calvin Harris, Zia, Guns N’ Roses and many others. Which friends to bring: Your free-spirited pals who are willing to spend some cash, are into any kind of music, willing to chill with you all weekend and don’t mind the heat.

COUNTRY THUNDER Country Thunder is a fourday celebration of all things country and is a staple in Arizona. Along with seeing your favorite country music artists, the music fest has plenty of other attractions like mechanical bull-riding, thrill rides, hot air balloons and the Electric Thunder dance party. Multiple campgrounds are on site for festival goers who want to turn the weekend into a full-fledged party. When is it: April 7-10 Where is it: 20585 E. Price Station Road, Florence, Arizona (approx. one-hour drive) What kind of music: Country music What to wear: If you’re at Country Thunder, then you have an excuse to be as country as you want. There are plenty of acceptable looks for a country music fest. Ladies can rock a lace dress with cowgirl boots or
STAGECOACH
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 7, 2016
Stagecoach is the highest-grossing country music festival in the world, and it has only been around since 2007. While music is a huge part of the weekend, there are plenty of other attractions such as the Honky Tonk Dance Hall, a Ferris Wheel, the Toyota Thrill Ride & Drive for some off-road driving and much more! When is it: April 29-May 1 Where is it: Empire Polo Club, 81800 Avenue 51, Indio, California (approx. four-hour drive) What kind of music: Country, folk, bluegrass, alternative country and mainstream country What to wear: Like we’ve established, Indio is a very hot place, especially in May. As far as costume goes, think Country Thunder but with warmer weather. Many ladies wear tie-front shirts, red, white and blue bikini tops with a button up, shorts and some cowgirl boots. Dresses fit the scene but might not be as 10 comfortable. Guys go all out with
plaid button-ups, jeans, boots and cowboy hats, but have been seen wearing swim trunks, sunglasses, bro tanks and American flag-themed clothing. What to bring: Most importantly, your wristband, sunscreen and cash. The only way to get into the fest is your wristband, so it’s essential that you have it. While you can’t bring your own water in, you can bring an empty water bottle in to refill at the “hydration stations.” We also suggest earplugs, sunglasses and broken-in boots since you’ll be standing all day.
How much is it: $299-$899 Who you’ll see: The 2016 lineup includes Carrie Underwood, Haley Georgia, Lee Ann Womack, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, The Band Perry and many others. Which friends to bring: Since this is like the country equivalent to Coachella, bring your friends who are country music fans that don’t want to seem too mainstream. These are the eco-friendly hipsters who still want to have a good ol’ time listening to some country all weekend.
a plaid shirt, shorts and boots. If you’re in a patriotic mood, you can choose a full Americana with red, white and blue tees and crop tops. Fellas, a T-shirt, tight jeans, cowboy hat and boots will make you feel right at home. However, if you want to be a bit more comfortable, opt for cutoffs and a tee or tank with your favorite country song quote, beer, camouflage or USA theme. What to bring: Because this is a camping festival, you can bring along whatever camping essentials (beer and whiskey) you need if you plan on staying the whole time. Other things include PLENTY of water, food, sunglasses, sunscreen, toilet paper, a tent, a portable phone
charger, a camping stove and whatever else you think that you’ll need to survive the weekend. You should also bring a jacket or poncho just in the case the weather takes a turn. How much is it: $50-$550 Who you’ll see: The lineup for 2016 includes musicians like Kip Moore, Jake Owen, Florida Georgia Line, Casee Allen and Eric Church. Which friends to bring: Your friends who LOVE country music, beer and camping. They have to be OK with sharing a tent, drinking booze, singing along to country music and roughin’ it for four days all to see their favorite country music artists in one place.

Vans Warped Tour is definitely the most affordable and accessible on our list, but it has a lot to offer. With top headliners like Yellowcard, Mayday Parade and The Summer Set, the Vans Warped Tour brings rock, punk and metalcore fans together for one epic day at an amazing price.
What to wear: Those of us who have survived an Arizona summer know how hot it gets here in August, and that means you have to dress accordingly. That doesn’t mean you can’t wear a badass outfit, though. If you’re having trouble picking out what to wear, use Hot Topic as a reference. Black tanks, crop tops, smart-assy graphic tees, jean shorts and Vans are ingredients for the perfect outfit. Bring out your inner punk with all black everything for this fest. Guys, your outfits are as simple as a band tee, shorts and some sturdy Vans or Converse.

“What are your thoughts on global warming?” “Well, [I] actually took a class on this. I mean it’s not good and it’s mankind’s fault because we’re not taking care of it. It starts with us and if we don’t do something about it…[it’s] going to get worse.” – RAYMOND LOPEZ, JUNIOR, ASU
“I feel like it’s a problem that not enough people pay attention to. I feel like if more public figures pointed it out, like how Leonardo Dicaprio did, then it would be really impactful.” – MORGAN STANLEY, FRESHMAN, ASU
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 7, 2016

“As far as I know, I don’t necessarily believe it’s fake because obviously there’s always shifts with planets, the sun and everything going on. So, as far as that, yeah, it’s possible that global warming can exist.” – ADRIAN GONZALEZ, SENIOR, ASU
“I think it’s something that if we continue to ignore can become a bigger problem and potentially something that we can’t stop or do anything about.” – TAYLOR CLARKE, SOPHOMORE, ASU
HER
HIM
BRITTANY FORD JUNIOR, ASU
ABDEL JIMENEZ FRESHMAN, ASU
Do you recycle regularly? Why or why not? Not regularly. It’s mostly because I don’t really see a whole lot of recycling bins around when I have something I could recycle. For the most part, it’s only ever trash cans.
Do you recycle regularly? Why or why not? I do at school, but not at home because for some odd reason, we don’t have a recycling bin. We live in these apartments and for whatever reason these apartments have no recycling bins whatsoever. But we recycle what we can. Me and my mom recycle bottles and cans.
What do you do that’s eco-friendly and why? I try not to use too much water. I’m from California, so water conservation is kind of engrained in me because of the drought. I don’t have a car so hopefully that helps reduce my carbon footprint. Do you think Earth Day is important to celebrate? Why or why not? Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t really know much about Earth Day. I mean, I don’t celebrate it personally. I know it’s about conserving the earth and everything, but if I was more involved with recycling I would try and celebrate it and encourage others to.
What do you do that’s eco-friendly and why? I used to take public transportation just to reduce my carbon footprint. I don’t use anything too fancy that’s labeled eco-friendly. Do you think Earth Day is important to celebrate? Why or why not? I think it is important to celebrate, just to remember that we need to conserve our Earth. Just because we only have one of it, and we should take care of it because we only get one chance with it.

ur interns have been working hard this year, but the semester isn’t over just yet. So we asked each of them how they stay motivated during the last part of the semester. Their answers may surprise you!
NICOLE GIMPL The end of the semester is drawing near and I’m starting to feel a little dragged after completing assignment after assignment for my internship and journalism
classes, my general studies classes, working at both of my on-campus jobs, and trying to be a social butterfly. It’s hard, I’m not going to lie, but I’m not going to slow down when I’m so close to the end I can practically taste summer
vacation. To stay motivated, I’m looking beyond my immediate future. This might sound counterproductive but it’s working wonders for me. I think, if I can get mostly A’s CONTINUES ON 15

what to look for in your next apartment NICOLE CHOKSI • COLLEGE TIMES
A
partment hunting can be stressful, especially if you’ve only ever lived at home or in a dorm. It is something that can cause an insane amount of stress, but in the end finding an apartment that fits your needs is extremely fulfilling. There are plenty of things to watch out for when looking for your next apartment. You might be unsure about living with someone or need a place close to campus. Whatever apartment you choose, make sure to mark all of your requirements off your list. Here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for your first apartment.

DISTANCE It’s good to look for apartments that are an easy walk or bike ride from campus if you don’t have a car. This also makes it less stressful if you are running late or forgot something for your next class. Staying closer to campus is also safer too. Odds are, you will have friends that live close to you that you can call in case of an emergency. Additionally, living around a community of people your age will naturally make you more comfortable. PRICE Another thing to look for is if the apartment is in your price range and whether the utilities are included or not. This is a good time to start learning how to budget your finances and seeing what you can afford. Finding a place with included utilities is a huge bonus because it means you don’t have to worry about paying separate utility bills, plus it’ll save you a ton of money. If you want to live alone, your best bet is to find a place where the utilities are included in the rent to keep costs down. ROOMMATES One of the biggest decisions you’ll make when looking for an apartment is whether or not you are going to live with people. The more people you live with, the less your utility bills will be, so it’s always good to consider living with roommates. There are plenty of roommate horror stories out there, so choose your roomies wisely. Just
remember to always communicate with the people you live with or your living situation will become a living hell. AMENITIES A lot of the times, the amenities are the last thing people think about, but they may be one of the most important things. Laundry always has to be done, but it sucks when the laundry room isn’t in your apartment, or at least onsite. Nowadays, most apartments will have a dishwasher in them, but that is something to always check for if you’re someone who hates doing dishes. Also, if you have any fur babies, check to see if you are allowed pets (and make sure there isn’t a weight limit!). Finally, even though many colleges give students access to a gym and pool on-campus, having your own at home is so much more convenient.

good piece of furniture can bring an apartment from drab to fab in an instant. However, on a college student budget, those types of pieces can be hard to find. From side tables to beds or flashy statement pieces like chandeliers or dining sets, there are plenty of options to choose from when furnishing your home.

and a couple B’s then my GPA will be right on track to maintain my scholarship. I will have to spend less money on school and more money to pay for an apartment and head out into a life on my own which in the end, will make me a well-rounded, selfsufficient person! In a way, it’s like a dream board, but without actually putting it on a board. It’s all about my mental state. I try to stay positive in hopes that everything will turn out the way I want it to. It’s a little kooky, but hey, whatever works, right? For me, it’s all about the future, I try not to dwell too much on the present because it will pass so soon and before I know it, I’ll be in the future and I had better be prepared for it. I love planning out my life; it keeps me really motivated
to perform at 110 percent on whatever I’m working on.
ANGELICA CABRAL Motivation is a hard thing to quantify because there are so many different layers to it. For example, I’m motivated to further my education and get a degree, or else I wouldn’t be here at all. So, that’s not a problem. The issue comes with day-to-day motivation. Waking up and dragging myself to class every morning can be hard. So, even though I’m here for the big picture, focusing on the little things every day is what helps me stay motivated through all the tests and assignments. I try to have something to look forward to every
weekend, even if it’s something small. This helps me get through the week, classes and work. A lot of anticipated movies are coming out on the weekends between now and when the semester ends. I love movies so I’ll probably end up seeing one each weekend. I live for those events and try to lose myself in the moment, surrounded by art, music and diverse people. There are little things I can do during the day too. I try to treat myself with something like a Starbucks drink or make time to tune into my favorite television show. I also like to think about all the possibilities that are coming in the future. I look into events coming up at
ASU and check out clubs that sound like fun. I try to get involved in a lot of things that I enjoy so that there’s always something cool to do.
NICOLE CHOSKI It can be really hard to stay motivated when the summer is so close. The last six weeks after spring break are always the hardest for me. I do not want to slack off when it comes to school, but I also just want to be done already. I wake up some mornings and wonder why I am doing all that I am doing and often wish I can be back in kindergarten with my mom waking me up for school each morning. I know that I can’t do that of course, but it’s wishful thinking. So instead, I think of my future. I think of the career, house and family I wish
to have one day. It seems weird to be thinking so far into the future at only 19 years old but it works. I see the light at the end of tunnel and know that with each finished class and semester, I am one step closer to the future I want to have. Naturally I tend to become overworked at times— between school, sorority life and an internship —and I just have to take a break. I tell myself I can watch one Netflix episode and then get back to work. It’s a great way to free my mind to take a break and then I come back more refreshed and ready to keep pushing on. Ultimately, I know that nothing is going to be handed to me in life and that I have to work for what I want to have in the future, and that is the biggest motivation to finish strong and to not give up.

MAJOR CHANGE COMING TO BUS ROUTE
72 SERVICE EVERY 10 MINUTES MEANS MORE STUDENTS CAN LEAVE THEIR CARS AT HOME
V
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 7, 2016
alley Metro is increasing the frequency of Route 72 to offer 10-minute service weekdays between 5 a.m. and 6 p.m. starting April 25. The increased frequency, compared with the current 20-minute service, will be provided between the Tempe Transportation Center near Sun Devil Stadium and Scottsdale Fashion Square near Camelback Road. Route 72 is one of the most heavily traveled in the Valley Metro system. 16 The portion of the route
receiving increased frequency serves key destinations on Scottsdale/ Rural Road such as Arizona State University, SkySong and Scottsdale Fashion Square. ASU students and employees of businesses along the route have been requesting additional service. The improved schedule is made possible by funding provided by Prop 400 approved by voters in 2004. The increased frequency will make it easier for riders to attend school, go to work
and shop at local businesses. More frequent bus service will also help reduce traffic congestion and ease the commute along the busy Scottsdale/Rural Road corridor. Other routes are being evaluated for increased service. To learn more about improvements to Route 72 and other changes
taking effect April 25, visit valleymetro.org/service changes. Download Valley Metro’s trip planning app, Ridekick, to plan your commute on Route 72 and make traveling on public transportation even easier.

ike many an Americanraised child, my early youth revolved around sports. It started off with littleleague baseball; I then added club soccer on top of that for the spring, and once I got to middle school, I joined an after-school tennis program. I didn’t excel in these sports by any means. What’s worse, I remained overweight for many of those years, as if playing three sports did absolutely nothing to improve my health and wellness. (I would later learn that much of my weight problem was attributed to my height, which would increase as puberty kicked in). So I found comfort in my middle school band program. I played the baritone, a “small tuba” that is a member of the brass instrument family. I continued once I went to high school, performing with the marching band in the fall

and wind ensemble in the spring. I joined a local jazz organization, playing bass and even making some money doing so. These were some of the best moments of my adolescence, being around students who found a way to express themselves through music, whatever that music was. There are a lot of people out there with a similar life story. It’s one that often ends too early, once you get into college and attempt to embrace the many changes that come to your life. I understand it: College is a time to focus on your courses, get a job, make new friends and learn about maturity. It’s not really a time to laboriously practice scales on your clarinet, or to spend your weekend doing marching band routines. But that doesn’t mean your music “career” should
stop there. If music was a way for you to responsibly release emotions and exercise creativity, it can become incredibly essential in college. Whether you stay on your past instrument or learn a new one is up to you. There are so many different avenues to play and perform music during college, a lot of them underused and underappreciated. You can jam with friends, join a school club, perform at a house show or record music that you never release. Like all art, there isn’t a right way to do anything. If you feel comfortable with your voice and expression, that’s all that matters. My dad gave me an acoustic guitar one Christmas after I found out my bass would be too large to fit in a college dorm. I learned a couple of chords by playing with him, and soon I was able to learn
more by just studying the songs I liked. Whenever I need to relax, entertain roommates or show coarse talent to romantic partners, I pull out that guitar and sing. Some believe that if you play music you must share with others, but that’s not the case. Music can be an extremely personal form of expression. You can use it to make a name for yourself around your city and to make
some money while you’re at it (I still regret not learning how to turntable before graduation). It can also be a way to bring your friends together and drunkenly sing “Wagon Wheel” too. These can all be positive experiences, broadening your young adulthood and creating a path for you outside of what a lot of colleges force students to follow.

SOUNDTRACK REVIEW: I SAW THE LIGHT
SOUNDTRACK FOR HANK WILLIAMS BIOPIC CHANGED THE WAY I SEE COUNTRY MUSIC JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES
B
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016
efore listening to the soundtrack for the biopic I Saw The Light, I honestly didn’t know who Hank Williams was. I’ve always been infatuated by music from the ‘40s and ‘50s. Music from Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby and many others convey a sense of innocence, romance and an overall feeling of a simpler time. I thought the only genres of music that existed back then were pop and jazz, but thanks to this soundtrack I learned that “cowboy songs” were quite a trend during that time. Looking back, it does make sense—Westerns were extremely popular during the Golden Age of Hollywood. I’ve never been a huge fan of country music, but there was something about the music in I Saw The Light that showed me a genuinely emotional side of the country genre that I learned to enjoy. First off, I’ll start by congratulating Tom Hiddleston and the Saddle Spring Boys for singing all of the Hank Williams songs in the film. Yes, the man who 22 played Loki, with the British
accent, slimmed down and turned on a country twang for this role. He was quite convincing and actually did an amazing job. Second, the songs in this movie either made me want to laugh or cry, sometimes at the same time. The lyrics were authentic and raw, especially when you hear them side-byside with the film. I think the song that hit me the hardest was “Why Don’t You Love Me,” by Hank Williams. When this song is played in the film, Hank is going through a rough patch after his marriage with Audrey Sheppard falls apart.
Even though the song is upbeat and jokey, the lyrics tell a different story. He sings, “Well, why don’t you be just like you used to be / How come you find so many faults with me / Somebody’s changed so let me give you a clue / Why Don’t You Love Me like you used to do.” Williams struggled with spina bifida, fatherhood, alcoholism, drugs, a hectic touring schedule and a failing marriage, so knowing all of this and hearing it with the film made this song even more depressing. It showed just how influential music was in his life.
Another thing I realized with this soundtrack is how much love inspired these cowboys. Songs such as “Please Don’t Let Me Love You,” “Lovesick Blues” and “Honky Tonkin’” were all about love and heartbreak in some way or another. My favorite, however, was apparently a Hank Williams classic. “Hey Good Lookin’” was spunky, good-humored and timeless. The song starts with, “Hey, hey, good lookin’/ Whatcha got cookin’?/How’s about cookin’/Somethin’ up with me?” Hank uses playful lyrics
that probably had teenage girls swooning over him. Seeing he was only 29 when he passed away, young love was a common theme in Williams’ songs, and I absolutely loved the innocence. Overall, I liked the soundtrack. In fact, I kept the CD playing in the car for a week straight after I watched the film. Unlike much of the music we have today, these classic country tunes are everlasting, making them easy for any generation to enjoy. If I were born five decades earlier, I definitely would have been a country music fan.

FESTIVAL ROOKIES LOOK FORWARD TO THE SUN AND THE STAGE IN FLORENCE CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

must-see event in Arizona, Country Thunder has hosted nearly every major artist on its stage in Florence. But at least two acts will make their Country Thunder debut—Cam and Chase Bryant. The festival is known for its party atmosphere and great music for all four days, Thursday, April 7, to Sunday, April 10. Cam wants to maintain that feeling. “You get to know how to reach a group of people who’s really hot and drinking and having a good time,” Cam says. “You want to keep it going.” As much as she wants the crowd to enjoy her, she is yearning to enjoy herself. Cam has been taken by other acts she’s seen at similar events. “I remember standing and watching Kacey Musgraves at a festival and our jaws just being on the ground. I was so impressed with her stage setup. “There’s a reason why they’re at the top of the game.” Cam is no slouch. She is the most-nominated female on this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards with a tally of six. The flaxen-haired singer is nominated for ACM New Female Vocalist and her platinum-certified No. 1 song “Burning House” is up for ACM Single, Song and Video of the Year. The show will air
CAM
at 8 p.m. Sunday, April 3, on CBS. “The nominations are unreal,” she says. “I remember watching the ACMs and thinking about the women who were nominated multiple times. It’s weird that I’m somehow in this. I’m super grateful. “I’m definitely proud. There were a lot of years where my manager and I slept on a mattress and had no money. It makes it really gratifying when people say you’re doing a good job. It feels good.” No stranger to award shows, Cam recently presented a prize during the Grammys in a tight dress. “That was nerve-wracking. My dress was so tight I couldn’t walk up the stairs,” Cam says. “At the last minute, they set me up at the top of the stairs and said, ‘Go, go, go.’” Naturally, said dress was yellow, her favorite color. “I wear yellow every time I’m performing,” explains Cam, who will marry in the fall. “It’s my California sunshine coming through. It’s my positive outlook on things that I can bring along with me everywhere. People seem to be nice to me if I’m dressed in yellow.” Her perkiness even bubbled to the top when she arrived in Nashville and was frequently told “no” by record labels. “I was then going to be a writer,” she says. “My first

publishing deal was a horrible deal. You definitely cry a lot but it’s a blank plate to fill your dreams in.” Chase Bryant Known for his successful debut single “Take It on Back,” Chase Bryant couldn’t be any more excited about Country Thunder. “Yeah, Country Thunder, we’re excited to be out there,” says Bryant, calling from his Nashville home. “I’m a big fan of Country Thunder, but I’ve never played out there before.
We’re really excited about that. Festivals are always a blast, too, but hopefully I won’t drink too many beers in the heat.” Early last year “Take It On Back” became a top 10 single on the Country Airplay chart, which is published weekly by Billboard. “Having my first Top 10 hit ‘Take It on Back,’ and the second one, ‘Little Bit of You,’ that’s still climbing really well is too cool. It’s a moment you don’t forget. I’ve dreamed of that since I was a child. It’s
one of those moments you can’t explain or fathom how it happened. I’ve had a blast with these songs. It’s a pleasure to have them played on the radio.” Bryant is an acclaimed guitarist with a unique guitar playing style, as he is left-handed but plays a right-handed guitar upside-down. “A lot of people don’t understand how all that works,” he says. “I play right-handed guitar upside down and backward. I’ve had a tough time. It

was one of those things that took a while to grasp how it was going to work. I played that way since I was a kid. It’s like trying to speak Spanish backward. Everything is so inverted that way. It’s my own thing and not a lot of people do that.” His talents have certainly been appreciated, given the success of “Take It on Back.” He’s working on a new album. “I’ve been a lot more serious with it lately,” he says. “I’m not sure it’ll be done soon. I’m just trucking away.” Bryant calls the studio his “happy place.” “It’s a fun place to be creative,” he says. “It’s like a canvas, you can throw all these different colors at it.”

Being a Leo means you’re king of the jungle, but since we don’t live in the jungle you can be the king of the couch every Saturday morning and use the remote as your trusty scepter to rule over the TV.

So things didn’t work out with Jon. You don’t need him anyway. He didn’t like going to Taco Tuesday and that’s not the kind of negativity you need in your life.
You’re almost done with the semester, Scorpio. Go crazy this weekend! Yeah, you have that 15-page essay due next week, but that’s a problem for future you.
You still haven’t told your parents about that tattoo you got during rush week. You better tell them soon, Sagittarius. You can’t hide that portrait of Kanye on your back for much longer.
That break up was rough. If you want to sing “Someone Like You,” eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and delete every photo you have together on social media, we understand. But now you’re a free bird, and free birds can fly to Vegas with her girlfriends and drink one of those really tall margaritas to forget about what’shis-name.
