Concert to Take Place as Part of Earth-a-Poolza

Three different artists will perform as part of Student Government and SAB’s collaborative event, Earth-a-Poolza, April 26 on the quad.

Starting at 5 p.m., indie rock band Silvertongue will take the stage. Originally formed in Massachusetts by frontman Andrew Stevens and guitarist Jake Hogan, Silvertongue moved to Portland, Oregon, where they met keyboardist Mel Boell and drummer Joe-Henry McQuary. With a sound that began with folk influences, the band has since expanded to incorporate elements of pop and dance, creating a diverse catalog of adventurous, “Garden Indie” songs that blend the organic with the electrifying.

At 6:30 p.m. Brooklyn-based indie rock band, Pom Pom Squad, will perform. Led by vocalist and songwriter Mia Berrin, Pom Pom Squad emerged in 2015 and quickly gained attention for their raw, emotive sound and poignant lyricism. Originally conceived as a solo project by Berrin, Pom Pom Squad evolved into a full-fledged band as she assembled a talented lineup to bring her musical vision to life.

At 8 p.m., almost monday will take the stage to close out the evening. This San Diego pop trio burst onto the music scene in 2020 with their hit single “broken people” from their debut EP, quickly climbing the alternative radio charts. The band’s live presence grew significantly with appearances at major festivals such as Lollapalooza, BottleRock and Firefly, and performances alongside notable acts such as Kings of Leon, AJR and Dayglow.

As part of Earth-a-Poolza tabling and other activities will also take place earlier in the day from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on the quad. The second half of the festival with begin at 4 p.m. with concerts starting at 5 p.m.
