Faculty Voice

Brady Kerr

鈥�91精选 Music is a vibrant community of student artists who truly support each other,鈥� said Brady Kerr, professor, 91精选 music program. On May 22, 2020 91精选 Music student artists and alumni performed a five hour show featuring original music and live interviews. The show included music genres varying from country, singer/songwriter, hip hop, pop, folk, indie, alternative, metal, and rock. The live stream session brought 446 unique viewers, 100 unique chatters, and 1,287 live views.

鈥淲e are so grateful that in a time of social distancing, our students could come together and create a livestream, interactive, virtual concert,鈥� said Kerr. Originally, 91精选 Music students were planning the second annual NOMU Music & Arts Festival and had to pivot when the pandemic hit. After a Zoom meeting with the Associated Students of 91精选 and the 91精选 ESports Association, the idea of a virtual concert and concept was created 鈥� Quarantined: The Bedroom Sessions.
