This school year, the Student Involvement Council (SIC) has sponsored many concerts, and the spring lineup starts off strong with next Saturday\u2019s concert by up-and-coming indie hip-hop artist Connor Flanagan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connor Flanagan will perform at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 21 in Crawford Auditorium as part of his SEASONS tour. Tickets are on sale now and can be found through the QR code below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A concertgoer who attended the fall semester\u2019s Campus Nights tour suggested Flanagan to SIC. \u201cWe try to pay attention to what concert attendees say they would like to see, and Connor Flanagan was mentioned,\u201d Eric Fehr, the student involvement director, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFresh off the release of his ten-track album that tackles anxiety, fear and trusting God through life\u2019s changing seasons, Connor\u2019s music bridges genres, drawing on influences like Macklemore & Toby Mac to Jon Bellion & Mat Kearney,\u201d Flanagan\u2019s website describes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The set list includes a \u201ccombination of both his own songwriting and composing, but also stuff he has produced for other artists,\u201d Fehr said. He has toured with several other artists who have come to Grove, including Strings & Hearts, but this is his first time on campus. His stop here in Grove City is not a school-specific concert, but the college will \u201chelp with ticket sales and serve as a location for his tour \u2014 so members of the community are welcome,\u201d Fehr said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the college\u2019s first time hosting a Christian hip-hop artist. Fehr understands this is a step away from the the student body\u2019s usual musical listening palette, but hopefully, this diversity will strike a chord with a variety of attendees from across campus. Although the genre might be different, Fehr is still confident that Flanagan aligns closely with what Grove City students love to hear \u2014 music with \u201ccompelling lyrics,\u201d which points to \u201cthe good, the true, the beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s love and power are major themes within Flanagan\u2019s discography. As his SEASONS tour website says, \u201cthis isn\u2019t just a concert \u2014 It\u2019s an evening of authentic worship, powerful anthems, and encouragement to pursue the purpose God has placed on your life.\u201d Fehr built on this by painting his ideal concert experience for campus: \u201cyoung adults, teenagers, anyone who is into hip-hop can appreciate (the music) \u2014 and feel like they are known and loved by God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg Colbeck, an indie folk singer-songwriter from Northern Ohio with a background as a worship pastor, will open Flanagan\u2019s concert. These dynamically different artists will share the stage to \u201cseek similar conclusions \u2014 that you are known and loved by God,\u201d Fehr said, and to deliver \u201ca message that resonates deeply with college students navigating their own seasons of growth and calling,\u201d as the website says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flanagan\u2019s show will certainly start this semester off on strong footing, and, as Fehr reminds, SIC is always open to hearing names of potential artists for campus concerts. \u201cDrop us a line if there is someone you would like to see on campus!\u201d he urges. \u201cWe are already working on the fall lineup, and we will have an amazing announcement coming out later this semester!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
