Fridays on the Lawn is Back!

Come join us next Friday, April 12th, at 6pm for WKNC's final installment for the semester of Fridays on the Lawn. It's going to be a grand ol' time with two incredible indie rock acts: Lonnie Walker and Oulipo. Fridays on the Lawn is WKNC's free outside concert series. It will be located on Harris Field in front of the Witherspoon building.

Lonnie Walker, who played for WKNC's 45th birthday party last year, is returning from some recent time off and we couldn't be happier. Lonnie Walker started out in Greenville, North Carolina and songwriter Brian Corum later relocated to Raleigh with his band. They have since played a countless number of shows including at Hopscotch Music Festival and have really made a name for themselves in North Carolina's local music scene.

Oulipo, a young band from Raleigh, has also played for Hopscotch Music Festival as well as WKNC's Double Barrel Benefit X. The band is signed to local label DiggUp Tapes and describes themselves as being in the art pop/ rock genre. Oulipo has been compared to Panda Bear with their synthetic vocals and very abstract pop sound.
