Transylvania professor Scott Whiddon teamed up with UK music professor Kevin Holm-Hudson and EKU communication professor Jim Gleason to create “Songs from Quarantine,” a two-volume album of instrumental music responding to our current climate.
Thanks to the prompting and examples set by his fellow students — in addition to a music class, access to the school’s recording technology and learning the guitar — senior Austin Lamb recorded an EP of four original songs, which have been streamed nearly 3,000 times on Spotify, Apple Music and elsewhere.
Transylvania University’s ‘Cabaret FM’ will bring the feel of a radio program in front of a live audience to Carrick Theater on Friday.
Transy students spend their Monday evenings at the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center helping produce the show, which airs on 537 radio stations across the globe.
