The 12th Jam Music Festival hosted by MSC Town Hall will provide students a day of music free of cost before final exams. Life and arts editor Jack Riewe spoke with some of the festival’s performers about their expectations for the festival.
Due to weather concerns, the festival has been moved to Rudder Auditorium and will still take place from 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday. Because of the stage restrictions, the previously scheduled student performers will not play.

We’re super pumped to be playing with Cherub and Sphynx, they’re two of our band buddies that we have played with before, so this will be a fun reunion. So we’ll get everybody pumped up and excited to see them. Playing for college kids is the best because college kids know how to party and we like to party too.”
