Solo artists Jason LeVasseur and Meg Allison will perform at the Student Union Starbucks tonight at 7:15 p.m.
The event is sponsored by the Emerging Leaders and is free to all University of Akron students.
LeVasseur is an acoustic/folk, rock/pop, singer/songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee who plays the guitar and is signed with Authentic Records.
He is currently the 2009 Small Venue Performer of The Year in Campus Activitities ® Magazine’s Readers Choice Awards.
His light, upbeat lyrics and songs are perfect for a relaxing night accompanied by a chai tea latte.
Songs range from fast-paced to a comfortable acoustic melody and can be heard on MySpace at myspace.com/jasonlevasseur.
Live songs are also available for listening and just as good, if not better than the recorded version.
His current album is titled Live in Lyndonville, and has 17 tracks.
LeVasseur has opened up for bands such as Maroon 5, The Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer.
Allison is a singer/songwriter from Nashville who plays the guitar and keyboard and whose music primarily sounds like a pop-country mix.
As a top 10 finalist on Nashville Star, she immersed herself into the music scene and has received the award of Newest Rising Star of 2008 in Campus Activitities ® Magazine’s Readers Choice Awards.
Her music is smooth, catchy, self-relating and fun.
A touch of country twang is accompanied with each song, but is done so elegantly and so that even those who don’t favor country music would still find an interest in her music.
Wish You the Worst, which is a light, but slightly angry song is catchy and can be heard on the radio.
A song that has less twang, and deeper meaning is Have That Again, which is accompanied by male vocals.
To hear Allison’s sweet, melodies visit her MySpace at myspace.com/megallisonmusic.
Her new EP is also available on cdbaby.com and is titled I’m With You.
LeVasseur will continuing touring at college campuses until April 20 and make two additional stops in Ohio at Edison Community College on Feb. 23 and Heidelberg University on Feb. 25.
