I discovered some beautiful new music tonight. This weekend is EMU's springfest and tonight there were bands playing. The last band was Trent Wagler and the Steel Wheels. I had heard about this band before - they play at EMU relatively often, and several of their members graduated from EMU. I had never heard them before tonight...and now I am a dedicated fan.
I told one of my friends that probably one of the best things about going to a school south of the Mason-Dixon line is the music. I will let you decide for yourself:

I went back to my room after they finished their concert and went straight to google to see if they had youtube videos. They played all of these songs (among many others) and I couldn't decide my favorite so I put up the links for all of them. You should *REALLY* listen to at least one video. Just imagine sitting on the steps below the plaza outside the Campus Center - probably 200 college students sitting outside in the dark, listening to bluegrass/folk/blues music. People clapping, talking, enjoying the last Friday of the school year before finals and graduation. Oh, what a beautiful night.
