Beatnik Ball finds 'new sound' in student

By Ellie Fairbanks
elairbanksakykernel com

Josh Rupp was looking for a
sound he hadn't heard on carn—
pus before.

“We found some guys who
play really chilled out music."
said Rupp. director of concerts
lor the Student Activities Board.
'We wanted to find something
like this that would be some—
thing totally new to UK."

Rupp thinks he found inst
that.

This "totally new“ sound
\sill come from Tyrone Wells. a
soul and pop singer from
Spokane. Wash and UK l'resh-
man Wes Meek.

Rupp found Meek. who \\ ill
open the shots. on My Space
when he was looking for acts
that might compliment Wells.

“1 was looking for a regional
opening act on My'Space." Rupp
said. "I just kind of found Wes
and saw that he went to ['K and
‘iad a sound that fit the l'eeling
Al the show.“

When Meek agreed to be the
ipening act for Wells. he was

Bambi \s

excited but didn't realize how
big of a deal SAB's Beatnik Ball
actually is. he said.

“I just kind of agreed (alter
Rupp contacted him \ia er
maili." Meek said. "I‘m really
stoked. but I didn't knots hots
hig ot~ a production this all is."

Meek said his acoustic iiiu
sic is not the typical "col'tee
shop” sotiiid that people might
be used to. He said it ysas a
soult'ul. pop»rock feel and he
considers himself the musical

. child of James 'l'ay lor and Stey ie

Wonder.

"It‘s inst me putting eyery»
thing I've got into my music."
Meek said. "Coffee-shop music
tends to hate a sappy feeling to

This is the month when everyone u ho is
