Angie Lynn concert

With a sunny disposition and a jazz-queen magnetism, Angie carries an infectious rhythm both on and off stage. Even the aching honesty of lyrics like “your sad eyes get me every time” ring with irresistible toe-tapping momentum, the perfect tipping point between melancholy and euphoria. Angie’s voice carries the warmth and soul of a recording on vinyl: well-traveled, utterly timeless, and carrying secrets and promise in every passing glance. Presented by Student Involvement and Programs.
