"Hootstock returns to FAU for a night of free music"

Hoot/Wisdom Recordings is teaming up with Owl TV, Owl Radio and the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs to host Hootstock, a free event that promotes newly signed Hoot/Wisdom music groups. The concert will take place Friday, Feb. 19, in Parliament Hall from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
“This is the first official event hosted by us in conjunction with Owl Radio and Owl TV,” said Alejandro Sanchez-Samper, associate professor of music and faculty supervisor at FAU.
This year’s event will feature four new artists to the Hoot/Wisdom label — two solo acts and two bands. DJ Aroy from Owl Radio will be the opening act.
The solo acts consist of two DJs: Xander James and Equus. Yardij, a female-fronted alternative rock group, and Stoic City, an alternative rock band with classic rock roots, will be the two promoted groups.
Hootstock events previously took place outdoors or in The Burrow Bar and Grill. This year, the event will be held in Parliament Hall as Theatre Lab is now allowing it access to its space.
“We’re always trying to showcase our artists. Theatre Lab owns the venue, if we have a good turnout, hopefully we could be there every week with our artists and call it Music Monday,” Sanchez-Samper added.
Station manager of Owl Radio, David Gordon, said, “We’re really just trying to bring awareness to our artists, a lot of people on campus don’t know about the label. We finally have a good venue, in the past the turnout has not been good.” The senior commercial music major is also the president of Hoot/Wisdom Recordings.
This event is free of charge, open to the public and will have free pizza. - University Press

Bio

‘Stoic City’ is a Rock band based in South Florida.

Rock is an expansive genre, but Stoic City’s sound is peppered with influences ranging from the blues to funk.  This gives the band’s music a fresh yet connected-to-the-roots sound.

 While most of our music is written in English, we do have some songs where we tie-in Spanish lyrics and/or rhythms.  The members of the band are all descendants of immigrants, from Peru to Brazil.  So, we often add those influences of our traditional music into the mix to add to the uniqueness of our sound.

 You can catch the band performing at venues and spaces across South Florida. The band also takes an acoustic set-up to smaller venues. We’ve played stages from small self-organized parties to medium-sized local club stages to large local fair/festival stages.

 Playing live, we also make an effort to get the crowd involved by singing along, and even joining us on stage, creating an interactive and memorable live music experience.

 Fame and fortune don't mean much to us.  Our success is defined by how well our music leaves an impression in the minds of those who go to our shows.  

We play this music because we love it.  Jam with us!
