Last week, Student Union hosted “Union Unplugged” featuring two members of the country band called Cheyenne. The band played original music and top hits.
Guitarist Vincent Mena said playing a duo is a new experience for the band.
Singer Derick Garza said most of their audience is typically middle-aged. He said it is good to perform in front of a different crowd that also enjoys the music.
Garza said the band started in April of last year, performing their first show on March 31, 2023. He said the band has come a long way since then and made a lot of progress.
Garza said one of the greatest moments of performing is when the band is completely in sync.
Program Specialist for the College of Education Jacqueline Gutierrez said she enjoyed every moment of the event.
Student Union Associate Director Sergio Martinez said they try to pick out local artists for Union Unplugged.
He said the performance was a teaser event for Homecoming. All members of the band will be playing this week at Homecoming festivities.
Garza is looking forward to an exciting event.
There are many other Homecoming events scheduled for both campuses.
