The band played original music and top hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guitarist Vincent Mena said playing a duo is a new experience for the band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p> \u201cIt\u2019s our first time doing a duo gig like this,\u201d Mena said. \u201cUsually we have a four or five piece band, so this is a first, but it\u2019s a lot of fun being here at UTRGV.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garza said one of the greatest moments of performing is when the band is completely in sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019d say my favorite thing is when all the band is locked in,\u201d Garza said. \u201cSo, when the whole band is locked in you feel the stage start feeling like a trampoline. That\u2019s the best feeling in the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Program Specialist for the College of Education Jacqueline Gutierrez said she enjoyed every moment of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI think it\u2019s beautiful how they have it set up,\u201d Gutierrez said. \u201cIt feels like a little cozy corner where you can listen to beautiful music.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Union Associate Director Sergio Martinez said they try to pick out local artists for Union Unplugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThe idea is to highlight students or alumni that have performed here or have a connection,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cAnd show off the talent that we have in the RGV in a different format, like this band we have today, Cheyenne. At least four of the members are all UTRGV alumni from the School of Music.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the performance was a teaser event for Homecoming. All members of the band will be playing this week at Homecoming festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garza is looking forward to an exciting event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThe stage is going to be shaking,\u201d Martinez said.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many other Homecoming events scheduled for both campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about events visit, utrgv.edu\/studentactivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Pete Mendoza for Vaquero Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pete Mendoza Last week, Student Union hosted \u201cUnion Unplugged\u201d featuring two members of the country band called Cheyenne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":6698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,34],"tags":[606,27,44,194,26],"class_list":["post-6697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brownsville","category-entertainment","tag-606","tag-brownsville","tag-news","tag-spring","tag-utrgv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
