Shippensburg University’s Activities Program Board (APB) is proud to present Andy Grammer with special guest Jesse McCartney as the performers for this year’s fall concert. The event will take place at Heiges Field House on Sunday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for early access ticket holders and 6:30 p.m. for those with general admission.
Each year APB asks SU students to vote for which performer they would like to see perform on campus. Around 1,000 students voiced their opinions on the APB survey regarding this year’s fall concert.
APB’s concert director Evan Redding said both Grammer and McCartney placed in the Top 3 artists in the survey.
Grammer has been in the spotlight since he released his self-titled debut album in 2011. Many people would likely recognize his hit songs “Keep Your Head Up” and “Honey I’m Good.” Although it has been three years since Grammer released his second album “Magazines or Novels,” he released his newest single “Give Love” featuring LunchMoney Lewis over the summer.
You might recognize Grammer’s special guest McCartney from his roles on “Law & Order: SVU” and “Summerland.” Most people know McCartney for his guest appearances on Disney Channel’s early 2000 shows “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and “Hannah Montana.”
McCartney’s career as a solo-artist began after his debut album “Beautiful Soul” was released in early 2004. Since then he has released four solo albums.
Redding said he’s proud to have helped organize such an inclusive event on campus.
“It is very unique that we are able to provide a concert for our students on campus at a very affordable price, and this is an opportunity that all students should take advantage of,” said Redding.
Ticket’s to APB’s fall concert are selling fast and Redding advises students to buy their tickets now to ensure their spot at the concert. Tickets and meet-and-greet passes are available for purchase at Eventbrite.com and range from $25 to $40.
