Learning the Law of music

Pondering, student and musician Tyler Michael Law fiddled his upper lip with an index finger, wearing a casual button-up blue shirt, grey dress pants and white bowling shoes. Sitting in an apartment that is shared with friends, on his blue 1985 furniture donated by his parents, Law sank into his answers, just as he sank into his comfortable couch. Law has attended Shippensburg University since the fall semester of 2014, majoring in communication/journalism.

Emotions of war told in song and strings

In a generation where the news is filled with endless conflicts, the Shippensburg University Orchestra and the SU Concert Choir combined forces to present “Peace in Time of War.” “Not only do we get to have a really large orchestra, which is lots of fun,” orchestra director Mark Hartman said to audience members, “This is the first time I’ve been here that we’ve ever worked with the choir.” Typically, the department of music and theatre arts of SU presents separate concerts for the SU Orchestra and the SU Concert Choir.

Noah Guthrie dominates at The Thought Lot

Internet sensation Noah Guthrie performed in Shippensburg for the first time Sunday night. He walked onto the stage of The Thought Lot, with attire suggesting he has been touring on the road for months — a brown top hat, brown blazer and jeans, and to top it off, his acoustic guitar. But for Guthrie’s only third performance in his new miniature summer tour, he rocked the “little cute town” of Shippensburg leaving the impression that Guthrie has decades of rock music ahead of him. Guthrie released his first album in 2014.

A year after Zayn Malik left mega-boy band One Direction, he has dropped his first solo album. Unsurprisingly, it has gone straight to No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. Malik, who stirred some news within the last year with talk of his solo work, released “Mind of Mine” on March 23 to anxious fans after releasing two singles, “Pillow Talk” and “Like I Would.” The album is, for lack of a better description, really good from start to finish.
