At the core of the music’s upbeat energy and unfiltered lyrics\, you’ll hear who he was before and who he became — almost in real-time. The Vermont singer still pens songs straight from the heart and still cracks jokes with his signature\, self-deprecating sense of humor; he’s just changed in all of the right ways (and chronicled them via his songwriting). \n\n\n\nHe gained that understanding through quite the journey from small town Vermont to global renown. He’s racked up over one billion streams\, released two full length albums (Busyhead\, 2019 and I Was / I Am\, 2021) and a mid-pandemic EP (Cape Elizabeth\, 2020)\, picked up a Gold Certification for “Hurt Somebody” feat. Julia Michaels\, and performed on television shows such as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, Late Night with Seth Meyers\, and TODAY. Not to mention\, he’s collaborated with everyone from Joy Oladokun to Chelsea Cutler to mxmtoon to Quinn XCII to Gryffin. \n\n\n\nAfter 5 years of critical acclaim and global touring\, he sought an even purer style of writing and arrangement\, a challenge from within to convey a vivid representation of what he loves\, fears\, and struggles with most passionately. Now\, Noah continues to progress on his 2022 single “Stick Season” — rife with fluttering guitar melodies\, inviting vocals\, and homey imagery of the Northeast on the verge of a change of seasons\, the track represents another massive turning point for him. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Know Before You Go\n \n \n\n\n\n \n Manage Tickets\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Directions & Parking\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Program\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Generous support from\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUPPORT FROM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvos is Self-Supporting.Your Ticket Purchases and Generous GiftsPower it All! \n\n\n\n \n Learn More\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBriscoeOpening for Noah Kahan is the Austin-based duo known as Briscoe.

The Guardian READ MORE\n\n\n\nSit a spell\, sip a pint\, and be spirited away to bewitching borderlands by this moving and magical comic fantasy. Based on the globally-acclaimed production by the National Theatre of Scotland\, the original artistic team of The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart has reunited to bring the runaway hit of the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival back to the stage–and back to Convos where we had a sold-out run in 2012.  \n\n\n\nInspired by the Scottish Border Ballads–centuries old songs\, speaking of supernatural occurrences along the England-Scotland border–the tale finds uptight academic Prudencia Hart departing one wintry morning for a conference in the borderlands. What awaits her is an enchanting and suspenseful journey of devilish encounters\, wittily wild karaoke\, and dreamlike self-discovery. Renowned Scottish playwright David Greig connects the dots between contemporary themes\, Scottish culture and identity\, and the grand tradition of writing for the stage\, by weaving a tale set in the current time but using largely rhymed verse. With razor-sharp turns\, Prudencia is manically funny and soul-searching\, often within the same stanza.  \n\n\n\nPrudencia is a full-tilt immersive theatrical experience. The actors will madly traverse our historic Duncan Hall\, magically transformed for the night into a Scottish pub. With action everywhere around you\, Prudencia takes you on an epic journey of vivid imagination. \n\n\n\nThe Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart… “Wow!”Supporting Innovative Performances at Purdue takes a village. Ticket sales for Prudencia covered less than 50% of the total expenses of this presentation—so without the embrace of adventurous arts lovers like you\, this rollicking journey across the borderlands would not have been possible\, by gosh…  READ MORE\n\n\n\nBefore you go\n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to invite you to this full-tilt immersive experience. Please give yourself ample time for street parking around Duncan Hall. \n\n\n\nDoors open 60 minutes before curtain and a cash bar is available. \n\n\n\nDue to the nature of the performance\, latecomers cannot be seated\, so come early and enjoy a cèilidh – the grand Scottish tradition of good times\, good friends\, and aye\, yes\, the fruits of the pub\, beginning 60 minutes prior to curtain. \n\n\n\nRecommended for ages 14 and up. Contains moments of mild profanity and adult references deliciously delivered in rhymed verse with a Scottish accent. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW SPONSORS URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/the-strange-undoing-of-prudencia-hart/ LOCATION:Duncan Hall\, 619 Ferry St.\, Lafayette\, IN\, 47901 CATEGORIES:Innovative,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Prudencia-Digital-Program.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4197605;-86.889648 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Hall 619 Ferry St. Lafayette IN 47901;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=619 Ferry St.:geo:-86.889648,40.4197605 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20230219T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20230219T183000 DTSTAMP:20260621T070130 CREATED:20220707T233000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230425T011903Z UID:10000379-1676831400-1676831400@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:CATS DESCRIPTION:The Hit Broadway Musical\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS ON SALE NOW!\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\nPICK5 + SAVE\n\n\n\n\n\nGROUP ORDER FORM\n\n\n\n\n\nCATS is pure spectacle!

Fresh from success on the battlefield\, a triumphant Caesar returns to Rome a virtual dictator. Brutus\, Cassius and a group of like-minded senators decide that his undemocratic power grab must be stopped and Caesar assassinated.

American Songwriter \n\n\n\nGetting discovered at a “redneck barn party” by country superstar Jake Owen makes for a heckuva story\, just like the raucous tales that make for good country music. Larry Fleet\, who opened for Owen at Purdue in February 2020\, is back— this time as a headliner. Soulful\, heartfelt\, and humorous—Fleet’s music represents his blue-collar\, small-town upbringing with pride. \n\n\n\nOn his new album\, Stack of Records\, Fleet appeals to fans of modern country. But he’s got one boot firmly planted in the roots of outlaw country\, since he counts Willie Nelson as one of his idols and named his son\, Waylon\, after the one and only Waylon Jennings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW SPONSORS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Links\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsiteFacebookInstagramTikTokTwitterYouTubeApple MusicSpotify URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/larry-fleet/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Country,Music,Student Concert Committee ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/LARRY1920X1080.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220908T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220909T235959 DTSTAMP:20260621T070130 CREATED:20220707T233000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220906T133734Z UID:10000366-1662595200-1662767999@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:SWAY presents Bloom!

Chicago Sun Times \n\n\n\nAfter turning thousands of heads on Purdue’s campus in 2011\, SWAY\, then known as Australia’s Strange Fruit\, returns for a series of outdoor performances on the lawn of the Purdue Memorial Union. The collective of acrobatic performance artists is known for its stunts atop 14-foot sway poles. The performers arc high in the sky with such force that they can almost touch the seated audience members below before shooting off in the opposite direction. SWAY’s new show\, Bloom!\, is a 20-minute\, vibrant experience inspired by the brilliant colors of Smoky Mountain wildflowers. The show debuted in April at Dollywood Theme Park—and if it’s Dolly Parton-approved\, you know it’s worth a look. \n\n\n\nIncluded in Purdue’s WEEKS of WELCOME \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTING SPONSOR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUPPORT FROM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Links\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsiteFacebookInstagram URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/bloom/ LOCATION:PMU South Lawn\, 101 Grant Street\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47906 CATEGORIES:Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BLOOM1920x1080.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4247239;-86.9105463 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=PMU South Lawn 101 Grant Street West Lafayette IN 47906;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=101 Grant Street:geo:-86.9105463,40.4247239 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220428T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220428T193000 DTSTAMP:20260621T070130 CREATED:20211008T010000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260420T220355Z UID:10000347-1651174200-1651174200@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Kaleta and Super Yamba Band DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $15-20 \n\n\n\nGetting back together in person for a season of live performances is a reason to celebrate\, and we’ll do just that at the End of Season Bash!

Following a successful engagement at Elliott Hall in 2018\, the Broadway sensation that is Jersey Boys returns in all of its harmonious glory. The musical tells the story about the formation and success of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons\, but the spotlight shines brightest on all of those classic tunes from the early 1960s—“Sherry\,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man\,” just to name a few—all led by Valli’s unmistakable falsetto. Chronicling the group’s rise from New Jersey street kids singing on the corner to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame\, Jersey Boys is a living\, breathing jukebox stocked with great hits and heart. \n\n\n\nJersey Boys contains authentic “profane Jersey language” and is recommended for ages 12 and up. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUPPORT FROM URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/jersey-boys-2022/ LOCATION:Elliott Hall of Music\, 712 3rd Street\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Broadway & Musicals ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/JBlogo400.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4279028;-86.9149598 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Elliott Hall of Music 712 3rd Street West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=712 3rd Street:geo:-86.9149598,40.4279028 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
