Their 1992 breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union featured the international hits “Runaway Train”\, “Black Gold” and “ Somebody to Shove”. “Runaway Train” won a Grammy\,  and its groundbreaking music video brought nearly two dozen missing and exploited children and teens around the world home to their families. \n\n\n\nSOUL ASYLUM has released 13 original albums – including their most recent\, 2024’s Slowly But Shirley – with multiple live albums and assorted Greatest Hits collections. Their famous 1993 MTV Unplugged performance was released for the first time on vinyl as a coveted Record Store Day exclusive\, and November 2025 also saw the 30-year-anniversary reissue of their Let Your Dim Light Shine album.  \n\n\n\nThis upcoming show offers a rare opportunity to see SOUL ASYLUM’s Dave Pirner\, Ryan Smith\, and Jeremy Tappero perform an intimate\, one-of-a-kind acoustic set. \n\n\n\nJared Gertzen about David Pirner: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the best singer/songwriters to come out of Minnesota since Prince. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow Loeb Playhouse\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\nAbout Corey Glover\n\n\n\nCorey Glover is an American singer\, songwriter\, and actor\, best known as the powerhouse lead vocalist of the Grammy-winning rock band Living Colour.

The six-piece indie rock band from Chicago\, led by singer and guitarist Axel Ellis (star of Amazon Prime’s The Runarounds)\, have been headlining tours and releasing music since 2018. Rounding out the rest of the band are the Hatchetmen- made up of Salvatore Defilippis on guitar\, Hunter Olshefke on bass\, Nick Deputy on drums\, Phil Pistone on trumpet and Quinn Dolan on saxophone. \n\n\n\nThe group have released multiple singles and EPs since signing with Arista Records in 2023\, including their latest collection\, the “Constant Change” EP which features Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes on the single “Blurry Lights”. They plan on touring and releasing music for the foreseeable future.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThey will also party. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow Loeb Playhouse\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\nAbout Chauncie\n\n\n\nBorn in 2022 in the basements of Purdue University\, Chauncie began to play small house shows in their local DIY music scene. While mainly opting for covers and crowd favorites\, the band’s chemistry was clear and they quickly became a regular act on the weekend show bills. Now (just two band name changes later)\, they have released their first studio-recorded EP which is available to stream on most platforms\, as well as for purchase on this site. \n\n\n\nTheir cohesion as musicians only became stronger once they began writing\, and was the pillar to their writing process.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern
DESCRIPTION:Canceled: Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern \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\nCancellation update: Friday\, December 19We regret to inform you that both upcoming performances of Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern at Loeb Playhouse\, along with other national tour dates\, have been canceled by the producer. We understand this is disappointing news\, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.Refunds for all ticket purchases will be processed within the next 7-10 business days. You should expect to see the funds returned to your original method of payment. Please note: due to the holiday season and university winter recess\, refunds may be delayed.If you have any questions or need further assistance\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Box Office by emailing hlmctix@purdue.edu by calling 765-494-3933.Box Office Hours of OperationMonday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–6:00 PM10 AM – 4 PM during University BreaksPlease note: The office will be closed from Dec. 22\, 2025 – Jan. 5\, 2026 in observance of the University’s winter recess.Thank you for your understanding\, and we hope to see you at future events! \n\n\n\nShow Cancellation FAQs\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy was the show canceled?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis decision was made by the touring production and was outside of our control. We understand this is disappointing and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs the show being rescheduled?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe performance will not be rescheduled.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill I receive a refund for my tickets?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYes. All tickets purchased for the canceled performances will be refunded to the original form of payment. No action is required – refunds will be processed automatically. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen will I receive my refund?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefunds typically appear within 7–10 business days\, depending on your bank or credit card provider. Please note: due to the holiday season and university winter recess\, refunds may be delayed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I exchange my tickets for another performance instead?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDue to the timing of the cancellation during winter recess and just before the holidays\, ticket exchanges are not available.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern
DESCRIPTION:Loeb Playhouse\n\n\n\n\n\nAn interactive fantasy adventure—no two shows are alike! \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\nCancellation update: Friday\, December 19We regret to inform you that both upcoming performances of Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern at Loeb Playhouse\, along with other national tour dates\, have been canceled by the producer. We understand this is disappointing news\, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.Refunds for all ticket purchases will be processed within the next 7-10 business days. You should expect to see the funds returned to your original method of payment. Please note: due to the holiday season and university winter recess\, refunds may be delayed.If you have any questions or need further assistance\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Box Office by emailing hlmctix@purdue.edu by calling 765-494-3933.Box Office Hours of OperationMonday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–6:00 PM10 AM – 4 PM during University BreaksPlease note: The office will be closed from Dec. 22\, 2025 – Jan. 5\, 2026 in observance of the University’s winter recess.Thank you for your understanding\, and we hope to see you at future events! \n\n\n\nShow Cancellation FAQs\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy was the show canceled?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis decision was made by the touring production and was outside of our control. We understand this is disappointing and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs the show being rescheduled?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe performance will not be rescheduled.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill I receive a refund for my tickets?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYes. All tickets purchased for the canceled performances will be refunded to the original form of payment. No action is required – refunds will be processed automatically. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen will I receive my refund?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefunds typically appear within 7–10 business days\, depending on your bank or credit card provider. Please note: due to the holiday season and university winter recess\, refunds may be delayed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I exchange my tickets for another performance instead?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDue to the timing of the cancellation during winter recess and just before the holidays\, ticket exchanges are not available. While we encourage patrons to consider attending another Convos performance in support of our self-supporting organization\, the short notice before the new year led us to determine that issuing refunds to all ticket holders was the most appropriate course of action. \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            Enhance your experience\n        \n                \n\n\n\n        \n        \n                            \n                    \n                                                    \n                                                                \n                                                                            \n                                            \n                                        \n                                                                        \n                                                                                    BUILD YOUR OWN SEASON \n                                                                                    \n                                        \n                                            PICK5 + Save                                        \n\n                                                                                    Did you know that if you buy 5 shows or more (not 5 tickets)\, you save an average of 10% off single-ticket prices?

Unable to return to the war-torn place of my origin at the time—and plagued by violent discrimination in my adopted country—I fought to find safe haven. As a child\, the only constants were my grandfather\, our cows and dogs. Because of Grandpa’s wisdom and our bond\, I decided to pursue our love of animals as my profession. This is why I became a veterinarian.I studied Veterinary medicine at Makerere University\, Uganda; one of the best universities in Africa. I moved to America to advance my training with an internship in Kentucky and to give my family a better life.  I took the American Veterinary Association required tests; ECFVG/AVMA (at Mississippi State University) to get licensed in the USA. < BACK TO ARTICLEJyotisman Rath  Jyotisman Rath  Jyotisman Rath is a young avid researcher from India who specializes in sustainable electrochemical energy conversion and storage.

Boundary-pushing experts from Purdue University and beyond present their work in the classic TEDx format of bite-sized talks that are 18-minutes or less.  \n\n\n\nTEDxPurdueU is an independently organized event licensed from TED and run by the officially recognized Purdue University student organization of the same name. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n\n\nFatemah Mirza  Fatemah Mirza  I founded CareerTuners in 2010 to help smart\, career-driven leaders with professional resume services.

SUMMARY:Counterpoint
DESCRIPTION:Counterpoint\nCONRAD TAO\, PIANO\n\n\n\nCALEB TEICHER\, TAP\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETSDIGITAL PROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\nThe unique duo of classical pianist Conrad Tao and dancer/choreographer Caleb Teicher bring their new sonic and visual take on masterworks of Bach\, Mozart\, Brahms\, and Gershwin to Loeb Playhouse this February.  \n\n\n\nBlending Tao’s idiosyncratic harmonic mastery with Teicher’s contemporary and percussive tap dancing\, Counterpoint threads together stylistically varied\, landmark pieces into one cohesive thought. Audiences can expect these to include Aria from Bach’s Goldberg Variations\, Arnold Schoenberg’s Five Piano Pieces\, and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue\, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024. Tao and Teicher’s earlier work\, More Forever\, is a Bessie Award-winning\, New York Times critic’s pick\, where it was praised for “constantly extending the sonic aspects of dance.” \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\nOne’s a tap prodigy. The other’s a piano virtuoso. Together\, they create magic onstage.  The San Diego Union Tribune \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHIS PERFORMANCE POWERED BY:

Pulling from jazz\, soul\, and funk\, Benjamin’s music soars live and on record. She was part of the Monterey on Tour show with revered jazz vocalists Dee Dee Bridgewater and Kurt Elling\, which included a concert at the Lincoln Center.  \n\n\n\nThe charismatic Benjamin routinely engages her audiences on the mic and she is usually the most stylish in the venue. A recent concert in Germany saw her dressed in gold from head to toe\, matching her trusted sax. However\, that fit still could not outshine her massively impressive live performance\, which the Wall Street Journal called “assertive and vital.” \n\n\n\nPurdue Jazz Festival Schedule\n\n\n\nCommunity Jazz ShowcaseThursday\, January 18\, 7:30pm / Long Center for the Performing Arts \n\n\n\nFeaturing the Purdue Jazz Band and jazz bands from Tippecanoe County. \n\n\n\nLakecia Benjamin & PhoenixFriday\, January 19\, 8:00pmLoeb Playhouse at Stewart Center \n\n\n\nJazz Festival Competition and ClinicsSaturday\, January 20\, 8:00am – 6:00pmVarious locationsREGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED\, details \nVISIT ARTIST WEBSITEPURDUE JAZZ FESTIVAL\n\n\n\nEXPLORE THE SHOW\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond the Spotlight: A Conversation with Lakecia BenjaminEducator Judd Danby talks with GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin about her musical roots\, pursuing mentors\, her album Phoenix\, and overcoming fears.

This multi-media adventure mixes performance and storytelling with projected illustrations to tell the story of Buck\, the magnificent offspring of a St. Bernard and Scottish Collie. \n\n\n\nKidnapped from his lavish life on a California estate and sent to work as a sled dog during the great Klondike Gold Rush of the 1800s\, Buck becomes the most famous dog in the northland’s history and discovers the endurance and strength of his wild\, primal ancestors as their call courses through his blood. A thrilling tale of courage and survival. \n\n\n\nThe production uses 180-degree projection that surrounds the performer and provides scenic\, artistic\, and historical context to the show through their content. The images feature a unique mix of Philip R. Goodwin’s classical illustrations from the book’s first edition\, period photographs\, and brand new drawings and animations created by artist Michael Rae. \nVISIT TOUR WEBSITE\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\nI loved how Language Arts and History were integrated.

SUMMARY:Emmet Cohen Trio & Friends
DESCRIPTION:Emmet Cohen Trio & Friends\n\nBUY TICKETSPICK5+SAVE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\nYoung jazz piano phenom Emmet Cohen returns to Purdue with chops that compelled The New York Times to hail him as “an obvious heir apparent to the neo-traditional jazz mantle.”  \n\n\n\nAn educator and jazz outreach machine\, Cohen helped us through the COVID-19 pandemic with a streaming concert from his New York City apartment to Convos audiences. He then recorded a live album at Purdue in 2022.  \n\n\n\nBacked by a rhythm section\, Cohen is a talent that must be experienced live. Just ask Downbeat magazine when it gushed about the Cohen trio’s knack for making “virtuosic\, breathtaking music carefree and entertaining\, an under-appreciated\, yet visceral\, proof of early-jazz greatness.” \n\n\n\nFeaturing\n\n\n\nEmmet Cohen\, pianoJoey Ranieri\, bassJoe Farnsworth\, drumsBruce Harris\, trumpetTivon Pennicott\, tenor saxophone \nVisit Artist Website\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\nElectricity\, pacing\, innovation\, dynamic virtuosity and interplay\, flights of fancy and passion.
