AU Recording Artists is holding its fall showcase Friday in the Tavern. AURA founder Andy Thompson (bass/keys player for the band ADHD) founded the club this semester in an effort to unify musicians on campus.
Thompson said he noticed a lack of organization on the campus-wide level and hopes to use AURA as an outlet for AU musicians. More showcases are in the works, including a hip-hop gig. Music workshops are also planned - the first of which will focus on DJing. Thompson met most of the AU bands through his audio technology classes, but strives to reach beyond audio tech majors.
"There are a lot of campus bands that no one really knows about," said Thompson, a senior. "AURA will help us branch out."
ADHD, Cab Assassin, Causeway to Barrier and Wait Til Friday are playing, starting at 8 p.m.
