Michelle Branch will perform at the Lied Center tonight in a concert sponsored by Student Union Activities.
Doug Brady, Topeka sophomore and live music coordinator for SUA, said the live music committee wanted to bring a female artist to campus. Although SUA brings a different artist each fall and spring, the majority during the past few years had been male.
The committee sent a list of potential artists to an agent after polling students and receiving input from the SUA board. They selected Branch after learning she was touring and available.
Brady said Branch was an artist students would recognize from when they were younger.
“It’s kind of like a walk down memory lane,” Brady said.
Branch is currently working on her third solo album, “Everything Comes and Goes.” The album is expected to be released by the end of the year.
Tom Johnson, advisor for the live music committee, said Suzannah Johannes, a local singer and songwriter, would open the show.
“Her style of music is an interesting simultaneous compliment and contrast to Michelle Branch’s music, and is an incredible local talent,” Johnson said.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $10 during office hours at SUA or for $12 at the Lied Center box office before the show.
