Good music, good vibes and a captivated crowd — that was the theme of The Arcadian Wild’s show Saturday night at Two Old Hippies. This indie-folk group was formed in October 2013 when three Lipscomb students came together. Sophomore music major Sarah Wood from Pueblo, Colorado, junior music major Everett Davis from Avon, Connecticut and Lipscomb graduate Lincoln Mick from Jacksonville, Florida, make up the group’s original members. In the fall of 2014, the group welcomed a new member, freshman music composition major Isaac Horn from Jonesboro, Arkansas. Several Lipscomb students came to the show, which featured a mix of new songs and some from the group’s first EP. “My favorite part was watching them express their artistry through their music,” sophomore Kelly Morrell said. “You can tell they put a lot of work into not just the lyrics, but the instrumentation – you can tell they are very passionate.” Although the group classifies itself as indie-folk, each member brings a distinctive style to the mix. “I think we’ve all been really influenced by a lot of different people, which makes our sound so unique because we all bring completely different writing styles to the table and different styles of playing,” Wood said. The group’s influences range from artists like The Avett Brothers, Regina Spektor, The Lumineers and The Tallest Man on Earth. Audience members agreed that the group’s sound and songwriting is unique. “I really enjoy that they write all of their own music,” freshman Zoey Dodge said. “It’s all really original and inventive.” Two Old Hippies is just one of the many venues they have played in Nashville. Last summer The Arcadian Wild played a tour, traveling...

ReLapse, a band that includes two Lipscomb alumni will perform with Jordan Baron, a former Bisons pitcher, at Mercy Lounge Dec. 14 at 9 p.m. Andrew Glass, the band’s front man and one of its founders, says the group hopes to see a large Lipscomb crowd at the concert. “I really loved going to Lispcomb,” Glass said, “and I think Landon really loved going to Lipscomb and I know Jordan loved going to Lipscomb. We would really love to see a lot of Lipscomb people come out. I really just want to engage that Lipscomb network because it means so much to where I’ve come from and probably where I’ll go in the future. It’s a part of me.” ReLapse has been doing various gigs in Nashville for almost a year, and most recently played at Lipscomb’s annual dodge ball tournament in November. “The Lipscomb crowd is one of the most fun crowds we’ve played for,” Glass said. “They’re just a really fun group of people to play for.” Baron has been touring on the West Coast with the stage name Harrison B., and the Mercy Lounge performance will be his homecoming show. “He’s really had success out there,” Glass said, explaining Baron’s popularity in the North West. “It’s really cool to see what he’s doing.” Glass, a 2009 Lipscomb graduate, started the band with Landon Rives, a 2010 graduate. The two lived together in High Rise with Barron when they were sophomores. The two began jamming together during their free time and realized they had a good sound. Now, Glass and Rives co-write all of the band’s songs....
