"Sounds of Oxford"
While studying in Oxford, ¾¨Ó㴫ý students have experienced a variety of live music. One such opportunity takes place every other Wednesday night at a pub named The Cellar. On Wednesday nights, musicians from many different backgrounds have an opportunity to play in front of a student-based crowd. Although it is an open mic night, artists do not have the mic to themselves. In fact many of the artists performing on stage were previously just members of the audience who were compelled to participate in the "jam session."
When asked about these jam session nights, Jennie Wheeler, a senior English major from Port Allegany, claims "The jam sessions are an awesome opportunity to witness artists of all different ages and backgrounds get to gather on stage and make one piece of beautiful music. Just last week, I listened to a 50-something man playing the Jazz saxophone accompanying a 20-something free style rapper from Jamaica. It was brilliant!"
The excitement for these nights seems to be growing with the ¾¨Ó㴫ý students, especially those who attend the Philosophy Club meetings that take place shortly before the Cellar's line up begins.
Another student, junior business major from Kenmore, N.Y. James Sharcot, said, "I truly look forward to Wednesday nights as it provides me with an opportunity to not only discuss philosophy with my peers and professors, but also to enjoy live jam music and an opportunity to express myself on stage."
The ¾¨Ó㴫ý students look forward to some more entertaining Wednesday nights at The Cellar before returning to New Wilmington for the spring semester.
