     Chris Cauley and Chinua Hawk, "two of the top musical acts of the college circuit" will perform this spring in Pierce Hall on April 23 at 8pm.

     "Their music is described as southern soul meets acoustic soul," said Vice President of Students in Free Enterprise, Christine Richmond. Richmond was the actual chairperson who decided to put on the event. She had seen the two perform at a conference in Hartford and knew "they were a group I would love to have on campus."

     "They will sing some songs separately and some together," said Assistant Director of Student Activities, Leah Robichaud. "The two men tour separately, but call themselves the 'Chris Cauley and Chinua Hawk Project,' when together."

     Chinua Hawk is a singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur. His CDs have not only sold in the United States, but have also got recognition in France, England, Switzerland, Japan, and Canada. Chinua has performed with Celine Dionne at Madison Square Garden in front of a crowd of 30,000. He has written songs with Wyclef Jean and worked in the studio with rapper Kanye West. Chinua was also named the APCA Multi-Cultural Artist of the year 2004 and again in 2005.

     Chris Cauley is a 22 year old singer and songwriter. In his first year on the college circuit, Chris was the number one music act of all three showcases and was selected and voted APCA Coffeehouse Artist of the Year. Chris has opened for many world touring acts such as Edwin McCain, Will Hoge, and Motor City Josh and The Big 3.

     "They are really good. Students should definitely come out and see them," said Robichaud. "You never know who we are going to have on campus. You never know where they will end up in their career. They could make it big."
    
     Students who have already been informed about the event plan on taking advantage of this opportunity. "It will be good to have this new group on campus," said senior Angelica Benjamin. "It will be a new experience for us, to be able to go out and take advantage of this new band, and this new style of music."
