Thursday Night Live September 23rd: Dave and Chi Chi Concert
About a week and a half ago I went to a concert on Thursday night at Art Street located in the ghetto on the campus of the University of Dayton. This concert highlighted performers that are students of the University and are also peers of mine. The students included that I personally know were David Fresh, Dave Zup, and Chi Chi. David Fresh opened up the concert by performing four songs. Three songs that he performed were covers and one of them was his own original piece. One of the covers that David did was “Cats in the Cradle” which was originally performed by Harry Chapin. I really liked David’s performance of this song because “Cats in the Cradle” is one of my favorite songs and his rendition left me wanting more. David’s acoustic performance of all four songs was very interesting and fun to listen too. Next up after David Fresh was a performance of two students who sang a version of “Hallelujah” which was originally performed by Jeff Buckley. They sang it well and the performance overall was very unique. The final performance of the night highlighted a group called Isomatic, which includes members Dave Zup, and Chi Chi. Their performance was all hip-hop and had Dave Zup rap quite a few songs. These songs were original, remixes, and covers. While Dave rapped Chi Chi ran the beat station and created many different and unique tunes. Dave and Chi Chi definitely stole the show and entertained me for the entire time they played. Dave’s original and remixed songs were my favorite and listening to Chi Chi’s beats go along with these songs was truly an experience. They both are great artists and even after the concert ended I found myself looking up more of their songs on YouTube.
