Ben Raab started the night off with his two upbeat and thoughtful originals, "Cupid" and "Muse." He was followed by Christopher Moise, featuring the poetic ballads "The Marksman" and "Between Our Teeth." Christopher Vanek kicked the mood up a few notches with his punky "Fun and Games," about the contemplation of God and religion, followed by the equally deep "You May Be a Yesterday."
Regina Guasino came next, her two songs "You Can't Make Me Stay" and "Mysterious" characterised by open, jazzy chords and some scat singing as well.
Laura Titrud brought a keyboard to the stage with her songs "She Knows" and "The Inventor," the latter song an introspective piece about inventing feelings for someone just to stay in a relationship.
Colin Seeger followed up with a guitar folk sound, featuring "For What it's Worth," a self described breakup song, and "213," a semi-biographical song about Seeger's adjustments to his freshman year at college. Andrew Chaluko finished the performance part of the night with his delicately picked, bouncy and confident ballads, "Walking to Nevada" and "Radiator."
WoodSongs was a smashing success, fun for both musicians and audience members, and assured its place next year at UConn, and after, for many years to come.
