College Lands Echosmith for Cortaca Jug Concert

College Lands Echosmith for Cortaca Jug Concert

10/01/2015 

Building on the success of campus events surrounding last year’s Cortaca Jug game, SUNY Cortland will bring in up-and-coming indie pop band Echosmith for a special concert Saturday, Nov. 14.

The show will begin in the evening, after the College’s football team returns to Cortland after taking on Ithaca College in the storied Division III rivalry game.

Details of the concert such as time, location and ticket information, are not yet available. They will be announced at a later date.

The California-based group — made up of four siblings who range in age from 16 to 22 — is best known for the hit single “Cool Kids,” which earned double platinum status and reached No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart last fall. Echosmith’s debut album “Talking Dreams” also included the popular track “Bright.”

Last fall, the College initiated what it hopes will become a new Cortaca Jug tradition by hosting a major concert event after the game. It is one of several student-oriented events that will be scheduled during the weekend of the game. A full schedule of events for 2015 will be announced in the weeks leading up the Nov. 14 game, which takes place this year at Ithaca College’s Butterfield Stadium.

Last year’s Cortaca Jug show, which brought in electronic dance duo The White Panda, filled Moffett Center gymnasium. The College’s Student Activities Board added that show to a 2014-15 concert line-up that also included country musician Raelynn in February and rapper Big Sean at Spring Fling.
