RAINEY, a band composed entirely of Lipscomb students, opened for Colony House Monday night in Bison Square to kick off the 2016 spring concert.
“It was pretty exciting because they are blowing up right now; it was a huge opportunity and we are all stoked,” RAINEY’s keyboard player junior Benjamin Siebold said.
RAINEY recently released its first EP. During the set Monday night, the band debuted three new songs, including the band’s new favorite song to play, “Easy.”
“We progressed a lot when we added Andrew as our drummer,” junior bassist Trevor Ault said. “He does a lot of electronic stuff and he has helped to take us in the direction we want to go.”
After RAINEY warmed up the crowd, Colony House took the stage and performed several of their well-known alternative hits.
“I thought it was fun and I wish Lipscomb did more events like this,” freshman Garrett Jones said. “I think it brought the student body together. I think it took some stress off school as the year is winding down.”
Colony House is a rising band on the alternative music scene and is known for performing songs centered on faith, love and living life.
“To open for Colony House was the greatest opportunity I have had in my life,” Ault said. “Their bass player, as I was exiting the stage said I did really well and that was really cool.”
