Crown Me King Live at Zen West
Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 by Allison Shulman
Loyola alumni band Crown Me King is performing at Zen West this Saturday, May 9 at 7 PM. The band previously won Loyola’s 2022 Battle of the Bands and took the stage at Loyolapalooza, building a presence on campus.
Crown Me King blends covers and original work, performing songs like “Kilby Girl” by the Backseat Lovers and their own music, including “Girl I Don’t Know.”
The band features Ben Ostrowski (guitar), Chris Martin (keys, vocals), Ed McGillicuddy (bass), Jacob White (drums), Kevin Lankford (guitar) and Zach Russell (lead vocals). Ostrowski is also a WLOY alum who served as Production Manager and hosted The Power Hour during his time at the station.
We’re always excited to highlight our amazing WLOY alumni! Be sure to check Crown Me King this Saturday and support local music.

Loyolapalooza Headliner: Ravyn Lenae
Thursday, April 30th, 2026 by Allison Shulman
Review by: Yukesh Aryal (’28)
Loyolapalooza 2026 ended with a total banger this year, and it was all thanks to Ravyn Lenae. She gave her absolute all on that stage, bringing her signature “celestial” presence to our university. As a fan since 2018, this was a peak experience for me, and I honestly don’t think any other concert will ever match.
The vibe was high from the start. She opened the set with “Sticky,” which was the perfect choice to get everyone’s energy up. From there, she took us on a journey through her whole career, playing everything from her number one hit, “Love Me Not,” all the way back to her 2015 roots with tracks from “Moon Shoes EP.” Seeing the crowd lose it to “Skin Tight” was also a highlight; the atmosphere was so unexpected, and everyone was just vibing and dancing.
