Skribe at Starbucks 1/23
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2020 by WLOY Staff
Skribe returns to Loyola this Thursday for our weekly Coffeehouse. Skribe has been a WLOY favorite for many years, bringing not only his great lyrics and melodies to his performances but many special treats, as well. Skribe lead performer Aaron Yealdhall actually makes his own instruments, like his bass drum suitcase, gas can guitar and banjo, “canjo-zookie”, “merican canjo”, and “kazoobie kazoos”! Try to say those three times fast. His sound can be described as soulful “garage folk” and his music takes influence from The Great Outdoors. Skribe will be at Starbucks this Thursday from 8-10pm, so be sure to stop by and don’t miss out on the magic! We hope to see you there.
