Nicholls State University has introduced me to some of the coolest underground bands in the region. I have always appreciated our school’s role in representing the local band life. If you are interested in checking out live music on campus, here are some events to look out for:

Alley After Dark

A personal favorite of mine. I must admit that I do have a bit of a bias towards this event. It is an annual concert of local bands hosted by the campus radio station 91.5 KNSU. An organization that I have been a part of for the past two years. Despite my involvement with the event, I can honestly tell you that it is a great opportunity to listen to great local music. The event takes place during the Fall Semester outside of the union so be sure to check it out.

Alive At Five

Alive At Five focuses more on bands with a larger following. In fact, I would argue that they do everything Alley After Dark does, just on a larger scale. The last event I attended was in 2017. A huge stage was set up next to our schools recreation center and two bands both played pretty amazing sets. Alive At Five also takes place during the Fall semester so be on the look out for a time and date.
