Advertising is supposed to create that desire, but that was virtually non-existent. It was like stuffing $20,000 in a coffee can, burying it, and calling it an investment. And it failed miserably. One of the hottest bands this side of the Billboard charts couldn't even sell out Pete Mathews Coliseum. This year, though, the SGA and UPC learned from the mistakes of the past. The attendance numbers were much higher than last year's. The SGA and UPC also employed the help of a 100,000-watt FM station, which heavily promoted the concert for more than a month. The most impressive aspect, though, is the choice of a band as diverse as JSU itself. Hootie and the Blowfish play the kind of music that can speak to everyone. Also, the band is the hottest thing on the radio nationwide, with one hit single under its belt and another that promises to be just as big or bigger than the first. If this was a result of foresight on the part of the SGA and UPC, congratulations. If it was luck, that's fine, too. Either way, the results are the same. Thanks for the concert.

The Edwin McCain Band blended sounds of jazz, folk and soul Tuesday night when they performed as the opening act for Hootie and the Blowfish at Pete Matthews Coliseum. The lead singer of the band, Edwin McCain, described his music as "acous- tic jazz funk with a little bit of soul for good measure." "We've been touring with Hootie and the Blowfish since Sunday and we'll continue touring with them through the end of the month," says McCain. The Charleston, S.C.-based Edwin McCain Band has been touring on behalf of their independently released CD, entitled "Solitude," for 13 months, according to McCain. Craig Shields, who plays saxophone and keyboard for the Edwin McCain Band, mezmorized the crowd of 3,382 people with his saxophone during the opening song of the performance, "Welcome to the '90s." The band's second selection was a song done under the same name as the CD title, "Solitude."
