GREENVILLE, Pa.-- Thiel College, a leading liberal arts college in northwest Pennsylvania, is hosting the third annual WXTC Music Festival to Benefit VH1 Save the Music Foundation. The event begins at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 24 in the Rotunda Bistro of the Howard Miller Student Center.

Pittsburgh alt-rock band Nevada Color and Edinboro folk singer/humorist Frank Marzano will perform. This year’s event also showcases four Thiel College students Talia Jackson ’21, of Meadville, Pa.; Sophia Kostoff ’21, of Akron, Ohio; Deanna Shaw ’18, of Gaylord, Mich.; and Ji Yoon Kim ’21, of Goyang, South Korea.

The annual celebration is also an opportunity for Thiel’s WXTC students to raise funds and awareness for VH1’s Save the Music Foundation, which raises money for public school music education.

The event is free for Thiel students and a $5 donation for the public.  All proceeds benefit VH1 and Thiel student media organization, WXTC 88.1 FM. A ticket auction/raffle is also planned. Students and guests can bid on bags containing gift cards, music, T-shirts and a few other surprises from local merchants.

The WXTC Music Festival brings together different genres of music to highlight the varied music and talk programming found on Thiel’s student-run radio station. The first performance is at 6 p.m. Marzano performs at 8 p.m. and headliner Nevada Color plays at 9.

Food and drinks are available in the Bistro until 11 p.m. For more information, email WXTC at WXTCradio@gmail.com or call WXTC adviser Peg Watts at 724-589-2090.
