The Gatherers, Motion Coaster, and The Strike conclude final night of Logan City Limits

The final night of of the Logan City Limits music and art festival ended with rock and dancing in the Taggart Student Center.

Artists Taylor Ross Wilson and Shua Taylor played some acoustic tunes to kick off the night. Both are local artists from Logan, Utah. Taylor is excited that Logan City Limits is growing every year.

“It is cool that Logan is getting put on the map as a place where art is appreciated here,” he said. “We have our own thing, and trying to build that—the fact we are doing it makes me appreciate it more.”

Local band The Gatherers brought their version of modern rock to the stage. Carolee Beck, lead vocalist and Utah State University student, sang a variety of the band’s original songs.

Motion Coaster got the crowd dancing for their first show in Logan. Their unique sound and uplifting energy radiated into the audience.

Dee Kei Waddell, lead vocalist, said, “We are bringing a different flavor than what you usually expect from a local band. Typically when we play in a city that have never heard of us, we always attract people and people are drawn to the sounds that we make.”

Along with the music, student artists also had the opportunity to display and sell their artwork during the show. Additionally, natural resource students set up tables showcasing some of the unique projects they are working on such as water conservation, recycling, and even a costume made of plastic bags.

The most highly-anticipated band of the night was The Strike. The six-piece band from Provo, Utah has gained a lot of popularity and will be releasing their new EP, “Bad Kids,” on April 24. They ended the night with their funky pop and rock sounds.

Behind the scenes, Aggie Radio made sure the bands were taken care of and all in attendance were having a good time. Brandon Ellis, the event director for this year’s festival, hopes that people come away from the festival knowing what Aggie Radio is all about.

“Our goal is always to promote Aggie Radio and make sure that people know we are here to provide a platform for local artists,” Ellis said. “My goal is that people hear Aggie Radio and they know exactly what we do, that we have a fun time, and that they tune in to discover what else the music industry has.”
