WVUD radiothon fund-raising concert set Feb. 17

D. Goode

2:04 p.m., Jan. 27, 2006--D. Goode, the rhythm and blues artist celebrated for giving traditional riffs modern treatments, will appear in concert at 8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 17, in the Bacchus Theatre in the Perkins Student Center.

Scheduled as part of the annual radiothon for WVUD (91.3 FM), UD’s community radio station, the concert will kick off with an introduction by Reggie Hudson, WVUD radio show host and general manager. Opening acts will include DJ Amaze and poetry by S.P.I.T. (the student group Stimulating Prose, Ideas and Theories).

The event is being billed as an upscale event with a romantic flair, in honor of Valentine’s Day, and is particularly geared for couples.
