SMSU to Host ELOUR in a Free Concert, Dec. 5
Published Saturday, November 23, 2024
The SMSU Creative Writing Program and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion will host ELOUR for a free concert on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024 at 7:00pm in the Conference Center Lower Level as part of the on-going Visiting Writer’s Series. The band ELOUR features singer-songwriter Elizabeth Ghandour.
ELOUR (“allure”) is what Elizabeth Ghandour categorizes as Femme Rock. Ghandour’s direct lyrics, diverse background and classically trained voice, combined with Ned Barclay’s soaring guitar, Joe Scarpellino’s tasty bass and Ryan Vee’s creative drumming, yields a sound that’s raucous, rebellious, and yet very stylish. Ghandour is half-Lebanese and her musical styling is heavily influenced by country music as well as her previous experiences as both a folk singer and opera singer.
As part of her visit, Elizabeth Ghandour will also join the second installment of Creative Conversations on Thursday, December 5 at noon in the Holm & Dacey Lounge located in Bellows Academic 219. This series features intimate conversations with working artists about how to make a life in the arts! Ghandour will also be visiting various classrooms on December 4th and 5th.
