Big names in music are coming to the Baylor campus.
At 7:30 p.m. Friday, Common Grounds welcomes back Sondre Lerche, a Norwegian singer-songwriter whose talents range from a “jazz band leader, a punk howler, a would-be Springsteen [and] a transatlantic teen idol.”
“To say I’m formally trained is giving me more credit,” Lerche said in a biography available via his official website. “I still to this day cannot read music.”
“I first heard her at an open-mic at Common Grounds, but when I first saw her I was like, ‘This girl is a creative genius.’ I have to meet her and play music with her,” said Andrew Hulett, member of Waco-based band Lomelda.
