Texas Tech students not hopping out of town this three-day weekend can catch some live music 10 p.m. Saturday at The Blue Light as the Austin-based band The Everyday People is slated to perform.
The four-member band is comprised of Jeffrey David, acoustic guitar and vocals, A.D. Hernandez, lead guitar and vocals, Chris York, bass and vocals, and Mitch Cheatham, drums.
Saturday marks the band's third stop at The Blue Light, and David said the band's sound could be described as unique - especially to Lubbock.
The group's music is rock-infused soul, similar to the band Maroon 5, he said. The members come together to create a sound that is primarily rock with an eclectic element.
David said the band mates are not on tour right now; they just really love playing in Lubbock.
"We try and come to Lubbock every 10 to 12 weeks," the acoustic-guitar player said. "We're just coming to see you guys. Texas Tech is a great school."
York and David agreed one of the band's favorite parts about performing at The Blue Light is the outdoor barbecue pit that is right around the corner from the bar.
Along with checking out the cities in which they are tour, David said the band mates have a screen in their touring van, which keeps them pretty busy. He said they actually get along great while they are playing NCAA 2007 Football on Sony Playstation.
Along with touring the nation, David said one of the professional goals The Everyday People has this year is to sell about 30,000 copies of the "Catch Me" album, which was released in March.
David said musicians who make him say "wow" are artists like John Legend and John Mayer.
" He used to be this pop, bubble-gum guy, and he came out with something so original," David said of Mayer.
David said the band has been around for about two and a half years, with David and York writing most of the band's music.
York said he loves the energy he gets from the audience when he is on stage performing.
