New Season!

Submitted by keenan_nurmsoo on Sat, 02/12/2011 - 6:05pm.

We're well into the winter season of shows here at SPIRITlive, and so far, things are looking great. There are plenty of shows that have returned from last season, and just as many that are just starting off. There's pretty diverse range of genres covered, too, so it shouldn't be too hard for anyone to find something they'd love. We've also got some pretty exciting plans for this season at SPIRIT, with a planned return of the super-successful, super-amazing Third Floor Sessions concert series. We'll keep you posted!

Last Week of Shows for the Fall 2010 Season

Submitted by keenan_nurmsoo on Thu, 12/02/2010 - 12:56pm.

We've had a pretty amazing run of shows this season on SPIRITlive, but all good things must come to an end. We'll be ending this season's regular programming on Friday, December 3rd to coincide with the end of the academic term and the beginning of the winter break. Never fear, though, because we'll be starting up our regular programming once the new term starts up in January 2011. In the meanwhile, we at SPIRIT recommend feeding the addiction by going through any archived shows you may have missed - they're way better than Christmas music if you're looking for something to get you into the SPIRIT of the season (ZING!).
