Texas Country music fans should dust off their boots as Kevin Fowler is set to play the university\u2019s Homecoming Concert at 8:30 p.m., Oct. 25, at Mesquite Grove<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKevin Fowler was a suggestion of members from the Homecoming Committee and other TAMUK students who are Texas country music fans,\u201d Assistant Director of Student Activities Loreal Robertson said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHis musical journey began playing in rock bands before finding his footing as a solo act in the early 2000s in his home state of Texas, where he burst onto the scene with the celebrated album \u2018Beer Bait and Ammo\u2019 – a mainstay for fans to this day,\u201d according to Fowler\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Homecoming Committee meets each year to plan Homecoming events and activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are many processes in planning a concert,\u201d Robertson said. \u201cSecuring the musician is step one, securing the venue, executing the contract, contracting the sound and lights, advertising the event, and having proper security coverage just to name a few.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fowler has more than 190,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, 400,000 likes on Facebook and has amassed a following of more than 63,000 on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know a lot of people who are excited for the Kevin Fowler concert, including myself,\u201d Student Body President Ruben A. Martinez said. \u201cEvery year, no matter the artist, so many students and alumni show up to enjoy our homecoming concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been a longtime fan of Kevin Fowler and many of his songs since I was young.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to his website, Fowler released seven additional albums over the following 14 years after \u201cBeer Bait and Ammo,\u201d with his most recent released on Aug. 23, titled \u201cBarstool Stories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMost definitely, I will be at the concert. I enjoy being actively involved with the student body and my peers and what better way to interact with them, than with a concert by a great music artist?\u201d Martinez said.
