Motion to Play - Event Recap

Hey Remedy Fans!

On behalf of the Remedy team and the ensemble of talented musicians involved with Thursday night's event, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for your enthused attendance and support at our "Motion to Play" concert. We hope this evening took some of the stress out of midterm season (or at least provided a warm shelter from the cold).


The night began with an admirable feat of hard labor that transformed a humble lounge (much like the ones from freshman year dorm life) into a hunk of burnin' love. Thanks to Kana and the incredible Event Productions team!

Jeni Chan opened the show by gracing the audience with sweet self-expression through vocals and a keyboard. The songs spoke of bittersweet romance to which we could all relate (or at least imagine), not to mention some delicious "Begionno." Chris Severn with his effortless charm strummed his way into the hearts of every female listener in the audience, only to break each one after they found out that his unforgettable lyrics were inspired by a certain very special Miss Worth-the-Long-Distance, who will be visiting from Pennsylvania this weekend!

Molly Roy's fusion of Idol-worthy vocals and Chilean-inspired strummin' brought about a wave of applause that stunned the group of drunk freshman passing by outside (yes, Jeff Wiguna attempted to give them some of our breathtaking Remedy stickers). Then, C.F. Bostwick delivered his own finger-picking arrangement that got me on my feet - this guy was born to perform. Keep it comin', Chris Frye!

Eni and friends closed up the show on two electric guitars (one of which is over 30 years old) and a trumpet. She ended on a song that could only be described as "sexy." If you can say "Sandwiches are good" in French, I suggest you get in touch with Eni.

"Motion to Play" captured the heart of the Remedy Music Project - musicianship and community. We'd also like to extend a special thanks to Jenna Levy for igniting exciting opportunities between The Rights Workshop and the Remedy Music Project.


On behalf of the Remedy team, we hope you thoroughly enjoyed the event. Check back on the website at www.remedymp.com and at our blog regularly for pictures of the event or for more updates. Please feel free to contact us at remedymp@gmail.com if you have any questions, want to get involved, or if you just want to share a genuine conversation with a group of music lovers who want to make a difference.
