Her Campus VCU 4th Birthday Fest

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at VCU chapter.

Her Campus VCU celebrated its fourth birthday on Saturday at Campus Correspondent and Editor-in-Chief Sarah Pentecost’s off-campus house. The theme was music festival!

We also had live music! Lucy Dacus, VCU sophomore, played first and sang us some of her original songs. She has a beautiful voice! Next up was VCU freshman Sam Tucker. He played some covers that were fun to sing along to! VCU junior (and former Campus Celebrity!) Macon Mann made a quick appearance just before local musician (also a former Campus Celebrity!) Dane Ferguson sang us some of his original tunes along with a cover of “Ignition.” The last performance was by members of the local band Dharma Bombs, whose cover of “The Nightman” had everyone dancing and singing along!
