We’ve played at some football games in the fall and I’m just so grateful to the university for these opportunities and just to kick off summer. That's such an honor and it’s going to be a great summer of music here at the Purdue Memorial union,” Scott said.

One West Lafayette resident, Kate Zipay, works at the university and says the concert series will be an ideal way for her family to spend their Friday nights this summer.
