UH welcomed a local rising star to show off his talent to students.
Local country and western singer Brant Croucher performed in the Go Texan Day event. Croucher performed Friday evening at Lynn Eusan Park alongside his band.
Although this isn’t Croucher’s first performance, he said that every performance is different and special.
“We had a great time,” Croucher said. “I think it’s cool to have things like this on campus, so everyone can come and hang out.”
Biochemistry and mathematical biology senior and Frontier Fiesta board member Kelley Poblete believed the concert was a great success and was glad that they picked Croucher to perform his style of music.
“The concert was awesome, and it’s kind of cool to see someone come back and be successful,” Poblete said.
During the performance, students danced along to the rhythm. Students even sang along to Croucher’s cover to Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me.” Media production junior Justin Lyles said the concert was not only a show but also to celebrate the opening of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
“They are really talented, and I’m not a country person,” Lyles said. “I thought the event was really good and had elements of all of life with not only the fraternities, but all of the programs who were here to celebrate the opening.”
Croucher said he believed the event had a great turnout. He said he was able to get the crowd going because of not only his performance but also what student organizations did in order to get students to come out and have fun.
“In student events like these, you need to find music that everybody likes,” Croucher said. “I played my music and other music people know, and at the end of the day, people have a good time.”
