Both the food and the activities are low-commitment. Grab and go if you’re in a rush, or stay and craft if you have time. No sign-ups. No experience needed. Each session we will be co-hosting with a different campus department, making it an easy, low-key way to meet people, learn about campus resources, and feel more connected—especially for commuter students or anyone short on time.

Brian Blade in conversation concert
From around age nine to age 13, Brian Blade played violin in the school orchestra. Brian then took up drums, following in the footsteps of his older brother, Brady l. Blade, Jr. who played the drums in the Zion church.
During high school, both Brady, Jr. and Brian were students of Dorsey Summerfield, Jr. and performed as part of his professional group called “The Polyphonics.” During this time and through his experience with Mr. Summerfield, Brian began listening to the music of John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Elvin Jones, and Joni Mitchell.
In 1988, Brian moved to New Orleans to attend Loyola University. It was at this time that Brian met Jon Cowherd and the roots of the Fellowship Band began. Both Brian and Jon were able to study and play with most of the master musicians living in New Orleans, including John Vidacovich, Ellis Marsalis, Steve Masakowski, Bill Huntington, Mike Pellera, John Mahoney, George French, Germaine Bazzle, David Lee, Jr. Alvin Red… .
