Who Knows?

For ESU students out there...how many of you have been to the bookstore and seen the dude with the bald head and glasses sitting in that little office in the back of the store? Well, his name is Chuck Kagel, who, when he's not dutifully working at the University Store, is playing bass guitar with his band Who Knows.
The cool thing about the band is that most of the members can play more than one instrument and sing. Not all at the same time, of course. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Who Knows has a large repertoire of songs to pick from. They might play a little Paul Simon, then some Queen, and then maybe even move into a little Elvis. Even though they only play covers, it's interesting to see that they always find room to add their own creative spin on the songs. Sometimes they add long solos or even other, more obscure instruments.
The main goal of this band is just to have fun! One of the very first times I saw these guys, the violinist, Dale Barth, was down in the audience, standing on top of a chair, playing right to his fans...all while wearing a shirt that said "HOT AS BALLS." Indeed. (Read the full review of that show here.)
The band is playing a benefit for the ESU Tourism Club tomorrow night at Siamsa Irish Pub from 10-2. Word on the street is that there might be some leprechauns and Irish dancers hanging around the Pub, too.
