ISTHMUS PICK
Thursday, Aug. 27, Memorial Union Terrace, 7:30 pm
In 2012, Phillip Phillips missed his college graduation due to American Idol duties. The no-show turned out to be a small price to pay as the singer-songwriter won the competition’s eleventh season. Though Phillips has since released two full-length records and toured with John Mayer and O.A.R., his most stellar accomplishment to date is “Home,” a track that’s sold over 5 million copies and become as unavoidable as one’s own home. It’s an anthem for American Family Insurance, and the Madison-based company is sponsoring this free concert.
Note: Due to the size of his band, Phillips will be playing on a temporary stage near the Union Theater. Show up early: Capacity will be capped significantly smaller than usual and, starting at 4 pm, Terrace access will be restricted to via Park Street near Shannon Hall.
