Meet the Students Behind the Sound: UVA’s Battle of the Bands Winners
From late-night dorm room jam sessions, a rained-out show and a misheard lyric, Loose Champagne has proven that great things can come from passion and a little bit of luck. The University of Virginia-based band and winners of the University Programs Council’s Battle of the Bands will open Saturday for American rapper and record producer Quavo at John Paul Jones Arena. Doors open at 6 p.m., and entry is free for students with a UVA ID. Tickets are also on sale to the public.
