[title size=”3″ style=”options: default, sidebar”]University Program Council Vice President Riley Vanek talks to Seeds about Lincoln Calling shows on UNL grounds for the first time in the decade-long history of the festival.[/title]

This year is the first year that UNL will be apart of the decade-old Lincoln Calling thanks to the efforts of the University Program Council (UPC) reaching out to Lincoln Calling coordinator Jeremy Buckley.

Vanek said that UPC started doing some work on putting together a “Local Indie  Showcase” last year but ran into some organizational dilemmas.  “It was a lot to manage—a lot of different artist contacts and the coordinating with a venue,” said Vanek. “So that’s kind of what led into getting ahold of Jeremy. He already is contacting these people; he’s organizing with them.”

The combination of the lengthy booking of bands done by Buckley for Lincoln Calling and the usefulness of UNL as a facility is what made it possible for UPC to bring Lincoln Calling to UNL.

While Lincoln Calling is a music festival held at various downtown venues simultaneously from Tuesday through Saturday, the shows at UNL will be Thursday and Friday from 4-8 p.m. Both days’ concerts are free and open to the public.

“The idea is to catch those students that see the poster and want to come as well as anyone that is in the area,” said Vanek. “Part of the timing, too, was to give people a chance to kind of have that walk through… it’s going to be when a lot of students are heading off campus, back home.”

Members from the council more or less chose what bands (both from the entire Lincoln Calling bill and in general) they knew and liked or that students would be interested in seeing perform. From there, the council sent the list to Buckley.

Vanek said that some of the regional bands that are coming to Lincoln Calling such as UNL headliners Desert Noises and DEERPEOPLE would give “the students that are more hooked into the local music scene [the chance to] also see a more regional artist on campus, too.”

Vanek said UPC would definitely like to host Lincoln Calling shows at UNL again in the future. “I know that’s always been one of our goals— to bring more of the local music onto campus and expose students to that,” Vanek said. “I see this as a really great way to facilitate that: We can build off of Lincoln Calling which is already this great local event and have the University be a part of that local music scene.”
