Paper Route, an indie rock band from Nashville, will present a benefit concert at Freed-Hardeman University Thursday, Jan. 27. The concert, sponsored by FHU’s University Program Council, will begin at 8 p.m. in Loyd Auditorium.
The group made their major label debut in April 2009 when Universal Records released “Absence.” It reached number 13 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Paper Route’s music has been featured on television shows and in the movie “(500) Days of Summer.”
Admission to the concert is free with a donation of canned food items. UPC is partnering with FHU’s chapter of Students in Free Enterprise to raise 5,000 cans of food for the hungry. Their effort is a part of Campbell Soup’s “Let’s Can Hunger Challenge.”
“Let’s Can Hunger” is a comprehensive hunger challenge that includes raising awareness, offering hunger relief, and empowering the needy to defeat the cycle of hunger. Campbell’s Soup offers incentives to SIFE chapters in the USA, Canada and Mexico for their successful participation in the challenge.
