Student-Produced Concert Brings Hot-Rising Band SHAED to Amphitheater

SHAED, a Washington, D.C.-based alt-rock-pop trio comprised of powerhouse vocalist Chelsea Lea and multi-instrumentalist twins Max and Spencer Ernst take Converse College’s Rainey Amphitheater stage May 13 in an entirely student-produced rock show. “Lee’s vocals weave divinely through the Ernst twins’ pop-sensible production that can make anyone move,” says Sputnikmusic.com.

“Their debut single, ‘Just Wanna See,’ is a genre-bending slow jam that has received international praise and favorable comparisons to bands like Florence + the Machine, Sia, Justin Timberlake, and Sylvan Esso.”

SHAED marks the third student-promoted concert in Converse’s two-year-old Music Business & Technology Certificate program. John Jeter, a former co-owner for The Handlebar, Greenville’s now-shuttered venue, helped jumpstart the curriculum at the all-women’s college. The all-ages concert is open to the public.
