Kathryn Akers Local Music Journalist I met Connor last spring semester through a mutual friend. At the time, I was unaware he was a musician. Shortly after meeting Connor, he, our mutual friend, and I were at a fast-food chain in San Marcos.

Emma Paff Music Journalist Walking up to Stubbs Waller Creek Amphitheater, I didn't know what to expect. Little Simz brought her Year of the Lotus tour to Austin this past Tuesday, and while I was unfamiliar with her music, I was looking forward to experiencing something new.
