Jackopierce + Matt Scannell + Brian Vander Ark

In the early ‘90s, compilations from Evanston-based Aware Records introduced listeners to then-unsigned artists like Hootie And The Blowfish, the Verve Pipe and Better Than Ezra. 25 years later, the label has played a part in careers of acts like John Mayer, Train and Five for Fighting. Celebrating a quarter-century of music, Aware hosts this special acoustic show, featuring performances from Texas duo Jackopierce, Isaac Slade of The Fray, Matt Scannell of Vertical Horizon and Brian Vander Ark of The Verve Pipe. If you yearn for the gentle anthems of alt-rock's heyday, you should be in good company.
