THE BATTALION
Concert marks beginning of classes, football
By Anne Hoar
Tbe Battalion
The eighth annual Ag Kickoff will fire up tonight at the
Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater, marking the start of school
and celebrating the beginning of the football season.
This year’s concert will feature performances by Texas
acts Pat Green, Pushmonkey, Cary Pierce and Dub Miller.
Country comedian Doug Moreland will be the master of
ceremonies.
Pat Green returns to College Station to headline the
Ag Kickoff.
“Playing in the fall is always fun because everyone’s
excited to be hanging out with their buddies again,”
Green said. “The school is steeped in tradition, and the
Ag Kickoff is slowly working itself into a tradition of its
own. It’s a very fun project to be involved in.”
The term “Texas music” is often used to describe
Green’s music.
“It’s anything that’s more roots-driven and not com
mercial,” Green said. “It’s more of a true art form than
the pop-country that you hear on the radio.”
He said that the goal of his music is to bring the days
of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings back to the coun
try music scene.
Green’s performance will feature music from his new
album, Carry On. It features new material, and Green
calls it one of his favorite projects.
After the Ag Kickoff, Green will perform at Farm Aid,
the concert held to benefit family farmers, on Sept,
in Washington D.C. Willie Nelson. Barenaked Ladies^
and John Mellencamp will also perform at Farm Aid.
Green said he is a fan of Jackopierce and he is j
excited to perform with Pierce, a co
founder of the band, at the Ag Kickoff.
Green and Pierce both have roots in,
the College Station music scene.
Pierce will open the show. Pierce i
returns to College Station after tour- i
ing the country in support of his de- J
but solo album, \bu Are Here.
“It’s great seeing the
old Jackopierce fans
again and creating
new fans,” Pierce
said. “It’s exciting
to see more and
more people
singing along to
my new stuff
than the old
stuff.”
Pierce said
that he will play Jackopierce songs such as “Vineyard"
and “Trials” and “The Best Thing" and "Home,” hits
from his new album.
Pierce’s former band dissolved after 10 years and six
records together.
“It was just time to call it quits,” Pierce said. “I think
that Jack always wanted to go to New York and be an ac
tor. and I always wanted to do a solo career.”
This will be Pierce's first time to perform at Ag Kick
off as a solo artist. He played the annual concert asa
member of Jackopierce three times.
“Ag Kickoff always has ait awesome crowd ... and it
gets bigger every year.” Pierce said. “Jackopierce’s
biggest following was in College Station, and I’m look
ing forward to doing the show. I'll definitely be hanging
out in the crowd after my show. ... Connecting with the
fans is always one of my favorite parts of my shows."
Pushmonkey, a group inspired by AC/DC and KISS,
will add a more modern rock sound to the concert.
Guitarist Will Hoffman said the group is excited to
perform at the Ag Kickoff.
“We'll get a chance to show some country-loving Ag
gie fans a chance to rex'k.” Hoffman said.
Hoffman said the group has fans from a variety of
backgrounds in College Station and the fans alwaystura
out in bjg numbers and get involved in the show.
College Station fans were filmed in a pottior
of the \ ideo for “Caught my Mind,” which
H^was filmed during a live performance at
the Texas Hall of Fame. The video was
awarded No. 1 video at the Austin Mu
sic Awards during South by Southwest
in March. The "Caught my Mind" video
l was recently featured on the HBOdra
f ma “The Sopranos.”
The members of Pushmonkey are cut
rently writing songs for their next album
which they plan to release in early 2001
