The Prime Time Band thrills crowd at noon concert

The Prime Time Band, formed this past February at Western Washington University, performed Wednesday, July 20, in the Underground Coffeehouse as part of the WWU Associated Students' summer noon concert series. The 6- to 11-person ensemble plays originals influenced by the classic sounds of Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson’s “Off The Wall” album, Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones while incorporating their own unique modern flavor.

One date remains in the noon concert series: Campfire OK will perform in the PAC Plaza July 27.
