Student Loan heads to Mideast
The Student Loan, a new grass band originally from Bowling Green, is set to head back overseas on a State
Department sponsored tour.
Throughout November and December the band, now located in Portland, Ore., will travel to present concerts
and workshops in Cyprus, Italy, Algeria, Afghanistan and Yemen.
Earlier this year the band, which plays a mix of bluegrass, jazz and rock, did a similar tour of
Southeast Asia, after having been selected for the Rhythm Road program, through Jazz at Lincoln Center.
The success of that tour led the State Department, the sponsor of Rhythm Road, to offer the band a second
tour, said Liz Chibucos recently.
