On Friday, December 1st, Redgate hosted their second to last show of the semester, presenting three acts to their loyal fanbase: Syracuse rapper Joe Driscoll, Buffalo band Oscar’s Cash, and NYC singer Spencer Arjang. December wasted no time bringing in a cold front, but that didn’t stop music fans from going out bundled up in leather coats and bomber jackets. The show had more laid-back energy than a typical Redgate barnburner, as concert-goers buzzed in and out.

Opening the show was Joe Driscoll, a Syracuse-native musician who has toured with the likes of Regina Spektor and The Sugar Hill Gang. Driscoll got the crowd moving with smooth rap verses and playful beatboxing. The set subverted the standard vibe of a Redgate show, with Driscoll showing his chops in rapping, producing, and beatboxing.

Next on the bill was Buffalo-based rock band Oscar’s Cash. Belting out jam and blues rock, the four-piece brought a breath of fresh air with their performance. Oscar’s Cash consists of brothers Owen Brandjes on lead guitar and vocals, Nico Brandjes on drums, Philip Marcello on rhythm guitarist, and Jake Cirpili on bass. The energy and electric groove of their electric guitar and drums had the entire crowd dancing throughout the set.

New York City artist Spencer Arjang finished the night with a magnetic indie rock vibe. His devotion to putting his all into the performance made it impossible to look away, drawing the crowd’s attention through every song. His cult following erupted for his biggest hit, “Dreamer,” in a testament to the success that the 22-year-old has already achieved. He also played his newest single, “Nevermind,” which released a week after the show on December 8th.

For Redgate’s penultimate show of the semester, an eclectic mix of rap, rock, and indie pop brought a great vibe to the venue’s loyal fans.
