Known as NPR’s “Empress of the Unexpected,” Susan Werner proved why on Friday night. Her set shifted effortlessly across genres, folk, pop, blues, gospel, all tied together with sharp songwriting and that unmistakable Midwestern charm.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a special evening. And thank you to Susan Werner for sharing her talent with our community.

We’re grateful to continue bringing artists like this to campus.
