• "Headshine, played Whitworth University in the Hixson Union Building Multipurpose Room on Wednesday, Oct 14. Between every song, they shared a story behind why they wrote it or decided to play it. Overall, their inspirations came from several different places. One song, "Go with the Flow," was written after an awful river float experience on their trip from Idaho to Utah. What was supposed to be a peaceful river excursion quickly turned into a not so pleasant situation, but it inspired them to write a song about it. "Rivers just show you something about yourself," RAS said. Their witty banter between songs kept the audience engaged and made for a more intimate setting. Their stage presence was very relaxed, and it was obvious they enjoyed playing and interacting with the audience." -Whitworthian, Spokane Washington
