The game ended with huge roars from the crowd, celebrating the close-call win. The women’s basketball team also had a strong performance, with its 85-60 victory Feb. 26 full of action. With Mikayla Blakes leading the Commodore’s scoring with 35 points, the Lady ’Dores escaped a close first half with the Crimson Tide.  
Jeffery Epstein survivor Jess Michaels spoke at Vanderbilt on Feb. 23 at Sarratt Cinema. Throughout her lecture, she shared her research and advocacy for sexual assault survivors, specifically addressing the trauma response from sexual assault. She also publicly announced the official release of her #withyoutoo app, designed to build a support network for sexual assault survivors, encouraging the audience to download and provide feedback on the app. Approximately 300 people, mainly students, attended the lecture.  
The eighth annual TN Campus Civic Summit took place at Central Library Feb. 27, hosted by the Tennessee Democracy Network. The 10-person panel touched on the social impact of student activism and relevant social impact organizations, including Dialogue Vanderbilt. The summit discussed topics such as reproductive healthcare, student involvement in political engagement and pitches from individual civic organizations from across Tennessee. The summit revolved around the idea of the need to advocate in a time of constant change, pushing attendees to act within their communities. 
The Wombats concluded their “Oh! The Ocean!” tour at the Brooklyn Bowl Feb. 21. Cigarettes @ Sunset rocked in their “possum rock” style, a blend of Appalachian and indie, with a highlight of their performance being their song “The Dangers of Banjo Maintenance,” a reflection of the ongoing crowd’s energy. The Wombats started out their set with the song “Moving to New York,” with the band actively moving across the stage throughout their performance. The Wombats ended with performances with “Dancing to Joy Division,” providing a joyous atmosphere throughout the night.  
Clinton Kane performed at the Basement East Feb. 22, as part of his 4350 Live tour following the release of his album “4350 S Halupei Way.” The Australia-raised singer-songwriter Julian Ray performed on stage with a guitar in front of an audience of all ages. Fans were seen stomping their feet as he performed the track “downtown calagry,” and the overall performance was described as extremely intense with fans actively cheering. At 9 p.m. CST, Clinton Kane came on stage playing the piano as he opened his performance with “do i even know me.” The silkiness of his lyrics contrasted with the grittiness of his voice, providing the perfect backdrop for a pre-planned marriage proposal by an audience member at the end of the concert. 
Peter McPoland rocked the Brooklyn Bowl Feb. 22, opened by Irish-Americana folk duo DUG. The show started with the dark kickdrum beats of “Big Sundown” as DUG provided the audience with a trans-Atlantic Appalachian sound. The group ended their set with a cover of “Cumberland Gap,” while encouraging the audience to dance together. McPoland and his band began their set by grouping around a single microphone together, before performing a cover of  “Dead Air.” McPoland ended the show with the fittingly named “Last Looks” without an encore.   
Maggie Linderman performed at the Basement East Feb. 24, providing a performance full of confidence, anger, obsession, lots of heartbreak and everything in between. Ayleen Valentine opened the show, coming on stage with a bedazzled guitar before throwing her guitar pick into the crowd mid-set. After Valentine finished, Linderman came on stage, dressed in her signature gritty style. One of the highlights of the night was when she performed “fang” and “spine,” paired to chastise a “spineless man.” She ended the night with “hear me out” after fans in the audience chanted for an encore, ending a set all about the rebounds of heartbreak.
