Homecoming Pep Rally Concert featuring Gage Gardiner

About this event

The K-State Alumni Association is introducing a new element to this year’s Homecoming celebration: a concert. Gage Gardiner will perform sets before and after the Homecoming Pep Rally at the Larry Norvell Band Shell in City Park. Gardiner is a singer-songwriter whose music is grounded in the rugged authenticity of his Kansas ranching roots where he grew up. Gardiner will begin the first performance at approximately 5:40 p.m. with the second to begin after the Pep Rally, which will start at 6:30 p.m. The concert is expected to last until 8 p.m. Gardiner won the Cowboys & Indians Magazine Hometown Harmonies Competition, and has performed alongside artists such as Cody Canada and Josh Ward. He recently released four original songs that speak to life and love in rural America. They include the rodeo-themed Nowhere, the romantic Firefly Eyes, the sorrowful Sweet Forgiveness and the nostalgic Red Hills.
