One of my favorite parts of college is hosting my radio show, Electric Relaxation. Music is constantly on my mind—from the moment I wake up to when I turn off my lamp at night. Whether you're a friend I've talked into the ground about some obscure album or someone I bombard with song recommendations, music is the vessel I use to navigate this chaotic world.

There are about 50,000 students at Penn State University Park. Downtown, there streets are lined with dozens of bars, restaurants, and venues where students, professors, and locals come together over food, drinks, and live music.

For Little Blue and the Stargazers, a student quartet now entering their second year together, it's all about staying true to themselves. From Norah Jones to Stevie Wonder to Wes Montgomery, they lean into this range to shape a sound that mixes warmth, grooves, and soul.
