Chinua Hawk and Chris Cauley left an impact on CMU students.
The two musicians impressed students Friday night during Program Board's "Urban Coffeehouse" concert in Pearce 128.
"I could hardly stay seated, the groove had gotten to me," said Brooke Willis, Paw Paw junior. "It was awesome."
More than 50 people attended the coffeehouse concert.
The two men entertained the crowd with the assistance of Shannon Wickline on keyboards, at the free concert. CMU was one of the many stops on the duo's "Brother from Another Mother" tour.
"We like coffeehouse shows because they're small and more intimate," said Haley Rank, Marysville senior and Program Board concert chair.
Russ Pfafflin said at some large concerts it's hard to see the artist.
"It's smaller. You can hear the band better and see them up close," the Allen Park freshman said.
Hawk and Cauley's music included several original songs and a couple of well-known oldies.
"Our music is a mix of gospel, R&R, soul and pop," Cauley said.
Hawk and Cauley started performing together less than a year ago after meeting each other at a convention . Their tour started in August and will continue through December.
This was the second time Hawk and Cauley have been to CMU. Last year the pair performed at Program Board's annual charity auction.
"The crowd that was here was into the music," Rank said.
Program Board also provided coffee, hot chocolate and snacks during the concert.
Program Board plans to host another coffeehouse concert next semester. Their next event will be a showing of "Clerks II" Wednesday in Pearce 128.
