The Mowgli’s, an alternative rock band from southern California, will be the featured performer at Southwestern University’s fourth annual Clusterfest
music festival, which will take place April 6 in the Corbin J. Robertson Center.

The Mowgli’s was formed in 2010 and self-released their first studio album, “Sound the Drum,” in 2012, and later released their first major label album, “Waiting for Dawn,” in 2013. Their hit single “San Francisco” was released under this album and reached #11 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs chart and hit #3 on the Adult Album Alternative (AAA) charts. The band consists of eight members whose harmony strives to spread the message of love and togetherness.

Other artists scheduled to perform at this year’s Clusterfest include The Jane Doze, Bart Crow, and Radical Something. Student musical performers include DJ Lips (featuring senior Jake Phillips), The Jalapeño Heads (featuring senior Steven Resnik), Zac Cleveland & The Great Family Revival (featuring juniors Zac Cleveland, Kenny Klinglesmith, Joshua Page and Marie Smith and seniors John Lind and Anne Stankus), and Unexpected Circles (featuring first-year students Kabi Kamau, Abby Bowers, William Soller, Alan Peralta and Rachel Kaplan).

“Last year we really diversified the lineup and that’s what we’re trying to continue this year,” said Clusterfest co-chair Claire Wirht. “We want there to be something for everyone − that’s the whole point of having a festival.”

Clusterfest is planned by the University Programming Council and the Clusterfest Think Tank. The other student co-chairs of this year’s event are Katherine Freeman and Mica Radu.

“After the three of us worked closely together on last year’s Clusterfest, we were thrilled to collaborate in bringing the Southwestern community the festival they anxiously await  every year,” Freeman said. “It’s so nice being able to see fellow students enjoy themselves like they do at Clusterfest. That’s definitely a big motivator in making this year’s festival even greater!” added Radu.

A wide variety of food vendors will be present at this year’s Clusterfest, located right outside the Robertson Center. Amy’s Ice Cream will be back alongside other diverse food vendors, including Southwestern’s own student-run Korouva Milk Bar. Artist and organizational booths will also be located outside the Robertson Center.
