After not having a spring concert since 2019 because of covid protocols, UNK jumped on the
Gravy Train Thursday night for a packed crowd at the Health and Sports Center.
The Minnesota based rapper said he felt “right at home” inside the Health and Sports Center
near the beginning of his show, and played nearly thirty minutes after he was supposed to end the show.
Yung Gravy featured three songs from his latest album, Marvelous. Alongside “C’est La Vie” and “Betty (Get Money)”, he also performed “Dancing In The Rain”. Before this song, Gravy and his production team handed out bottled water to those in the pit, with the crowd spraying the water when the beat dropped, to give the feeling that the crowd was dancing in the rain.
Closer to the end of the concert, he wore a Loper mens basketball jersey on stage, after
changing out of the white coat that he entered on stage with. He would also toss autographed lunchables to the crowd, alongside other miscellaneous grocery items. At the end of his performance, he handed out roses to those in the pit.
Los Angeles based Chevy Woods opened the concert, performing songs from his 2020 debut album “Since Birth” and performing other hits to hype up the crowd. He performed in Wichita, KS the day prior, and flew out on Friday. He tweeted out Friday afternoon, “This has to be the smallest airport that I’ve ever been in lol 2 gates in Nebraska”.
The UNK concert was the start of a busy weekend for Yung Gravy, as he was performing at
SUNY Cortland two days later as part of their “Spring Fling” event. The week before, Gravy
performed at the University of North Alabama. His immediate touring future lightened up, as
he was set to perform at the now cancelled Bamboozle Festival at Atlantic City, NJ.
The Spring Concert was sponsored by LPAC, and is one of their largest events of the school year, alongside Homecoming. The final event for LPAC in the school year is their 5K Walk/Run, which is scheduled for May 6.
