Fun things are in store for the student body of South Alabama. Jaguar Productions will sponsor OneRepublic and Fabolous as part of the Crocs Next Step Campus Tour. OneRepublic and Fabolous will perform on , April 16 at the USA Mitchell Center.

OneRepublic is more than a one dimensional band. Their sound has been compared to a variety of artists, such as Keane and Radiohead, by the BBC's Clare Lydon. Lead singer Ryan Tedder not only produced many songs on their album "Dreaming Out Loud," but wrote several as well. The band includes Ryan Tedder on lead vocals, guitar and piano; Zach Filkins on lead guitar and backup vocals; Drew Brown on guitar; Brent Kutzle on bass and cello; and Eddie Fisher on drums.

Fabolous will also perform alongside OneRepublic. The rapper's "effortless" style of music has been praised by Entertainment Weekly as having "quotable" rhymes that "flow as quickly and cleverly as ever."

The first 500 USA students get in free. When those are sold out, USA students will be able to purchase tickets for $5. Students should make sure to bring their student IDs to the Mitchell Center ticket office. The free tickets are one per student IDs, and the $5 tickets are two per ID. General admission tickets are only $10. The concert starts at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. For ticket information, call (251) 460-6047.
