Tigerman Woah is a rock and roll band from Lynn, MA that’s been singing and hollering and stomping their working class boots since 2012. With a sound somewhere between Woody Guthrie and Motörhead, they have taken the trendy nostalgia for the great early music of the U.S. South and Appalachia and combined it with the punk and rock and roll they were raised on.  The upright bass and banjulele create a folky addition to the otherwise raucous lead guitar, drums, and gang vocals. Their live shows are an energetic crucible of aggression and tenderness, marked by audience participation, flying hair, and heavy beer drinking. What started as a couple of underemployed friends learning songs off the American Anthology of Folk Music and the George Mitchell Collection has become a locally celebrated brotherhood dedicated to making music that moves people into mosh pits and onto picket lines. Since the band formed around their first EP in June of 2012 they’ve put out four more releases and played hundreds of shows, mostly around the northeastern U.S.

About the pantry: We serve. We don’t judge. We don’t gossip. We serve MCC’s students, faculty and staff so we can all succeed. The Cougar Pantry and Career Clothing Closet is open to all students, faculty and staff who are in need. The Cougar Pantry provides solutions to temporary problems that can negatively impact your academic career. We also are in the process of creating partnerships with community service providers to address issues off-campus that can interfere with your academic career. According to MSNBC, Feeding America’s 2014 Hunger in America report estimates that roughly 10 percent of its 46.5 million adult clients are currently students, including about two million people who are attending school full-time. Nearly one-third of those surveyed—30.5 percent—report that they’ve had to choose between paying for food and covering educational expenses at some point in the last year. Don’t wait until you have to make this choice. Come visit us today! Contact Gordon Plouffe, AmeriCorps VISTA, 860-512-3285 or T.J. Barber, Director of Student Activities, 860-512-3282.
