The 7:30 p.m. concert, which is free and open to the public, features Coastal music students Elise Testone and Stephen Webb, accompanied by a band of Coastal musicians.

Both study under Coastal's David Bankston, associate professor of performing arts and veteran performer. Testone and Webb have had leading roles in performances for the Edwards College Fall Gala.

The program will include Testone performing songs such as Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart," Phoebe Snow's "Shaky Ground" and Erykah Badu's "Appletree," as well as her original song, "Soothing Beauty."

She and Webb will perform Elton John's "Young Song" in duet. Webb's songlist includes Chris Isaak's "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing," Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely," Adam Guetell's "Awaiting You" and more.
