involved in the life of the university. A Connection Point table will be set up
at Friday Night Live where students can swipe their IDs for credit for their
attendance.

Alumni Relations will also have a tent set up. Athletic Director Chris Massaro
will provide brief remarks before the featured act to remind the crowd about the

According Main Street Murfreesboro, Everyday People was
started by Wendell Bigsby-Church and Katrice Donaldson in 2011. Wendell
“Bizz,” eldest son of Nashville legend Jimmy Church, has opened up for
James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Lil Richard and many more. Donaldson has sung
backup for Yolanda Adams on the Dove Awards, BeBe Winans, Kirk Franklin and
many other elite artists.
Their band “hosts dynamic talents from Nashville natives and
all-American transplants who have dedicated their lives to their craft,”
according to Main Street.
