RIT's second annual Unlabeled Music Festival, part of SpringFest 2024, will showcase over 40 student acts across four stages in the innovative SHED building on April 20. From rock bands to a cappella and electronic music, the festival highlights the growing interest and talent in performing arts at RIT.

An afternoon featuring 25 student bands or individual artists is set for Sunday, April 16, in two venues at RIT. Called “RIT Unlabeled Music Festival,” the genres represented include electronic dance music, funk, pop, rock, rap, metal, grunge, punk, fusion, and jazz.

WROC-TV talks to mechanical engineering major Jared MacKenzie; computer science major Anthony Roberts; and Karl Stabnau, visiting lecturer for music business and performing arts initiatives, about RIT's Tiger Records initiative.

For years, Rochester Institute of Technology students have been able to take music lessons. But now, they can also learn more about the music industry by taking a class about artist management, recording, production, and marketing.
