Second Wing Night of semester brings in country performers

By Rachel Mangan for The Yellow Jacket 3 min read

On Saturday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m., the Student Activities Board (SAB) will be hosting the well-known Wing Night. The second Wing Night of the year will take place in the Beehive and will be featuring the performance of “The Stickers.” “The Stickers” are a trio of brothers: Jim Wodarek is the oldest and plays drums; John Wodarek, the middle brother, plays bass and sings backup vocals; and the youngest brother Joe Wodarek is the lead singer and front man. 

The band also features two backup performers, a keyboardist and a guitar player. The group plays country music and recently performed at the Daytona 500 as the pre- and post-race entertainment. 

The trio hails from Pennsylvania and has recently released an extended play record (EP) entitled “The Stickers,” which includes their most popular song, “Countrified.” The song was featured on an episode of ABCís Nashville, and was also played at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, during the NHL All-Star game. 

They have also performed at the CMA awards three years in a row and play strictly Gibson Guitars. The group performed at the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series All-Star Race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

They have recently had a new hit called, “Ain’t Nothiní Better,” which is one of the most added radio songs three weeks in a row. This event is held several times a year and has a different performance each time. The last Wing Night featured a performance by 88 Keys: Dueling Pianos, which drew in a formidable crowd. Along with the appeal of musical performance, another important component of the Wing Night is the wings. Despite the fluctuating lack or abundance of them, the same amount of wings are provided at each wing night, but the amount of leftovers or frenzy to get the last few depends on the size of the crowd in attendance. 

“The wings are always really good and the bands that the school brings in to perform for us are awesome,” said Sadie Breon, a SAB member.

The SAB is hoping students come out and enjoy ìThe Stickers,î whose website features the upcoming concert in Waynesburg.

“If you are on the line about attending, or considering it at all, you should definitely attend,” said Breon. “You won’t be disappointed.”
