Thursday night, Dustin Lynch, a country singer from Nashville, performed a high-energy benefit concert to raise money for Alzheimer's disease research.

Sigma Kappa Sorority sponsored Dustin Lynch and his band to play in an effort to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. UT students and fans of Dustin Lynch gathered at New Amsterdam for an exciting concert. Lynch was conversational and engaging with the crowd.

"Knoxville is our favorite town to play in," Lynch said. Knoxville is our favorite town to play in.          Dustin Lynch

 The audience sang and danced with Lynch and his band throughout the night.

Lynch and his band performed rock cover songs like Oasis' "Wonderwall" and Bryan Adam's "Summer of 69." He played country covers like Kenny Chesney's "Out Last Night." He also played an original song that he said was inspired by "a chick in the crowd" from a few weeks ago.

The concert was exciting and the crowd had fun. The energy level was high throughout Lynch's entire four hour set.  Lynch performed in Knoxville earlier in the fall as well, but according to sophomore Kelly Owens, "last time he played more rock songs and this time he played more country." He is scheduled to return to Knoxville on November 21.
