Happy Jacks to Perform May 9 at UW

The Happy Jacks, the University of Wyoming’s resident male a cappella group, will close out the spring semester with a free public performance Saturday, May 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts concert hall.

Songs will include a cappella renditions of pop and contemporary tunes through the decades.

Other members of the group are: Kevin Baldwin and Jeremy Filipiak, of Laramie; Ross Breedlove and Matt Osmotherly, both from Torrington; Dillon Inglee, of Parker, Colo.; Wheatland’s Brendan Ruwart; and Austin Wilcox, from Casper.
