Sunday night rolls around every week, and with it all the homework us college kids are given throughout the week that we chose to procrastinate on.
Sam Pederson ’17 knows the struggle and that is why he airs his show, aka The Show, at 10pm to 12am on Sunday nights for anyone looking to hear some local music and get over the homework bump in front of them. He plays music of all genres excluding country and most EDM; however, Sam also does some live acoustic stuff with Kevin Kupiec ’17 when they are not into the playlist.
They mostly play covers but they are trying to come up with their own original songs in the future. Sam says, “Students should listen to my show because I play really honest music and everything I play is lyrically driven and very eclectic.”

When anyone listens to Sam’s show it should be noted that one has to listen to the music and sit with it rather than letting it in one ear and out the other because he plays music that has a deeper purpose than most music. Kevin adding, “His show blows, don’t listen to it.”
He got into music after being taken to his first Warp Tour when he was in 6th grade with his older siblings and some relatives, and he has been branching out from there. Now he finds music by going to live shows and word of mouth, as well as listening to free local music on Bandcamp.
Sam is also the booking director for WMXM, he is in charge of getting bands to play here on campus. He also promotes, plans, and produces the show. He has learned that anything can happen at any time and it has really pushed him to think on his feet because he should have a team of people behind him but he manages to do it on his own.
He wanted to add that WMXM is planning on doing a spoken word show in December, so look out for that.
