PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State University will present the Steptoe Bluegrass Band and a pair of movies next week (July 5-7) as part of Campus Involvement’s summer entertainment.
The Steptoe Bluegrass Band will perform from noon to 1p.m. Wednesday, July 7. The four-man band from Moscow, Idaho, plays a variety of music, ranging from bluegrass, folk, swing and jazz with carefully crafted arrangements and vocal blends. Husband-and-wife band members Von Walden and Tina Hilding have played music together for nearly 20 years, Walden on guitar and banjo and Hilding on stand-up bass. Pining for bluegrass when they moved to Moscow four years ago, the pair joined Paul Hill and Paul Anders, both fiddle and mandolin players, to form Steptoe. University Catering will sell food at the event. In case of rain, the concert will move to the Compton Union Building Lair.
“The Butterfly Effect,” the thriller starring Ashton Kutcher, will be shown at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 6, in the CUB auditorium. Admission is free. Evan Treborn, played by Kutcher, travels back in time, his present-day mind occupying his childhood body, in an attempt to rewrite history and spare his friends and loved ones traumatic experiences. His time travel, however, has caused him to lose track of time. The movie is R-rated.
“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” will be shown at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday, July 8 in the CUB auditorium. Admission is free. Charlie Bucket, a little boy with no money and a good heart, has dreams of buying candy that other children enjoy. He enters into a magical world when he wins a chance to visit the mysterious chocolate factory owned by the eccentric Willy Wonka. The movie is G-rated.
