Northern Michigan Artist Discovery, or NoMAD, has brought multiple up-and-coming artists to NMU's campus, offering free concerts for students. Their mission is to promote local and underground music by giving bands a platform to perform on campus. The group is run by a staff of Northern students and funded by the Student Activity Fee. The group has brought such acts to NMU like Pond, Michigander, and Husbands.
NoMAD will continue its tradition of bringing local, regional, and underground musicians and bands to the NMU community with their "Rock the Garden" concert on Saturday, March 29th. The eco-friendly concert will feature Arlie and Liquid Mike, alongside a variety of collaborations; student vendors will sell merch, mocktails will be served, EcoReps will have a clothing swap, and SHINE will provide zero waste composting.

Kurt Hauswirth spoke with Amber Wager, NoMAD's president:
NoMAD presents "Rock the Garden," a free concert featuring Arlie and Liquid Mike on Saturday, March 29th at the Northern Center Grand Ballroom. Doors open at 7 pm with music starting at 7:30. The show is free with an NMU ID or $10 for the general public.
