The University of Oregon’s chapter Phi Kappa Psi will hold its second annual “Bring the Ruckus” philanthropy concert on April 30th @ 8:00 p.m. Phi Kappa Psi is the newest fraternity on Oregon’s campus and the only one that attracts popular artists to perform for a charitable cause every year. Last year, everyone from the audience to the artists had a rocking time and this year’s concert promises to build on last year’s success.
The headlining artist this year will be Starting Six, a popular group with roots in California’s Bay Area that has been picking up steam over the past year. The video for their hit single “Thirsty” currently has over 600,000 YouTube views (watch below) and has been a party anthem for countless college students this year.

Young Murph will also be returning to perform his crowd-pleasing classic hits from last year, such as “Nighttime” (watch below), along with some new songs like his new single, “Firefly”. After last year’s show, Young Murph was blown away by the crowd’s energetic reception and has said he can’t wait to come back.
With all the great performers at "Bring the Ruckus", it’s easy to forget that all this fun is for a truly great cause. Artists who perform for Phi Kappa Psi have been dedicated to lowering their performance fees so that Phi Kappa Psi can continue to donate all of the concert proceeds directly to charity. This year, Phi Kappa Psi will give to the Nicholas Colby Fund:
The Nicholas Colby Fund uplifts the spirits of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses creating opportunities to smile and enjoy the wonders of being a child.
It’s a continuing story of love, hope, caring, and inspiration. Cancer touched and took the life of a little boy, but it didn't take the spirit of a child full of hope and dreams. The hope he could feel like a normal child, the dreams of being free and simply playing & having fun.
Through special relationships with children's hospitals and organizations ranging from the Golden State Warriors professional basketball team, Samsonite international luggage company, and local specialty markets like Diablo Foods and stores like Papyrus, a unique community of people has been created enabling events & experiences to be delivered all year long to children.
The concert will open with a short presentation by co-founder of the Nicholas Colby Fund, Lamont Gilbert, who will speak on how having a terminally ill child has affected his life and what we as college students can do to help make children in unfortunate situations smile.
The concert will be held in the Agate Hall Auditorium at Agate Hall on the University of Oregon’s campus. Tickets are available at the EMU box office for $7 or $10 at the door. If you can't make it to the concert or know somebody else who wants to help out, you're encouraged to give at our donation page set up to expand our fund raising efforts for the Nicholas Colby Fund.
