We Are Scientists receive rave reviews at Shepfest

Headlining this year's Shepfest was acclaimed rock trio We Are Scientists from Berkeley, California. The band played for about an hour on a temporary stage on Shepherd University's Midway, between the Student Center and Sarah Cree Hall on N. King Street. The event wrapped up around 6:30 p.m. with only minor disturbances reported on campus. After the concert concluded, a brief tour of residential Shepherdstown revealed that many locals, student and homeowner alike, were continuing festivities into the night. We Are Scientists received a glowing review from 89.7 WSHC-FM talk show host Nick Keresztury, who was interviewed by this reporter as crews were cleaning up the Midway after the show.
