The Palm Beach UCF Alumni Chapter gathered April 30 to rock out to fellow Knights in FELICITY, the Jonnie Morgan Band, and Kasson, all of whom performed during the SunFest Music Festival, which hosts 50 bands on three stages over five days at the West Palm Beach waterfront.

Damien Fagiolino, ’14, is the vocalist for American Hard Rock band FELICITY. Their first single, “Gold,” was selected by the Remix Your Future company to be put on the “Best of the City: Orlando Edition” album, and has has more than 70,000 streams.

Four of the six members of horn-infused modern rock band, the Jonnie Morgan Band, are alumni, who include Jonnie Morgan, ’10, vocalist and rhythm guitarist; Brandon Sollins, ’11, lead guitarist; Jeremy Adams, ’12, bassist; and Corey Paul, ’13, trombonist. JMB headlined the 2013 Florida Music Festival and opened up for Cheap Trick in West Palm Beach, as well as played at the House of Blues Orlando, and UCF Homecoming in 2012.

Jordan Telesca, ’14, is the guitarist, saxophonist and vocalist for Kasson, which plays rock/gritty pop mixed with influences of indie/alternative. They’ve performed at The Big Orlando Festival and Warped Tour, playing alongside bands like Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Yellowcard, Anberlin (with frontman Stephen Christian, ’05), Paramore, and more.

Rock on, Knights!
