Description:
Virginia Tech Union and Pi Beta Phi sorority are sponsoring a benefit concert featuring hip hop/reggae group Fiction 20 Down and solo artist Devin Spear at 7:30 p.m. in Commonwealth Ballroom in Squires Student Center.

Hailing from Baltimore, MD, Fiction 20 Down (also known as F20D) delivers refreshingly diverse tunes that are at once upbeat, yet soothing; delightfully melodic yet rocking. Few bands are talented enough to pull of the wide array of styles F20D boasts while building and maintaining their own authentic identity. As lead singer Jordan Lally states on the 2010 track “Play On”, from the Let It Ride EP, “I am movin, yeah you can’t stop me,” displaying the band’s attitude that this is their music, their destiny, and nothing is gonna stand in their way.
