Pitt alumna and full-time jazz-soul musician Joy Ike is returning to her old campus — this time, it’s to perform in the Emerging Legends Series, hosted by Calliope: Pittsburgh Folk Music Society.
The series is composed of weekly performances in Hillman Library’s Cup & Chaucer café and has been a reliable venue for Ike.
When asked about how her involvement began, Ike said, “I’ve done a few other performances with [Calliope] in the past, so it turns out the connection was already there. I was also part of the Emerging Legends Series last year.”
Ike loves being able to come back to Pitt. As a student, she commuted for all four years, a fact that she said is “probably [her] biggest regret.”
“College wasn’t really an ‘experience’ for me,” Ike said. “But college shows have always been my favorite and coming back is always really enjoyable.”
