Blinding lights of purple, red, blue and green spin across the hardwood floors of The Heart event venue in Idaho Falls. The audience jerks their heads up and down in motion with the quaking beat of the drums and the electric rhythm of guitars up on stage.

At the back of the stage, Andrew Davis, a junior studying geology, sits at the drums, flicking his wrists in a blurring motion, nodding his head up and down with the rhythm. Up front, Preston Coover, a junior studying mechanical engineering, strums his fingers across a bass guitar.

The crowd erupts into cheers as Marcus Raddon, the only Brigham Young University-Provo student among BYU-Idaho students and a junior in chemical engineering, dances toward the mass of the people with his guitar, while Roman Iurato, a junior studying nursing, screams lyrics into the microphone.

For a year now, the student band Track Club has traveled around Rexburg and surrounding towns performing small concerts with song covers and original compositions.

Each band member developed a love for music from a young age.

Coover said he learned to play guitar through a friend, Davis and Iurato said it was through listening to various music genres, and Raddon said he learned electric bass in middle school.

Despite their similar backgrounds, each musician grew up in different areas. Since Raddon grew up in California, Iurato in Arizona, Coover in Texas and Davis in Minnesota, each of them experienced a wide range of music genres and trends. BYUI allows them to band together and pursue their passion for music side by side.

However, long before Track Club was formed, Raddon and Coover were a part of a band called Blush, which later formed into Track Club after other members moved out of the area.

Through not-so-distant connections and a common passion for performing, four college students banded together to share what they love with the community.

Raddon said performing "feels like an opportunity to give the audience a fun and interesting show. A show where they can see music being performed well."

Performing for an audience brings a smile to the band members' faces and helps them embrace the moment.

Coover said, "I like performing because I like seeing all the smiling faces and people cheering and I have fun with other people having fun."

After a year of dedication, Track Club has created and shared its original songs across Rexburg and Idaho Falls. Through working with other local bands to rent locations and spread their music across social media sites such as Instagram, Spotify, and YouTube, Track Club has gained traction and filled venues.

As the band's music slowly gains more popularity, Raddon said that the band is willing to go wherever their fans and supporters want them to go.

While the band loves connecting with people through their music, it also helps them have fun with each other and connect on another level.

"I like getting groovy with my bros and playing music that we are all feeling," Davis said.

Additionally, performing together provides each member the opportunity to participate in a hobby they love and enjoy.

Iurato said one of his favorite parts of being in the band is "being with my bros, and I love when I play my little guitar; it's awesome."

Together, the band is able to form connections through music not only with others, but also with the community surrounding them.

Raddon said the most important part of being in this band is "making music that we like and that we think is good and then sharing that thing that we made that we think is good with other people."

With hopes of reaching and bringing people together with their music, Track Club is ready to take their love for music and performing wherever it may lead them.
