Student balances performing in Georgia
Elon student James Tiernan is a member of Sweetbay, a professional band based in Georgia. Tiernan is balancing being a full-time student, and finding time to commit to his band. James Tiernan has been playing music since he was eight, but now he balances being a student, with being the bassist of Sweetbay. All the band mates are from just outside of Atlanta and had an unexpected first performance at a charity event. "We just got on stage and he called out songs and we played them but we vibe so well together that you know we were like we need to keep playing together," Tiernan said. Tiernan has dedicated his life to music, and can play over five instruments, including the violin bass and guitar.
