ALUMNI NEWS AND UPDATES
WHITE COAT ROCK IS BACK!
The prescription worked… so we’re writing another one.
WHITE COAT ROCK: Take 2 (and call me in the morning), is the follow-up appointment nobody wants to miss. Upstate Medical University’s own Spinal Chords are back on stage, proving once again that clinical talent and musical chops go hand in hand. And because one dose just isn’t enough this year, the band is delivering TWO full sets of live rock, country, and pop favorites.
Made up of Upstate students, physicians, and staff, Spinal Chords trades rounds for riffs and lectures for loud guitars, bringing the same energy and teamwork they use in healthcare straight to the stage. Expect powerhouse vocals, driving guitars, keys, bass, and drums that will keep the crowd moving all night long.
