Will had spent a fair amount of time in Meriden over the past year researching and filming a video called “The Silver Gymnasium,” a retrospective on his years growing up on The Hilltop while his parents, Paul and Jaime were faculty members at KUA. It is also the name of Okkervil River’s latest album named after KUA’s gym which has been described as a coming-ofage-album. Students were all given Okkervil River t-shirts prior to the concert which rocked the Flickinger Auditorium for the evening.
