Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are 100% aware that The Corp’s music festival, Kickback, is this Saturday. As someone who was abroad last fall and missed the first Kickback, I am beyond excited to go this year.

To get you in the mood for the music performances you will be seeing this weekend, 4E reached out to some of the Georgetown-based acts to determine what artists have influenced their sound.

These are the songs that set the vibe for the beginning of the day:
