Some might say that last night’s big event was Skit Night, but many will agree that Michaela Alden’s concert topped it.

She has been writing songs for three years, and performed four last night. The first was “This Face,” followed by “Messed Up,” “Ordinary Quarter,” and an untitled song. All of Alden’s songs got positive reactions from the crowd gathered in the second-floor lounge in Louise Anderson Hall.

Harold: Have you ever been paid for a show?

Alden: No, I usually play for free or for tips.

H: How do you think you did tonight?

A: I could’ve been more prepared, but over all I think I pulled it off pretty well.

H: How many songs have you written?

A: I guess I have about twelve songs that I perform and a few more that I’m still working on.

H: What is your favorite song that you’ve written, and why?

A: Probably “This Face,” because I think a lot of people can relate to the message.

H: When did you write “This Face”?

A: I think about two months ago.
