Cyclone Voice

Singer/songwriter and multiplatinum recording artist MAX will host Iowa State University’s annual singing competition, Cyclone Voice, on Thursday, April 13. The event will feature 14 ISU students vying to become the next Cyclone Voice. Doors will open by 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show in the Durham Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

MAX will host the annual singing competition, introducing the show and each of the student performers. He will also perform a music set with his full band during the judge’s deliberations, before the 2023 Cyclone Voice champion is announced.
