Charlottesville is a stop on many tour schedules today, but it used to be a group of University of Virginia students who brought in the hottest acts to town.
If you attended the University after the 1990s, you might not have heard about a University Union subcommittee called PK German.
The concert-booking group, which formed after two rival clubs merged sometime in the 20th century, brought everyone from the Ramones to Kool & The Gang to the Talking Heads to Grounds. Even before John Paul Jones Arena opened, they helped establish Charlottesville as a viable tour stop of some of music’s top acts.
