Shoutout to our recent graduate and former M-Shop Director and Head Tech Hassein Rife!

Hassein Rife transferred to Iowa State because of The Maintenance Shop. Only a handful of universities across the country have venues comparable to the Maintenance Shop, where ISU students keep the ever-evolving landscape of popular music alive. Rife said he was inspired to apply for the sound tech position after seeing one of his favorite bands, Tiny Moving Parts, perform at the M-Shop in 2017. Rife’s audio engineering talent quickly promoted him to lead sound tech during his time at Iowa State. His tenure taught him that live sound production could be a profession. Now an electrical engineering graduate, he works for Pinnacle Recording and Productions, an Ankeny based audio engineering company.

“I wanted to be at every show, whether I was working or not. You never know what night is going to be a really special experience,” he said.

And you never know where your time spent at the Memorial Union is going to take you! Thank you, Hassein. We enjoyed being part of your story and we know you will continue to do great things.

Cool to see all the great coverage for the 50th Anniversary year! Come check out an M-Shop event this spring, when you're able! And stay tuned as more shows are added! (and 50th Anniversary shirts and merch are unveiled!)

Shoutout to Fred Love for the great article as well!

The Maintenance Shop at Iowa State is celebrating 50 years of iconic performances from legends and newcomers alike, including John Lee Ho**er, the Smashing Pumpkins, and the Lumineers. Originally a maintenance shop, it transformed into the legendary venue we know and love in 1974. It has welcomed renowned folk, jazz, and blues musicians throughout the years, earning a global reputation. Students play a vital role as performers and behind the scenes, gaining hands-on experience. After 50 years, the M-Shop continues to be a cornerstone of the Student Union Board’s programming, offering an intimate and immersive musical experience. 🎵🎺🎸 Take a walk down memory lane! https://www.news.iastate.edu/news/2024/01/31/mshop50th
