Roux in that year's edition of Williamsport Area Community College's Montage yearbook, Money – appearing in jeans, a San Francisco Giants T-shirt and sneakers – brought the sing-along crowd to its feet with a set that included "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets to Paradise" from his self-titled debut album. "I like playing at college campuses and WACC was one of the best audiences we've had," Money said. "Seriously, it was a lot of fun."
