Memorial Day Weekend started a hair early in Bethlehem, with beautiful summer-like weather serving as the backdrop to Thursday evening’s installment of Tunes at Twilight.

The packed crowd at Sun Inn Courtyard relaxed as the week wound down and enjoyed the fresh and funky sounds of The Groove Merchants, who delighted with a bombastic set complete with soul and crafty musicianship. The blues rock five-piece, who are at the beginning of another big festival season, will play again at The Wooden Match this Saturday, May 26 beginning at 7 p.m.

Tunes at Twilight continues every Thursday through the end of July. The full lineup is here. Enjoy photos of last night’s action below!
