You can tell that Allentown JazzFest is getting close when Preview Night rolls around. Thursday night, got their first taste of this year’s bold new artwork and enjoyed live music inside of the festival’s newest — and perhaps most interesting — performance space.
Well, that was fun!
Hopefully, you enjoyed following along on our Launch Music Conference adventure this past weekend. We know we had a blast and learned a ton! As mentioned, we’ll be sharing some takeaways with you shortly.
We’re back in the Valley, though, and it’s a good thing, because this week holds many…
Performing Arts Live!, Inc., the non-profit organization behind Allentown JazzFest, wants to inspire a richer and more inclusive appreciation for the arts in the Lehigh Valley. A grant from the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation would go a long way — and so would your help!
The Quinn Spinn, The Official Podcast of Lehigh Valley Underground, still has a lineup of intriguing and talented guests to come before the spring season winds down.
As previously announced, this year’s Allentown JazzFest will take place throughout the city’s Hamilton District from May 3-7. To ensure an event of the highest quality, Performing Arts Live, Inc. — the non-profit which runs the festival — is seeking public support.
Friday morning, Performing Arts Live released the first portion of the Allentown JazzFest 2017 schedule.
It’s one of the biggest weeks of the year if you’re involved in the Lehigh Valley’s local music scene. On Sunday, our homegrown stars will come out to see who will come away with top honors at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards.
Before that, we have a whole week ahead of us, and another solid batch of…
Performing Arts Live, Inc. and Lehigh Valley Underground are excited to announce a media partnership for the duration of 2017.
Let’s start a new tradition around here on the first Monday of the year: In addition to providing you with the Can’t-Miss Shows of the Week, as we do every Monday, let’s take a longer look at our calendar to, perhaps, some Can’t-Miss Shows of the Year.
If you’ve hung around Lehigh Valley Underground long enough, you’re certainly familiar with our good friend Bryan Tuk. Bryan is the musician, social entrepreneur, and attorney behind Allentown JazzFest and the TLO Live webinar series.
Bryan also hosts Creative Confidential, a podcast for the arts which just wrapped up its first year in 2016. A few days ago, Bryan released a special episode, during which he offered some closing remarks from the old year, and some words to live by — especially if you’re a creative professional — about building your future, and time, and life.
With the New Year a popular time for self-reflection and hope for what’s ahead, we provide you, People of the Underground, with some wise words from someone fighting many of the same battles that we are, every single day. Enjoy!
