As we look ahead with great anticipation to the Lehigh Valley Underground 2nd Birthday Spectacular (coming up in January at SteelStacks), we want to make sure the music community’s biggest party of the New Year is as representative of that community as possible – and we have an idea.
By now, you know that we’ll be throwing the Lehigh Valley Underground 2nd Birthday Spectacular at SteelStacks on Friday, January 19 inside of the Fowler Blast Furnace Room. You know that we’ll be graced on this evening by the musical talents of Dear Anna, Kill the Broadcast, and Kara Hartzell, and you may even know that tickets go on sale to the general public at this link this Friday, November 17 at 10 a.m.
What you may still be wondering is how you or your organization can get involved in the music community’s biggest party of the New Year. That’s what we’re here to tell you!
A cool and rainy night was no match for us, as we prepared to head down to SteelStacks to catch a hotly-anticipated night of indie pop from Ceramic Animal and special guests, Pool Radio.
My car battery, on the other hand, was almost just enough to stop the party for LVU before it started.
For those of you just joining us, we announced the Lehigh Valley Underground 2nd Birthday Spectacular on Monday. It’s going to take place Friday, January 19, 2018 at the ArtsQuest Center’s Blast Furnace Room at SteelStacks, and will feature Dear Anna, Kill the Broadcast, Kara Hartzell, and perhaps some fun surprises that we’re cooking up. Overall, it’s kind of a big deal.
Now, we have information on when you will be able to get your hands on tickets to the music scene’s biggest celebration of the New Year.
Since January 2016, Lehigh Valley Underground has been proud to serve the local music scene in eastern Pennsylvania, western New Jersey, and beyond. We’ll be turning 2 this January, and we want to do something special to celebrate how far we’ve all come together as a community.
So, we’re doing it in style!
Tyler Rothrock, the Nazareth-bred, New York City-based comedian who recorded his upcoming debut album, “Tyler of Nazareth,” at SteelStacks earlier this year, will return to the ArtsQuest Center for the album’s official release party on Thursday, November 2.
Man… #LVUFirstFriday is truly just the start of it this week!
As you know, we have 10 performers across six venues this Friday throughout South Bethlehem. We’ll get to that in a minute. But, even outside of that, this week is still 100% stacked!
Get ready, because you’re going to be busy this week. Away we go!
Earlier this month, we announced that Billy Bauer Band and Acoustic Kitty Project would be teaming up to take the Godfrey Daniels stage during the next installment of the Lehigh Valley Underground First Friday Concert Series on Friday, October 6.
In my first venture back out onto the scene since Sunday’s Musikfest finale, I found myself back on familiar ground, as I headed down to SteelStacks for Billy Bauer’s weekly open mic on Thursday night.
Over the next two weeks, potentially more than one million visitors to Bethlehem will have the opportunity to get their hands on a plastic mug featuring the artwork of local mixed medium artist Bobby Zeik, a Banana Factory resident artist and the man behind the 2017 Musikfest poster.
