December starts strong with an edition of The Quinn Spinn (sponsored by The Valley Ledger) that gives more new artists an opportunity, while digging out some tracks from the vault that we know and love. No genre is off-limits on The Quinn Spinn, and today’s show is a good representation of that.
This episode of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger, features some new tunes among some older favorites as we say goodbye to November and hello to a holiday season.
Also, learn what one young man did to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah, and why pizza is not an acceptable form of ID.
We keep the tunes pumping well into the fall with an all-new edition of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger. On this show, we excitedly announce our participation in Acoustic Storytellers Night at American Spirits Roadhouse, featuring Brian Quinn from Candlebox (no relation).
Plus, some Stupid News, Somethin’ Good, and an update on what our #GoodFriendsoftheShow REVEL 9 are up to.
Welcome to the world of Ninja.
Being heavily involved in the local music scene for more 11 years in multiple capacities, I have always wanted to know what makes a musician “tick.” I am always engaging musicians in conversations to get their feedback and thoughts on things important to them.
Because I always receive great feedback during these conversations, I decided to start posting questions on my Facebook page to engage musicians from all over the world, in addition to those at the local level. This has been a valuable tool for not just me, but for those musicians, as well.
This is why Ninjapedia was brought to Lehigh Valley Underground: to educate our music scene based on input from our peers. I hope you enjoy the answers to these questions as much as I do.
Today’s question is:
What does “support your local music scene” mean to you?
Here at The Quinn Spinn (sponsored by The Valley Ledger), we pride ourselves on giving you something different. This week, we mix up some of the genres today to give you new tunes, and we offer a different, empowering take on this polarizing time in our history. And, of course, there’s Stupid News and Somethin’ Good to get your spirits up!
We #ThinkPink one more time in October 2016 with a spooktacular, new music edition of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger. This episode features another great Factory Fast Records compilation, and tunes from artists local to us and around the world.
Plus, we feature some Stupid News with a hunger, and a once (or twice) in a lifetime edition of Somethin’ Good.
This week’s edition of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger, features brand-new music from #GoodFriendsoftheShow old and new. Every single song in today’s show was recently released or re-released, and we present you with these fine tunes that are dying to meet your ears.
Plus, we have Stupid News, Somethin’ (environmentally) Good, and a nice little surprise at the end… #GoCubsGo
In my world, October never, ever fails to be a ridiculously busy month.
For starters, there are two October birthdays – my girlfriend and my niece – that I wouldn’t dare miss in any given year. In each of the past three years, I’ve had at least one October wedding to attend, and I like to pick up extra hours at my part-time gig at ArtsQuest before the winter doldrums set in. Add all of that together with a full-time job, and it can make having time for anything else – like, say, effectively building a growing local music news source – quite challenging.
Robert Hunter is a Pennsylvania boy who went to Nashville to record his dream. That dream — Robert’s new EP, “Outta My Mind” — is a topic of conversation when the singer-songwriter joins us on today’s show.
In addition, we have rock, hip hop, and even a bit of spoken word, as well as some Stupid News and Somethin’ Good… and a bit unexpected.

We kick off October’s slate of shows, sponsored by The Valley Ledger, with an interview with Philly-area indie pop artist Mesa Jane. We chat about her experimental EP, “This Is How the Meek Riot,” as well as her creative process and the future for this bright artist.
We have plenty more where that came from, including a missing briefcase mishap in Stupid News, and we tell you the ill effects of negative headlines. Makes you crave Somethin’ Good, doesn’t it?
