As announced last week, Serene Green will perform during the Lehigh Valley Music Awards Preshow, presented by Lehigh Valley Underground at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks on Sunday, March 5.
We wanted to get to know the band a bit better, so we asked a few questions, which they were kind enough to answer for us. Check it out!
Can’t wait until March 17 to get your fix of Irish-themed fun? Mt. Bethel’s Paddy Rock Radio is teaming up with The Works: Tavern & Kitchen in Bangor so you don’t have to wait that long.
The 18th Annual Lehigh Valley Music Awards Preshow, presented by Lehigh Valley Underground, just got infused with a shot of Pennsylvania bluegrass.
I first happened upon Copper Fields in July at Easton Heritage Day. The trio immediately stood out to me due to their crisp, soulful vocal harmonies and technical proficiency. Friday night, Lehigh Valley Underground has the honor of hosting Copper Fields at our First Annual Winter Jamboree at American Spirits Roadhouse. Read below for a bit more on what to expect.
Whenever Copper Fields and Mo7s are involved, you know you’re in for a night of high quality performances. That was no different last night at The Originals Music Series, where each band played an hour and 20 minute set inside Chicago Restaurant’s Club Gravity.
The Originals Music Series, operating on a bi-weekly schedule for the winter months, returns to Chicago Restaurant in Allentown with a great Thursday night lineup.
Artist: Blue Heart’s Revelry
Song: Violence
Released: Dec. 4, 2016
Genre: Folk/Americana
Hailing from Easton, Blue Heart’s Revelry has released the first single from their forthcoming, eight-track album – and it’s a tale of heartbreak and anguish.
The guitars were on full display once again at The Originals Music Series this week, with singer-songwriter Andrew Mark Schaffer opening for soul/folk trio Copper Fields.
Schaffer’s intricate guitar work — enhanced by a loop station that allowed him to nail impressive solos over rhythm parts — combined with his improvisational ability on yet-to-be-completed song ideas to captivate those in attendance at Chicago Restaurant’s Club Gravity.
Copper Fields then took the stage, with the Emmaus trio blending crisp vocal harmonies over styles from acoustic rock to bluegrass. The group showed why they are one of the most exciting up-and-coming acts in the Valley right now, as their distinct mellow sound and catchy hooks cause first-time listeners to take immediate notice.
The past few hours have been a wild time, as I’ve raced from one side of Easton’s Centre Square to the other to capture all of the great music happening downtown (with the occasional refreshment or restroom break in between).
I’ve come a long way, and by no means am I finished yet. Heritage Day is in the process of proceeding down to the riverfront for tonight’s shows and fireworks. Of course, you can be sure that I’ll be sticking around until things are finished going boom.
In the meantime, here’s what’s captured of the great performers I’ve seen so far, in order of appearance. I’ll be back with more after the conclusion of Heritage Day.
Dan DeChellis Trio (Jazz)
Swing Time Dolls (Vintage 1940s Pop)
Copper Fields (Acoustic Rock/Bluegrass)
The Jolly Tars (Traditional Irish Folk)
Roi & the Secret People (Rock)
Scott Marshall has a deep and very real appreciation and respect for the United States military. This can be heard in the songs he sings, and can be seen on full display on days like today.
To commemorate Memorial Day, Marshall and his band Marshall’s Highway performed on Mayfair’s Liberty Stage at Allentown Fairgrounds. Hundreds of friends and fans came out on what turned out to be a gorgeous Memorial Day to hear two-plus hours of music, as well as thoughts from Marshall, saxophonist Glenn Hofmann, and local guest of honor John Cramsey, who shared stories and letters to honor the nation’s veterans and to remember those who never returned from war.
Marshall’s Highway made Memorial Day 2016 one to remember. Now, this great day will forever be immortalized in photos on Lehigh Valley Underground!
