There’s something special about a weekend at Musikfest. Indeed, such a phenomenon only takes place twice a year, and creates quite a buzz of summertime love and happiness for all who encounter it.
After this weekend, you’ll have to wait 51 weeks to experience it again. So, there’s no time like the present – let’s not miss out on a good time!
Singer-songwriter, radio host, and Godfrey Daniels Board of Directors President Dina Hall wears many hats in the Valley’s music scene. Here’s another one: multi-time Musikfest performer.
Dina has nearly a decade of performing experience at the nation’s largest free outdoor music festival under her belt. With that, she offered her profound experience and sage advice on the matter to conclude this year’s inaugural “Meet the ‘Fest Vets” series.
After Julia Sommer and Dana Gaynor concluded a rather magical evening at Levitt Pavilion last night, I decided to take a stroll across the street to see who was playing on the ArtsQuest Center’s TD Bank stage.
Little did I know, I would hear a familiar voice.
The second stop on our Folkin’ Good Saturday Night (we just came up with that name now — wish we would’ve done it sooner!) saw us head back to Bethlehem to Easton to once again enjoy a show at the legendary Godfrey Daniels. On this night, we had the privilege of taking in a performance from Dina Hall Band.
You might argue that we’re a day late with this week’s Can’t-Miss Shows. Although it’s true that we typically push this out on Monday, you had a lot of photos to enjoy yesterday from last week’s list. We didn’t want to distract you from the task at hand.
We’ll make it up to you, though, with a heapin’ helpin’ of excellent…
So… how did you like yesterday’s Schoof Schpecial? Special thanks to DustinSchoof.com for a job well done!
We’re back on it here at LVU, and it’s a good thing – there is still much more to enjoy today at Musikfest (including some family-oriented programming early in the day, in case you have kids in tow).
