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.

Back in March, we saw a band named Psychoskunk open a great night of music at The Grape Room in Manayunk; a night which also featured the Valley’s own Roi and the Secret People.
Life is busy for Alex Mery & The Townsmen bassist Kara Hartzell. In addition to her band’s meteoric rise to prominence in the local scene, and the trio’s budding success outside of the Valley — hello, summer tour — she’s been hard at work on a side project alongside a fellow folkster, New Jersey-based singer-songwriter Zach Russack.
Coming off the heels of Lehigh Valley Underground’s official, final lineup announcement for the May-riffic Music Festival, we present a few selections from May-riffic artists on today’s edition of The Quinn Spinn. Plus, we make a left turn into the world of EDM and present other choice tunes.
Thank you to our community partners at The Valley Ledger and Tuk Law Offices for their ongoing support.
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.

On St. Patrick’s Day, Bethlehem will get a taste of what the Philly scene has to offer.
Local singer-songwriter John Hufford joins today’s episode of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger. John tells us about his musical beginnings, how he became a songwriter, and his aspirations in this exclusive interview which also features a pair of live, in-studio performances.
Plus, we have some TRULY Stupid News, Somethin’ Good (and adorable), and plenty of variety in our musical selections!
The pensive, searching guitar work and lonely, haunting melody of Mo7s’ “State of Mind” make a listener think deeply about the transience of interpersonal relationships, acknowledging the ease with which people fall out of love and move on to something new.
It’s been a busy couple weeks for Alex Mery & The Townsmen.
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
