Last week, we told you who would rock the night at the May-riffic Music Festival, presented by Lehigh Valley Underground and American Spirits Roadhouse on Saturday, May 13. In case you missed that announcement, here it is. (Don’t worry; the link will open in another tab so you can stay on the page. What a time to be alive!)
On Sunday, the Valley’s stars came out in droves to celebrate local music at the 18th Annual Lehigh Valley Music Awards. While there, they enjoyed an extravaganza that featured breathtaking performances, crisp production, and another record-breaking night for local singer-songwriter Scott Marshall.
Last week, we announced that Serene Green would be joining us for the Lehigh Valley Music Awards Preshow, to be presented by Lehigh Valley Underground at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks on Sunday, March 5.
Now, we know the performers for the ceremony itself.

Jordyn Kenzie is a performer with a blindingly bright future. At just 16, she has opened for national touring acts and has captured the Discover Lehigh Valley Discovered Artist of the Year Award at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards.
Jordyn took a few minutes out to chat with us about those experiences, and to provide a brief glimpse of what the future holds.
We enjoyed our Musikfest rendezvous with the Greater Lehigh Valley Music Association so much, we’ve decided it’s time for another round!

“The Greater Lehigh Valley Music Association and its volunteers continue to work for the betterment of the entire music community in eastern Pennsylvania,” said Gerard Longo, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Lehigh Valley Underground. “This mission is similar to that of Lehigh Valley Underground, and I am ecstatic that our organizations will work together to create more opportunities for all local artists.”
The first instance of this will be at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards Rock Showcase, occurring at Musikfest’s Plaza Tropical stage on Sunday, August 7 from 8-11 p.m. Lehigh Valley Underground is an official media sponsor of the event, which will showcase bands including Social Call, The Cherrybombs, Doubting Thoma$, and Another Day Dawns.
Lehigh Valley Underground also plans to participate as a media sponsor in the GLVMA’s Third Annual Arts on the Move event, taking place at South Bethlehem’s Touchstone Theatre on Saturday, November 12 at 6 p.m. The event will feature local artists including Triple G, Project 3², Jordyn Kenzie, and Erin Kelly, as well as an auction of unique musical instruments to benefit the GLVMA’s scholarship fund.
