Prateek Kuhad: From India to Bethlehem

One of the coolest things about our area is its emergence as a live music destination. In addition to all of the great, homegrown talent in our own backyards, the Lehigh Valley attracts national and international touring acts to perform on a regular basis.

One of those acts is Indian singer-songwriter Prateek Kuhad, who comes to Bethlehem’s National Museum of Industrial History today at 6:30 p.m. to perform as part of ArtsQuest’s Southside Arts & Music Festival.

Lehigh Valley Underground is excited to announce a partnership with Dustin Schoof, the local entertainment blogger who brings you great content regularly via DustinSchoof.com.

Through this partnership, Lehigh Valley Underground and DustinSchoof.com will share resources to cover more of our music scene, more often. We will divide, we will conquer, and we won’t rest until you, our growing readership, know what’s happening in every corner of the Valley’s music and entertainment scene.

On a personal note, this immediately seemed like a natural partnership to me. Dustin and I come from similar professional backgrounds, and we share a passion for local music and a common desire to continually raise our arts community to higher levels. We know that it takes a scene to build a scene and, by working together, we hope that we inspire more artists and industry folks to unite, as this will create bigger and better opportunities for all involved.

We’ve already worked together informally, but now, it just got real. For starters, you’ll see our paths crossing quite often throughout Musikfest.

In the meantime, be sure to head over to Dustin’s Facebook page and give it a like to stay up-to-date on the latest!
