LVU Wants to Know: What Are You Looking Forward to This Fall?
Summer isn’t over yet — we still have the epic start to a new era of First Friday in South Bethlehem to kick off Labor Day weekend, after all. However, the temperatures are getting slightly cooler, the days are just a bit shorter, and it’s undeniable: summer is winding down.

LVU Wants to Know: What Are You Thankful For?
You’ve heard a bit about what we’re thankful for today. Now, while you’re waiting for the turkey to finish cooking, let’s hear from you.
Pre-Order (and then wear) Your LVU Pride!
Ladies and gentlemen, we are living in an exciting time for Lehigh Valley Underground. We’ve been active participants on the scene for months now, both by hitting some Can’t-Miss Shows every week, and by partnering with great local organizations with the shared mission of creating more opportunities for the folks who make this music community what it is.
Surely, we wouldn’t have gotten this far without the support of the musicians, industry folks, and music fans who populate our region. We appreciate your support, and we just might have a new way for you to spread the word about the blog you’ve come to know and love.
Enter the new LVU t-shirt, which will feature artwork like this…
The guitar will be white, too, but you get the idea.
We have it on good authority that these babies are finished and on their way to us, courtesy of our good friends at The Handsome Prints in Slatington.
Naturally, we want to get them into your hands as soon as possible. That is why, now through Monday, August 1, you have a chance to be among the first to own a piece of LVU history when you pre-order your official Lehigh Valley Underground t-shirt.
Head over to our brand new BigCartel shop, reserve your t-shirt for a discounted rate, and we’ll get them in the mail on Monday! If you’re from the area, that means you’ll have your shirt in time for a popular annual event that happens around here. Proceeds will go toward keeping this LVU train a-rollin’ in the months and years ahead, which means you’ll be an even bigger part of the miracle going forward.
Thanks so much for your support — it’s huge, and means everything to us! We hope that you’ll continue to #GoUnderground.

What is the mission of LVU?
We want to be your source for all things indie music, locally and beyond. We will present news, analysis and opinions that we hope will help artists in the Lehigh Valley and anywhere else make the most of the scene around them.
