PHOTOS: Summer Blowout Show with Roi & the Secret People and Acoustic Kitty Project

Posted on by 2 comments

In case there was any doubt left, Saturday night at Rivals Sports Bar & Restaurant proved once again that Easton Rocks.

The stage at Rivals was graced by the presence of Acoustic Kitty Project, fronted by Carter Lansing, and Roi & the Secret People, who are currently competing in a MusicBrackets.com music video contest for a $5,000 cash prize.

Both acts performed brilliantly, with Acoustic Kitty Project setting a country rock tone during their hour-plus set. Roi & the Secret People then followed with another trademark performance that blended sounds from the rock, pop, and progressive spheres.

Hats off to both bands for another enjoyable night of music (and for the stylish hats of each band’s frontman). Enjoy the photos!

On Friday night, Easton’s Roi and the Secret People premiered the music video for their song, “Hungry,” at Rivals Sports Bar & Restaurant in Easton. The packed room in attendance received the new video well, and were treated to an incredible night of rock and roll from the band, fronted by the charismatic Mike Roi.

The evening also featured an opening spot from Employees Only, a band comprised of instructors from Easton and Allentown School of Rock locations. The teachers proved to be masters at their craft, playing rock standards and extended jams while displaying great skill and chemistry.
