Alex Radus is a multi-genre songsmith who performs under is own name, as well as with versatile Pennsylvania-based alt-rock band, Hot4Robot. Alex’s ability to meld genres and captivate audiences is must-see, and you’ll have a chance to experience it as part of our Sounds of the Underground mini-festival, Friday, June 21 at SteelStacks in Bethlehem, PA.

Today, we team up with our partners at Your Next Favorite Band to chat with Alex, and get a preview of what’s in store for the big night in Christmas City!

Our Sounds of the Underground event is coming to SteelStacks in our hometown of Bethlehem, PA on Friday, June 21 — and the hype machine is fully operational!

The good folks at WFMZ 69 News in neighboring Allentown hosted Phillip Reese — our co-conspirator and host of Your Next Favorite Band — to shine a light on Sounds of the Underground among other regional events taking place this summer. In addition, local songwriter Alex Radus — who you will have not one, but two chances to hear on June 21 — gave us a musical preview of what is to come with a rendition of his song, “North Star.”

Now that our friends back home at ArtsQuest have unveiled their full Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks lineup — check out the full season here, courtesy of our pal John Moser — it’s time for us to hit you with our official Sounds of the Underground lineup, coming to the iconic Bethlehem venue on Friday, June 21.

As previously mentioned, Sounds of the Underground (co-presented by our friends at Your Next Favorite Band) will feature eight eastern Pennsylvania-based performers across two stages. The evening kicks off at 7:30 p.m. with a Nashville-style songwriters round on Levitt Pavilion, where you will get to experience a variety of genres, from folk and Americana, to indie rock and hip hop. Our performers are…

  • Alex Radus (Folk/Singer-songwriter)
  • Bren (Indie/Alternative)
  • Chelsea Mitchell of Dirty Dollhouse (Alt-Americana)
  • Greg Adams of TIOGA (Rock)
  • Kuf Knotz & Christine Elise (Hip Hop/Alternative)
  • Tye Vallone & Brie Emsee of The Groove Merchants (Blues/Rock/Soul)

Then, we kick the evening into overdrive at 9 p.m., right across 1st St. on the Highmark Blue Shield Community Stage on the Air Products Town Square. There, we’ll be joined by high-powered, harmonic rock band The Beautiful Distortion, before closing the evening with Radus’ well-regarded alt-rock project, Hot4Robot.

Normally, this would be the part where we would link you to purchase tickets, but like the rest of this season’s Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks lineup, Sounds of the Underground is FREE, all-ages, and open to the public! Bring your lawn chair, grab a spot, and join us in Bethlehem on the first Friday of summer!
