When it’s dark and getting on toward evening, we cuddle in the covers surrounded with pets, pillows, and maybe a cup of tea or hot chocolate. We turn down the lights and allow the night to surround us.
That’s when it’s time for Stone Soup Tales, a brand new, “Once Upon a Time” story series coming to WLVU: The Sound of The Underground from host Sharon Vaught.
Welcome to the world of Ninja.
Being heavily involved in the local music scene for more 11 years in multiple capacities, I have always wanted to know what makes a musician “tick.” I am always engaging musicians in conversations to get their feedback and thoughts on things important to them.
Because I always receive great feedback during these conversations, I decided to start posting questions on my Facebook page to engage musicians from all over the world, in addition to those at the local level. This has been a valuable tool for not just me, but for those musicians, as well.
This is why Ninjapedia was brought to Lehigh Valley Underground: to educate our music scene based on input from our peers. I hope you enjoy the answers to these questions as much as I do.
Today’s question is:
What does “support your local music scene” mean to you?
If you’re looking for a different side of the Valley’s arts scene, or just enjoy a pint and a good story, head to McCarthy’s Red Stag Pub in Bethlehem tonight for the Lehigh Valley Story Slam.
The Story Slam, operating upstairs at McCarthy’s since May 2015, invites storytellers of all ages and backgrounds to tell tales that revolve around a particular theme. Tonight’s stories will revolve around “Heroes,” and participants are encouraged to talk about their personal heroes, times when they felt heroic, their own encounters with superheroes, and more.
You don’t have to tell a story to attend – if you prefer, just sit back and listen to your fellow attendees do their thing. Either way, get ready to laugh, cry, and feel a positive, communal energy in the room.
For tickets and more information, visit the official webpage for tonight’s event.
