We have something exciting to tell you.
Folk storyteller Darrin Bradbury — who we saw last week at Americanafest, and who just released his new album Talking Dogs & Atom Bombs today — is our guest on October’s upcoming episode of The Quinn Spinn.

Not all bands age well. This is true when the band’s career is less than ten years. Tastes change, people’s sensibilities change, fads die and new ones are born. Young rockers become old rockers, and the bloom falls off the rose. No one wants to see their dad rage along with power chords and lyrics about fighting the man.
King Crimson is an enigma. Like many progressive rock bands, Crimson has had numerous lineup changes since its debut in 1968. The band continues to this day, having completed a tour in Fall 2017 that took it across the United States, coupled with an announcement that new music was on the way.
As all things with Facebook, you periodically see these quick little challenges to list your favorite childhood memories, favorite movies, and so on. One of these challenges, the “List your top ten records” challenge caught my eye.
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.
The second stop on our Folkin’ Good Saturday Night (we just came up with that name now — wish we would’ve done it sooner!) saw us head back to Bethlehem to Easton to once again enjoy a show at the legendary Godfrey Daniels. On this night, we had the privilege of taking in a performance from Dina Hall Band.
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.
