It had been a minute since Pennsylvania power pop quintet Summer Scouts released new music. Since the 2017 single, “Give It Our All,” to be exact.

Variety is the spice of life, and it certainly spices up the latest installment of our weekly #UMC20 playlist.
Those in local music circles may best know Ross Huber as the guitarist and backing vocalist for Lehigh Valley-based power pop band, Summer Scouts.
Now, be prepared to hear him as you never have before!
This week, welcome the official start of summer and enjoy the long days with even longer nights. Three of our picks for the week start at 9 p.m. or later, sure to keep you partying into the wee hours.
And, of course, Friday is going to be beautiful for Out to Lunch on the South Bethlehem Greenway… but you already knew that.
Due to take a road trip to Philly this weekend? Naturally, you can find plenty of live music in the nation’s fifth largest city almost any night of the week.
However, if you’re going to go that far, you might as well rock for a cause.
CJ Dunleavy, a singer-songwriter hailing from nearby Doylestown, reached out to us to bring our attention to his ‘Philadelphia Indie‘ Spotify playlist, which celebrates its first birthday this Friday, January 12.
Since we’re in the mood for celebrating birthdays lately, we figured we’d have a listen.
The magic this week? It’s in the weekend.
Of course, we’ll be celebrating even bigger and better things for WLVU: The Sound of The Underground up at Broadway Pub this Friday. No matter your flavor, however, there’s a lot to like about what’s coming around the bend in the Valley. Behold these…
I got down to Musikfest a hair later than each of the first two nights, rolling up (on foot) to Red Stag Pub Liederplatz as my entry point for the day around 6 p.m. That was where Atlanta, GA’s Caleb and the Gents had already hit full stride with their hybrid of jazz, blues and country. This quintessentially southern band kept things uptempo for the brief time I was able to check them out, with a sound that got members of the audience up on their feet.
Before the weekend ends and some of you go back to work – unless, like us, you’re taking a full and proper ten-day weekend – there’s still plenty of fun to be had today at Musikfest. It’s shaping up to be a beautiful Sunday and, true to Musikfest form, you have varied options to suit whatever you’re into. Here’s a small sample size of today’s action!
Last night, our region was well represented by four of the area’s top indie rock acts as Spin Me Round (inside the Phillipsburg Mall) hosted its Free Summer Chill Concert.
