First and foremost, Happy Memorial Day, and thank you to all of those who have served, and especially those who have lost their lives for protecting what they held dear.
On our end, we certainly have one May-riffic hangover! Photos and recaps of each individual day of our epic festival will be making their way onto the site over the next 24 hours. Lots of photos equals lots of editing, so bear with us!
In the meantime, jump right back in with a fresh batch of…
Excuse us if we seem a little pre-occupied this week. It’s just that we’re hosting this epic two-day festival at American Spirits Roadhouse this weekend with 15 – count ‘em – 15 incredible local and regional acts, and we’re pretty certain that it’s going to be the place to be all weekend long.
But… there’s other wonderful stuff happening around here this week, and it is our proud honor and privilege to tell you about it. Here we go, into a fresh batch of…
This weekend, Lehigh Valley Underground will be taking a road trip out to Lancaster for the Ninth Annual Launch Music Conference & Festival. Lehigh Valley artists including Alex Mery & The Townsmen, Neil Grover, and Pentley Holmes are all on the bill.
But… that’s out there. What’s going on back here? For one thing, Saturday night is particularly stacked; not just in the Valley, but all over Eastern PA.
Come down the rabbit hole and explore the…
On Friday night, Bethlehem-based garage rock foursome Doctor Ransom threw a bash to celebrate the release of their self-titled EP.
We’ve got one of those “any night of the week” type of weeks coming up. That is to say, the Valley’s music scene can blow you away on any given night.
That’s a testament to the talent we have all around us. For example, take these…
The energy was raucous and the musicianship was on-point late Friday night at The Funhouse, which was packed near capacity to hear the soulful sounds of Hambone Relay and The Groove Merchants.
Since before LVU’s inception, we’ve followed the career of The Groove Merchants. A chance encounter with this big-sounding blues band about a month before Launch Day has made us fans ever since.
This Friday, a lot more people will have the opportunity to share in the funky five-piece’s soulful sounds.
One note to throw out there before we kick off the week: Keep an eye on the weather. Our region is supposed to get walloped with snow Monday night into Tuesday. Forecasts are so bad that we’re not even going to bother including anything for Tuesday here, because it probably ain’t happening.
We will, however, tell you about some other things going on around us in this week’s installment of…
Visitors to South Bethlehem’s Funhouse were treated on Thursday night to a versatile folk-punk performance from local trio Alex Mery & The Townsmen.
The trio, who are among the Lehigh Valley artists just confirmed to be performing at the Launch Music Conference & Festival in Lancaster this April, performed for more than three hours, mixing their originals with a bevy of modern and from-the-vault covers.
Frontman Alex Mery and bassist Kara Hartzell also took part of each set to perform solo selections, adding more diversity to a night of great tunes.
