We’ve made it to the end of another year, which means it’s time for the latest installment of a grand tradition: The Quinn Spinn ChristmaHanuKwanzaDan Spectacular, sponsored by The Valley Ledger! We have holiday tunes from far and wide, some new and from the vault. Plus, we have seasonal Stupid News and Somethin’ Good to stuff your stocking.
December starts strong with an edition of The Quinn Spinn (sponsored by The Valley Ledger) that gives more new artists an opportunity, while digging out some tracks from the vault that we know and love. No genre is off-limits on The Quinn Spinn, and today’s show is a good representation of that.
This episode of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger, features some new tunes among some older favorites as we say goodbye to November and hello to a holiday season.
Also, learn what one young man did to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah, and why pizza is not an acceptable form of ID.
Here at The Quinn Spinn (sponsored by The Valley Ledger), we pride ourselves on giving you something different. This week, we mix up some of the genres today to give you new tunes, and we offer a different, empowering take on this polarizing time in our history. And, of course, there’s Stupid News and Somethin’ Good to get your spirits up!
We #ThinkPink one more time in October 2016 with a spooktacular, new music edition of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger. This episode features another great Factory Fast Records compilation, and tunes from artists local to us and around the world.
Plus, we feature some Stupid News with a hunger, and a once (or twice) in a lifetime edition of Somethin’ Good.
Episodes like this are what The Quinn Spinn is all about — featuring the best in independent music! Not only do we have an interview with Second Player Score about their upcoming album, “Nobody’s Hero,” but we have a world premiere track from our local friends, JingerKroa! Plus, Somethin’ Good hits home for us, as Jersey country music duo and #GoodFriendsoftheShow Spinn are heading to Nashville as Nash Next finalists. Hear the news and tunes that are fit to hear on today’s show, sponsored by The Valley Ledger!

It’s been a long summer, full of festivals, live shows, and new music.
While, in all honesty, those things will continue year-round, one thing that is changing with the seasons is the fact that The Quinn Spinn is back, sponsored by The Valley Ledger! Today at 6 p.m., join us as we broadcast the season premiere of LVU’s Official Podcast, live on YouTube.
We’ve taken your requests, and we have a great show up ahead that you won’t want to miss. Get a glimpse of what’s in store with the first-ever…
Remember to change the channel – First, it is important to note that live broadcasts of The Quinn Spinn will take place on our YouTube livestream, as opposed to the originally announced Facebook Live. Links to the stream will be shared on Quinn Spinn and Lehigh Valley Underground social media channels, including Facebook and Twitter.
An old friend joins us – DJ Pearlman of hard rock juggernaut REVEL 9 is the only appropriate guest for a season premiere of The Quinn Spinn. You’ve heard DJ’s voice at the beginning of every piece of Quinn Spinn programming since September 2014 by way of REVEL 9’s song, “All I’ve Become.” Tonight, you’ll also hear DJ talk about the band, the industry, and their appearance at Slatington Bike Night this Saturday, September 24.
New music premieres – The season premiere of The Quinn Spinn will feature brand new tunes from #GoodFriendsoftheShow old and new, including Second Player Score, Lemonade Kid, and SloFunkPump.
Local flavor – We have no shortage of tunes from artists native to our home in eastern Pennsylvania, including Michael Meade, Mesa Jane, Roi and the Secret People, Acoustic Kitty Project, and more!
Popular segments return – We’re doing something special tonight by bringing back classic Quinn Spinn segments. Expect to hear some Stupid News with The Quinn, as well as Somethin’ Good a bit later on in the show (formerly Good News with The Quinn).
Musikfest starts this weekend, and we’re popping in on our summer break to preview the action! Joining us is Ricardo Flores, President of the Greater Lehigh Valley Music Association, who talks to us about the organization’s mission, values, and the Lehigh Valley Music Awards Rock Showcase, sponsored by Lehigh Valley Underground, happening Sunday, Aug. 7 from 8-11 p.m. at Musikfest’s Plaza Tropical stage.
Plus, we play music from artists who you’ll hear at the festival!
