Things are supposed to start feeling like fall once and for all this week. To celebrate, there are some fall-themed activities to enjoy on our music scene.

It’s Musikfest Monday, and you know what that means: we’ll be on the North Side, where we’ll celebrate another year co-presenting the Lehigh Valley Music Awards Showcase at Plaza Tropical.
Details on that and your other Monday night options are below. Let’s go!
In advance of tonight’s airing of Tape Swap Radio‘s Rooftop Sessions featuring This Way to the Egress on WLVU: The Sound of The Underground (8 p.m. ET), the show has released a video of the band performing its new song, “What Do You Want?”
It’s a special week on WLVU: The Sound of The Underground, as we prepare to host guests who have performed anywhere, from Warped Tour to the rooftop of Allentown’s Cigar Factory. Learn more about what’s coming, and be sure to tune in (at the times listed below or anytime) right here.
Tape Swap Radio is celebrating its fourth anniversary recording bands and hosting concerts in the Lehigh Valley with the launch of a new live series dubbed, ‘Rooftop Sessions.’ Tape Swap Radio, started by Lehigh Valley residents Matt Molchany and Shamus McGroggan in 2013, has partnered with The Alternative Gallery in Allentown to record live sets from bands on the roof of the four-story Cigar Factory Artist Studios building in South Allentown.
