Posted on by Leave a comment

Our Sounds of the Underground event is coming to SteelStacks in our hometown of Bethlehem, PA on Friday, June 21 — and the hype machine is fully operational!

The good folks at WFMZ 69 News in neighboring Allentown hosted Phillip Reese — our co-conspirator and host of Your Next Favorite Band — to shine a light on Sounds of the Underground among other regional events taking place this summer. In addition, local songwriter Alex Radus — who you will have not one, but two chances to hear on June 21 — gave us a musical preview of what is to come with a rendition of his song, “North Star.”

Nashville Meets Bethlehem: The Playlist

Posted on by Leave a comment

You may have heard us talking about this thing we’re doing back home in Bethlehem, PA next week. The concept: take eight local (or locally-tied) songwriters, and put on a mega-event in the form of a Nashville-style writers round.

The event? It’s Nashville Meets Bethlehem, taking place on Bethlehem’s iconic SteelStacks campus on Friday, November 17. And — as we’re known to do — we’re so excited that we decided to make a playlist about it!

Nashville Meets Bethlehem: The Playlist features a total of 16 tracks — two each from our lineup of The Beautiful Distortion, Billy Bauer (of Billy Bauer Band), Bobby Siegfried (Chasing Daylight), Bronte Fall, Carly Comando (Slingshot Dakota), Chelsea Mitchell (Dirty Dollhouse), Roi and the Secret People, and TIOGA.

In other words, we’ve given you 16 good reasons to get your tickets to the show — and we’re sure you’ll find many more good reasons to be in the building when the big night arrives!

Give yourself the ultimate preview below, and make sure you get yourself to Bethlehem next Friday!

Crossing the Streams with Your Next Favorite Band (Pt. 1)

Posted on by Leave a comment

Your Next Favorite Band is a podcast based back in our old stomping grounds of Bethlehem, PA. One thing we all share in common: a love for building community through music.

On this mashup episode, we dive into our plans to do that — together — later this year. In addition, we get a history lesson on not only the UMC platform, but the formative events that shaped its development.
