Joshua Radin / Brendan James – South Orange Performing Arts Center – South Orange, NJ – 10/16/25

Right before COVID broke out, Joshua Radin announced a tour that was to hit my hometown of Bethlehem, PA, but as we all know COVID cancelled all tours, among other things. Since then Joshua Radin has gone on tour, but nothing close to where I lived at the time, until this tour, which is in… Read More Joshua Radin / Brendan James – South Orange Performing Arts Center – South Orange, NJ – 10/16/25

Billy Bragg / Alice Phoebe Lou – Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – 10/1/22

There are musicians that play great music, but the lyrics don’t have any substance. This isn’t a bad thing per se, but most of time that music is marketed toward the masses. Then there are musicians that produce music that make you sit, think, analyze, and constantly have you listening over and over because their… Read More Billy Bragg / Alice Phoebe Lou – Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – 10/1/22

It’s been about six years since the Rx Bandits have done any sort of touring.  Prior to that, they seemed fairly active for the most part, but the six year gap had fans wondering if their beloved band would make a return.  I’d be first to admit I thought they were done, which would be… Read More Rx Bandits / Nova Charisma – Union Transfer – Philadelphia, PA – 6/25/22

Summer kicked off right when it was known that Fitz And The Tantrums and St. Paul & The Broken Bones were touring together around the summer timeframe.

All Time Low / Dashboard Confessional / Gnash – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/11/18

For the first time at Musikfest’s Main Stage on the South Side of Bethlehem, general admission/standing room was allowed and was the right decision for this show. The Summer Ever After Tour featuring All Time Low, Dashboard Confessional, and Gnash would’ve been fine with seating, but for both headliners their shows usually take fans into… Read More All Time Low / Dashboard Confessional / Gnash – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/11/18
