Bethlehem-based rock band The Beautiful Distortion is one of 60 acts that received a call-back to audition for the “Music Under New York” (MTA MUSIC) program in May. MTA MUSIC provides more than 7,500 performances each year at approximately 30 locations throughout the New York City subway system. Every spring, MTA MUSIC presents a day of invite-only auditions in Manhattan to review and add new performers to their official roster.

This Friday’s Lehigh Valley Underground First Friday Concert Series lineup is now complete!
Welcome to summertime!
The prime time of the year arrived in a big way this past weekend, with festivals, official openings, and more. Now, it continues with a particularly stacked weekend of programming that promises something for everybody.
Also, a new month begins on Friday. You know what that means!

We wrapped up our holiday weekend at the Great Pennsylvania Music and Arts Celebration (PennMArt) where we began it, at the Allentown Fairgrounds Farmerama Stage.
Not only that, but we invited a few friends back to end the weekend with us.
By the time Sunday night came around at this weekend’s Great Pennsylvania Music and Arts Celebration (PennMArt), it was time to rock.
We had absolutely no trouble making that happen with some help from our friends.
