I originally heard about Delta Rae while living up in Bethlehem, PA. The lively country six-piece has come up to Christmas City a handful of times in the past, and even won our hearts with a high-powered song about the rise and fall of Bethlehem Steel on 2015’s “After It All.” Even so, I had never gotten the chance to take in the full, live Delta Rae experience…

Today, we take a ride on the internet highway to Williamsburg, VA to listen to Scott Grim’s solo debut. The two-song “Hallelujah, Then,” released in October 2018, is a story about love, loss, and religion, and offers a stark contrast in styles from one song to the next.
Kara Hartzell’s self-titled 4-song EP is a moving story about heartbreak and life’s sudden — and sometimes, unexpected — changes. Recognizing, accepting, and moving on from life-changing events is something we all have to face at some point in our lives. To do so can be challenging and often frightening. It takes strength and courage to fight through it and move on. It’s even harder to share that with the world but, that’s exactly what Kara does with her latest release (July 2018).
With a distinctive voice and crafty acoustic guitar work, San Diego’s Mighty Mage (real name Khalid Hussain) has released a tender, yet dynamic single titled “Forgot the Way.”
Sometimes, the chase doesn’t always lead us where we would prefer.

I’m taking us down the turnpike to the Philly area for this week’s look into the indie music scene.
Today, we head west to Colorado, where Americana artist James Lee Baker just released a new single, “Cowtown Blues.”
Another wet Friday morning led us to move the season finale of our Out to Lunch Concert Series indoors, but that didn’t stop us from having a fun lunch break, one last time in 2018.
Sunday afternoon came with some Folk Vibes in South Bethlehem.
The #LVUMagicSummer just got a touch more magical.
