Just a reminder from my most recent post – the next Weekly Music Lineup will be on September 16. While I take a step back to recharge the “batteries”, I’ve scheduled a couple posts to keep in touch. The first is this long overdue Local Artist Spotify Playlist. While I originally intended to post one each month, I have tried to focus more on new or recently released music. The playlists will be a little less frequent but, hopefully, the content will be fresh and new.

If you have new music coming out soon or have released anything in the past few months, let me know and I will be happy to include you on the next playlist. I’m looking for artists in our coverage area – Lehigh Valley, Poconos, Bucks, Berks, Carbon and Montgomery Counties. To be included, simply send your Spotify links to lvvoicesofthevalley@gmail.com, use the “contact us” form on the website or message me at https://www.facebook.com/lvvoicesofthevalley.

You can listen to the latest playlist at the link below.

*****EDITOR’S NOTE***** Every now and then, we all need a little vacation. For me, it’s been way too long. I will be taking a step back for a couple weeks but, the “Weekly Music Lineup” will return on 9/16/21. In the meantime, I have written and scheduled a couple articles – including a new Spotify playlist – and I will do my best to make some time to share them in the groups I normally share in. Please keep an eye out for them and continue to support local live music and the venues that bring it to us every week.

If you would like to see your events advertised here every week, simply let me know your schedule by Wednesday evening. Whether your event is live and in person or on-line, you can promote it here.

Last year saw changes to the way many things were done. The Blueberry Festival as we know it was one of the many local events that felt the effects of the pandemic. As we move closer and closer to what was “normal”, the 34th annual Blueberry Festival is back in full force. There are many things to see and do at the festival this year. You’ll find local craft beers, wines and spirits in the Brewery Tasting Tent. Your $25 ticket gains you admission to the festival, a souvenir tasting glass and 5 tastings (advance sales – day of tickets get you 4 tastings). You can also purchase your favorites separately. There will also be pie-eating contests, children’s activities, a dessert tent, crafts and much, much more. And, of course, live music on two different stages throughout the day both days. As you may have guessed by now, I’m here to talk about the music.

There will be live performances from many local artists on both stages throughout the weekend and Saturday’s performances will be capped with the Blueberry Jam Acoustic Open Mic presented by Voices of the Valley and hosted by myself at 5pm on the Brewery Stage. Registration for the open mic is still open but, there are a limited number of spots available. You can register at rpaganomusic@gmail.com or through messenger at https://www.facebook.com/lvvoicesofthevalley. Here’s your complete music lineup:

SATURDAY, 7/17

Community stage: Little Brass Band (10:30am), Joanna Bea & Mike ET (noon), Jeni Englund (1pm), Dave Reber – Celtic Nomads PA (3:15pm), Yingling-Porter on Tap (4:30pm) and Joe Argese (6pm). Brewery Stage: Temple Ave Jazz Band (11am), Will Kiss Band (1pm), Amber Peirce (3pm), Acoustic Mayhem (4pm), Blueberry Jam Acoustic Open Mic (5pm).

SUNDAY, 7/18

Community Stage: Dina Hall (10:30am), Big Wahu Caribbean Band (noon), PYT (1pm), Mark Misterio (3:15pm) and The Jack Murray Band (4:30pm). Brewery Stage: Andrew Lobby (11am), Fran Mayville (1pm), Matt Miskie (3pm) and Smooth Retsina Glow (5pm).
