Thanksgiving Week Brings a Lot of Rock and Roll, Get Your Dancing Shoes Ready!!

Your one stop source for your weekend music scene entertainment in the Lehigh Valley and beyond...get your dancing shoes on and rock and roll!!!

GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!! Hello everyone! How are you doing? It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week and then the Christmas madness is right after. This year has flown by. Because this weekend begins the holiday week, I am including all the weekend entertainment for the next two weekends. It will give you plenty of options when you need to get rid of some of that extra turkey goodness you consumed. So get your dancing shoes ready! Get out and support local music. Thank the musicians because we, the fans, are the reason why they do what they do on a weekly basis. I am very thankful for all the musicians that put forth so much hard work and determination to keep me entertained on a weekly basis. But it's not just for me they do it for. They do it because they love music and they most definitely love the fans. I don't know where I would be without my music because music is what drives me. So say thank you to a musician, or a band, because thank you goes a long way. I hope everyone has a fantastic and rocking Thanksgiving!! Until next time...Music feeds the soul!!
