Hey it’s 25 degress outside, HEATWAVE! Not. Welcome to our new friends at the Reading Liederkrantz, they are now hosting some cool shows and chose us to spread the word. Old friends Jim Meck, Levi Bone, STORM, Stephanie Grace, Chestnut Grove, Hillbilly Shakespeare and several different incarnations of Steve Walker will be braving the elements to keep you entertained. If you follow Hillbilly Shakespeare online, one of their pages is going away so make sure you have ‘liked’ the right one to keep up with the guy’s antics. Don’t forget to be careful when you’re going out and about.
Do you want to see your band or venue listed here at WTIM send an email to tdietterick@21st-centurymedia.com with the particulars (at least 2 weeks in advance) and we’ll get it out there.
Tim Dietterick is the circulation manager at Berks-Mont Newspapers.
