… and then there was JULY!? Oh yeah it’s here. As we welcome July we also welcome new WTIM friends at Union Jacks Old Congo Hotel, Joanie over there was nice enough to send us their line-up through July and we want to Thank them for promoting live, local music! Other friends turning up the heat on another summer are Jim Meck (with and without The Guide Dogs), Monkey Bizzness on the road in (of all places) Lewistown, The Pat Garrett Band celebrating bacon and beer in Kempton, Neighbor Dave and Steve Walker both hosting open mics this week. Speaking of promoting local live music we are always grateful to places like The State Theater, The Other Farm Brewing Co, The Greshville Inn, The Bridge Inn (just to name a few) that continue to give local talent a place to bring music to life. We’re starting to firm up a line-up for a show we’re putting together for the Boyertown/Oley Bark For Life event scheduled for Oct. 5 (never too early) tentatively billed as ‘Howling for a Cure.’ I will post the line-up here first so keep watching for more info… See you 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 two weeks in advance) and we’ll get it out there.
Tim Dietterick is the circulation manager for Berks-Mont Newspapers.
