I guess everyone… WTIM friends welcoming Spring include Monkey Bizzness, Jim Meck, Mudpuppy, Steve Carlisle, Christine Havrilla and Josh & Amy. Our frinds at Listen Live Music in Macungie are hosting one of their famous bringing Nashville North, Artist in the Round events. These intimate in the round concerts are fun and sell out quickly so get there early or go to listenlivemusic.org and purchase them online. WTIM friend Zach Alex (of Coahoma Soul) has a new solo album called “20 Years in the Ground” out. I took a listen and liked it, you can hear it too at zachalex.bandcamp.com. Speaking of new stuff, CD’s Place has reopened with a NEW menu and NEW hours but the SAME great rock n roll vibe and the SAME friendly atmosphere! The Boyertown/Oley Bark for Life EpiphoneWildkat raffle guitar will be making it’s first appearance at the Pottstown Bark for Life Event on Saturday April 11th. Stop by, say hello and check out this beautiful instrument.
