Here is APRIL, no fools here (as far as I can tell). Jim Meck, Steve Carlisle, Monkey Bizzness, Josh & Amy, Zach Alex, Phoenix N2O, STORM and Stephanie Grace are rocking the beginning of the fourth month. Rumor has it the outdoor venues are sweeping out the cob-webs and checking electric outlets for the coming outdoor season. First in is the April Jam and Open Stage over at the beautiful Hex Hollow Music in Barto, the date is the 26th and the dress is casual. It’s always a good time. It’s almost Berks Jazz Fest time so there will be plenty of local events going on.
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.
