Harper and the Midwest Kind
“Harper is an original, playing the harmonica like an authentic Chicago bluesman, singing about unity and love like a member of peacenik jam band, belting crisp vocals like a straight-up classic soul performer, and then pioneering the didgeridoo into these popular forms of modern music. Unique and quality music of this kind is truly a rare treat.”

The Jellybricks
The band formed in the mid-90s and their hook-laden songs owe debts of inspiration to decades of melodic Rock ’n’ Roll from the ’60s British Invasion through ’70s Punk, ’80s College Rock and ’90s Alternative. The Jellybricks were recently voted the Top Rock Band at the 2020 Central PA Music Awards. A regional favorite!
