How to... get on the 'fest lineup
-Posted by Jon Lunger, ArtsQuest’s Marketing Manager and the dude in the video at the end of this post. The number #1 question we receive at info@artsquest.org (three years running) is some variation of “how can my band play Musikfest / where do I send my submission.” So, as a public service announcement, we’ve tackled that question on our TV show, SteelStacks Live! ...

Surf's up, LV
-Posted by Jon Lunger, ArtsQuest’s holly, jolly Marketing Manager. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Great White Caps. Their land-locked brand of surf tunes always makes me smile, and they’re really just an old-fashioned, carefree good time. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing these Point Break-obsessed fellows a few times, including a few stops they made to our TV...

'tis the most wonderful time...
-Posted by Jon Lunger, ArtsQuest’s Marketing Manager and holiday cookie monster. Christmas in Bethlehem. It almost seems redundant to say, but the holiday season in the Christmas City is kind of a big deal. More than any other time of the year, the streets are alive with families, shoppers, carolers, horses… it’s pretty much the place to be. We’ve written extensively...

The Dirty Guv'nahs - "Baby We Were Young"
-Posted by Jon Lunger, ArtsQuest’s Marketing Manager and Guv’nah fan. Its no secret that as a result of Musikfest 2010, I became a huge fan of The Dirty Guv’nahs. If you didn’t catch them at the ‘fest, shame on you. Those that are familiar with these up-and-comers know that they play a particularly awesome arsenal of good, old-fashioned American rock and/or...
