2026 marks our 5th annual Musikfest Exordium where we preview “must see” bands, weather predictions, enjoy some live music, and kick things off with “the first part”.In this segment, we "get to the music" and hear phenomenal live performances from two bands who'll be performing during this year's Fest: Atlassian and Bren.Atlassian BioLehigh Valley local favorites Atlassian formed in the winter of 2015, when Nickolas Kossup and Anthony Belcaro were playing early acoustic versions of their songs. It was then in the spring of 2016 that a fuller version of the band was formed with Keyboardist Brad Murray. The band began to really blossom with the addition of their long-time musical confidant and lead guitarist Aaron Michael Brown of the band Saint Slumber.  A fuller sound and visual aesthetic were needed and was finally resurrected when they asked art director and bassist Dave Meyers to help make their vision come alive. Together Atlassian has been passionately working to create visually striking content, a memorable live show with healthy amounts of improvisation that not only solidifies the band's professional skills but proves they are worthy of the praise they get.Bren BioBren is a Philadelphia-based artist who weaves together elements of punk, indie-folk, alternative, and post-grunge into a musical tapestry that is all her own. Through her sonically cathartic songs, she shares authentic stories of human experience that resonate at a deep emotional level with her audiences. Her powerful yet nuanced vocal performance takes listeners on a journey from the transcendent and tender to the fierce and feral. And the music behind her is equally dynamic, ranging from massive “wall of sound” guitars and blasting beats to haunting, ethereal acoustic parts and subtle percussion.After multiple moves in her young adult life, Bren permanently relocated to Philadelphia and recorded her 2023 debut EP “Too Late for Flowers.” Bren lives and breathes the Philly indie scene, performing at numerous venues and sharing bills with both local and national artists. All of these experiences are being poured into her new music, and will culminate in her next record out in 2027. Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let's catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival

Advertisement Get More at LVwithLOVE.com! Musikfest Preview Night arrives Thursday, July 30, followed by 10 days of music, food, art and nearly unavoidable reunions throughout Bethlehem from Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 9. For the fifth annual Mayor's Musikfest Preview Podcast, we set up at StadtPlatz outside Bethlehem City Hall with Mayor J. William Reynolds and eight guests who plan the festival, perform on its stages, volunteer behind the scenes and help create the community around it. The 43rd Musikfest features more than 400 performers and 500 performances across 16 stages, 15 of which are free. Mayor Reynolds described Musikfest as a shared experience that cannot be recreated through a screen. “You can't one-up somebody else's experience. What happens there is that it brings people together, and it shows us what's possible when we're focused on people.” Building a temporary city ArtsQuest President and CEO Kassie Hilgert started with the people responsible for turning more than 50 acres of Bethlehem into the country's largest free music festival. “It takes 5,000 people to put this festival up and to tear it down. You've got volunteers that are taking 10 days from their vacation time at work to support this festival.” Hilgert also made a direct appeal for people to support the vendors, restaurants, hotels, artists and cultural organizations that keep events like Musikfest alive. Patrick Brogan, ArtsQuest's Chief Programming Officer, said more than 2,000 artists applied to perform this year. The final program includes 417 artists presenting 512 sets, with roughly one-third of the festival changing each year. His advice is simple: “Follow your ears through the festival.” Turn a corner, stop at an unfamiliar stage and stay long enough to find the artist who could become your next favorite. “The soundtrack of Bethlehem” Miguel Perez-Soto has experienced Musikfest as an ArtsQuest board member, a musician, a B. Braun Medical employee and a supporter who has been attending for 25 years. He has also watched Musikfest and ArtsQuest's year-round programming grow to represent more of the cultures found throughout Bethlehem. “Musikfest is the soundtrack of Bethlehem. We're going to have a great time doing this for the next 10 days, but throughout the year, Bethlehem always has the initiative to reinvent itself and put events together for the entire family, for the entire community.” A place where everyone can Fest Richard Liu helped lead the creation of SoberPlatz, the inclusive alcohol-free space that returns to the SouthSide for its second year. Located near Americaplatz and the Flywheel, SoberPlatz offers room to relax, activities, recovery resources and a community that does not revolve around drinking. Everyone is welcome. The only request is that visitors not bring alcohol into the space. Liu shared the response that showed exactly why SoberPlatz was needed. “I've had people tell me they didn't feel like they could Fest until SoberPlatz was there.” For Liu, Musikfest ultimately comes back to people. “It's the volunteers that I see year after year and become friends with. It's the friendships with performers who come back year after year. It's the community members who I see and become friends with. It's the people.” Learn more about SoberPlatz and its 2026 activities. Community voices and volunteers WDIY Executive Director Margaret McConnell described the station as another community organization powered largely by volunteers. WDIY was built by community members who wanted their own radio station. Its programming still reflects that original mission. “Picking hand-curated music, no algorithms involved. Very little automation. This is really led by this community, for this community.” ArtsQuest ambassador-level volunteer Robin Sherrerd has poured beer, sold tickets, worked with the Eco Squad and served as a site supervisor. “I worked my way up to site supervisor and enjoyed every bit of it because of the camaraderie that we have with all of the other volunteers.” Those relationships continue after the tents come down. Sherrerd said many volunteers have become friends who see one another and spend time together throughout the year. Two Bethlehem artists step onto the stage Bethlehem country artist Lilly Moss opens for Russell Dickerson at the Wind Creek Steel Stage on Friday, July 31. She returns Sunday, August 2 for a free Main Street performance. Two years ago, Moss opened a fortune cookie while attending the Maren Morris concert at Musikfest. “I opened a fortune cookie and it said, ‘You will make a name for yourself.'” She kept and framed the fortune. Now she plans to carry it onto the largest stage she has ever played. Moss said she no longer becomes more nervous as the crowds grow. “As the crowds get bigger, I get more excited. I feed off the energy and the adrenaline.” Jenny Founds performs with Ruby Dear at Zinzenplatz from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Sunday, August 2. The Bethlehem alternative-rock trio is expanding for a special Ruby Dear Big Band performance featuring additional musicians from Start Making Sense. Founds performs original music with Ruby Dear and Talking Heads music with Start Making Sense. She sees value in both. “I've had people come up to me and say, ‘I've never heard you before, but I can relate to your lyrics, and I've never felt seen like that.' So both are valid, and both give opportunities to musicians.” A free Musikfest stage gives original artists something particularly valuable: people who were walking past, heard something interesting and decided to enter the tent. The Musikfest must-do list Mayor Reynolds and George also shared a few rules for getting the most out of Musikfest: Put the phone away. Spend time with someone you unexpectedly run into. Buy at least one thing. Watch an artist perform original music. Show someone your favorite Musikfest spot. Try a food you are not completely sure about. Leave one night open and see where Musikfest takes you. Musikfest Preview Night is Thursday, July 30. The full festival runs Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 9.

First and foremost, Pepperwine is a groovy, funky, beachy vibe that is producing infectious music and puts on killer live shows.But they are also some of the kindest, funniest and most supportive humans around.  They were the 4th ever interview I did, back when I was co-hosting episodes with George Wacker under Lehigh Valley with Love: Music.  They were also part of the first Holiday Spectacular, and then under the Your Next Favorite Band banner, they were the first headliners of our No Planet B Jamboree, and have made various appearances here and there.  But never a fully dedicated NextFavBand episode.  So tonight, we rectify that!We'll revisit their personal backstories and journeys to musician-life.  We'll also hear about the song writing process, and how the bangers are still being created.  And the have a brand new anthem called "MSH" that they debuted at Musikfest last year, and lit stages and earholes on fire.Rumor has it that they might play an acoustic version of it live during the broadcast!  Don't miss it!Pepperwine Biohe story of Pepperwine began in the fall of 2010 when a guitar player in a punk band biked over to a local music school and told them he needed vocal lessons.  The owner said he had just the teacher in mind - a “bad ass” named Kellie.  Now over a decade later, that bad ass teacher and guitar player have produced two 5-song EPs, one 11-song full length LP, various singles, a marriage, and...... PEPPERWINE!!With just four members and eight hands, Pepperwine uses voice, piano, synthesizer, guitar, bass, and percussion to create hip shaking-rhythms and head-nodding tunes.  The music effortlessly blends elements of soul, pop, funk, and rock with Leading Lady Kellie offering a powerful yet sultry vocal cherry on top.Pepperwine has played over 200 live shows at venues and festivals throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, and Delaware. The repertoire continues to grow, the grooves are getting more infectious… stay tuned!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let's catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival

Das Blasorchester Neuenkirch ist eine von acht Schweizer Formationen, die am 20. World Music Contest in den Niederlanden teilnehmen. Der World Music Contest findet vom 9. Juli bis zum 2. August in Kerkrade NL in der Nähe von Maastricht statt. Während viele Musikvereine Sommerpause machen, probt das Blasorchester Neuenkirch intensiv für den Wettbewerb. «Natürlich wollen wir gut abschneiden, aber uns ist auch die gemeinsame Zeit als Verein wichtig», sagt der Präsident des Blasorchesters Neuenkirch, Michel König, im Gespräch mit der SRF Musikwelle. Ihren aktuellen Formstand haben die Musikantinnen und Musikanten bereits am Eidgenössischen Musikfest 2026 in Biel eindrücklich bewiesen. In der Konzertmusik der Kategorie Harmonie 1. Klasse holten sie sich den 1. Rang vor ihrer Jury. «Das schafft Selbstvertrauen und kittet den Verein zusammen», freut sich Michel König. Das Blasorchester Neuenkirch wird am 25. Juli am Wettbewerb teilnehmen. Die weiteren Schweizer Formationen am diesjährigen World Music Contest sind (in der Auftrittsreihenfolge): Brass Band Schüpfen, Brass Band Treize Étoiles, Ensemble de Cuivres Ambitus, VBJ Youth Wind Orchestra, Blasorchester Stadtmusik Luzern, Jugend-BLO Oberer Sempachersee und Symphonisches BLO Kreuzlingen.

In der dritten «Potzmusig»-Sommerfolge präsentiert Nicolas Senn zusammen mit Redaktor und Blasmusik-Experte Roman Portmann die Parademusik-Highlights vom Eidgenössischen Musikfest 2026, das im vergangenen Mai in Biel stattgefunden hat. Vom 14. bis 17. Mai 2026 verwandelte sich Biel in ein einzigartiges Blasmusik-Festgelände mit über 500 Vereinen, 22'000 Musizierenden, 2400 Helfenden und Zehntausenden Musikfans. Während vier Tagen haben sich die teilnehmenden Blasmusikvereine in verschiedenen Wettbewerben gemessen. Dazu zählte auch die Parademusik, die sich als besonderer Publikumsmagnet auszeichnete. Nicolas Senn und Blasmusik-Experte Roman Portmann blicken gemeinsam auf die schönen Momente dieses Wettbewerbs zurück und zeigen ausgewählte Highlights der Parademusik.

I've heard tracks from Love? said the Commander consistently on Dan Drago's 25 O'Clock Pod pretty regularly over the years.  And every time it always caught my ear, and tug at my emotions.  I suppose that's where the genre label "emo" truly comes from.At some point, when I heard another one of their brilliant songs, I just said "alright, that's it.  I've gotta have them on the show".  And reached out to Kate Hall and Chris Bishop and we started to plan for it.Then they pitched me this great idea - they do this thing called Secret Songs where you can engage with them to use their talents to write a song for something or someone special.  You just provide them with the prompts and some key details to include lyrically.  So they offered to do that for the show and, if I was down, to have me hear it for the first time live during the broadcast.Naturally I asked them to write about the show's love and connection to ... Musikfest!  Especially with that right around the corner.  And so I gave them all the details around the Exordium, the Picks of the Platz, the Aw Shucks corn, the mugs, and so on.  Can't wait to take a listen with all of you!Don't miss this one - you'll love Love? said the Commander!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let's catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival

We've been enjoying the music of KOSER for quite some time now, via Musikfest discovery and the Philly music scene.  Koser is the namesake of the band and is the frontwoman with powerhouse performance chops, and a brilliant flair for melody and finding that hook that has you coming back for more.During last year's Musikfest Daily LIvestreams, the universe did its magic, by having the schedule bring on Koser along with the people behind Soberplatz, and then the magic took over.  Koser is herself on a sober journey, celebrating 8 years now.Richard Liu was at that Daily Livestream last summer as well, and will join as our guest co-host for the episode.  He's connected with both ArtsQuest and Sync Recovery and was a driving force behind making Soberplatz happen last year, and it's return again at this year's Musikfest.KOSER is playing a free show on the Levitt SteelStacks this Friday, June 5th and it's called the Path to Soberplatz, to announce it's return.  And they are also performing at Musifkest again this year as well.This interview is sure to touch on a number of powerful and interesting topics, and it sounds like KOSER might perform live during the broadcast.  Please tune in and share your thoughts and questions during the livestream!Band BioKOSER is an alternative rock band known for fusing brooding textures with explosive energy. The group draws from post-punk, grunge, and electronic influences to craft a sound that's delightfully soulful and sonically rich. Their music balances heavy, cinematic atmospheres with razor-sharp hooks and honest lyricism. Formed in 2022, KOSER is made up of 5 virtuosos whose live shows channel the same energy as their recordings— moody, immersive, and sneakily powerful. Pairs well with Mannequin Pussy, Radiohead, and Hayley Williams.Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let's catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival

«Bella Musica» feiert die Blasmusik. In der nationalen Spezialsendung blickt SRF auf das Eidgenössische Musikfest 2026 in Biel zurück und lässt die schönsten Momente des musikalischen Megaevents noch einmal aufleben. Vom 14. bis 17. Mai 2026 verwandelte sich Biel in ein einzigartiges Blasmusik-Festgelände. Mit über 500 Vereinen, 22'000 Musizierenden, 2400 Helfenden und Zehntausenden Musikfans zählt dieser Event zu den weltweit grössten Musikveranstaltungen. Vier Tage pure Feststimmung, musikalische Leidenschaft und grossartige Blasmusik-Power – das ist «Bella Musica». Die nationale Spezialsendung blickt noch einmal auf die schönsten und emotionalsten Momente zurück, zeigt musikalische Highlights und lässt die Schweizer Blasmusik hochleben. In der vibrierenden Atmosphäre der Bieler Coupole ertönen Fanfaren, Harmonien und Brass Bands. «Bella Musica» rückt die Vielfalt der eidgenössischen Blasmusik-Szene ins Rampenlicht, überrascht mit einem vielfältigen Repertoire und verbindet Tradition und Moderne. Von der Fanfare de Crissier über Schwyzerörgeli-Virtuose Marc Tschanz bis hin zu Vagamundos und Hello Heidi mit ihrem frechen Jodel – die Kreativität ist kaum zu überbieten. Mit von der Partie sind die Lookseego Street Band mit ihrem energiegeladenen musikalischen Mix sowie eine Reportage über die Fanfare L'Avenir de Chamoson. «Bella Musica» besucht verschiedene Musikschulen und Konservatorien, die den musikalischen Nachwuchs der Schweiz ausbilden. Ausserdem fährt der Bieler Künstler und Musiker Cee-Roo im E-Tuk-Tuk durch Biel und lädt Festivalbesucherinnen und -besucher dazu ein, verschiedene Blasinstrumente auszuprobieren. Unter Einbezug von SRG-Archivmaterial entstehen dabei einzigartige Klangtexturen, die die Handschrift des Künstlers tragen. Durch die rund einstündige, nationale Spezialsendung «Bella Musica» führen Nicolas Senn (SRF), Carla Norghauer (RSI), Elin Batista (RTS), Sébastien Basch (RTS).

Die Harmoniemusik Glarus will sich beim diesjährigen Eidgenössischen Musikfest in Biel beweisen. Das Hobbyorchester muss ein schwieriges Stück präsentieren, von dem nicht alle im Verein begeistert sind. Denn in einem Blasmusikverein ist das heitere Vereinsleben mindestens so wichtig wie die Musik. Für die vierköpfige Familie Oertli ist der Blasmusikverein ein Lebensgefühl. Schon seit Jahrzehnten sind die Eltern Mitglieder der Harmoniemusik Glarus und haben ihre Leidenschaft an die beiden Söhne weitergegeben. Für Sohn Noël wird es am «Eidgenössischen» ernst. Als Tambourmajor führt er das Orchester durch die Bieler Innenstadt.

Das erste elsässische Musikfest wird mit einem denkwürdigen Konzert eröffnet. Auf dem Programm: Mahlers 5. Symphonie und die Tondichtung "Sinfonia Domestica" von Richard Strauss . Beide Werke dirigiert von den Komponisten selbst.

Wallis: Zweifel an Rechtmässigkeit von Wolfsabschuss, Not Vital: Vergangenheit holt den Bündner Künstler ein, 35. Eidgenössisches Musikfest in Biel BE

I became a fan of Weakened Friends straight off of the first listen of their iconic hit "Blue Again" back in 2019 in preparation of Musikfest that summer.  This many years later, and now hosting a podcast, the opportunity came up to be able to interview Sonia Sturino and Annie Hoffman and I jumped at the opportunity.They've just released brand new music, and it is there best stuff yet.  The album is called Feels Like Hell, and comes out of a long wait - not quite "writer's block", more like waiting for the right time to harness the songwriting creativity.We get in to all the things - their early journeys to music, how the found each other, finding balance between their approaches that can be at odds, and navigating where people are allowed to go on stage.Band BioThe story of Weakened Friends unfolds a bit like Fleetwood Mac's—minus the cocaine, plus a dose of multivitamins. Just over a decade ago, vocalist Sonia Sturino invited bassist Annie Hoffman to start a new band.  Now, ten years later, they're three albums deep into the band that would come to define their lives—and Sonia and Annie are married.Grounded in love, Weakened Friends make music to soundtrack the movie of your life—whether screaming along in the car with friends, serenading your cat, falling in love, getting married, or starting a band.Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let's catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival

Das 1937 komponierte großformatige Oratorium "Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln" von Franz Schmidt ist eine Vertonung der "Apokalypse des Johannes" für sechs Solisten, großen Chor und Orchester. In der Hamburger Elbphilharmonie wird dieses außergewöhnliche Werk zur Eröffnung des Internationalen Musikfestes Hamburg am 1. und 2. Mai erstmals zu hören sein. Mit dabei sind: ein hochkarätig besetztes Sängerensemble, das NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, der MDR-Rundfunkchor und das NDR Vokalensemble. Am Pult steht Manfred Honeck."Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln" gilt als eines der letzten großen Monumente der österreichischen Spätromantik. "Für mich ist es ein Schlüsselwerk", so Honeck, "was er da an gewagten Klängen und musikalischen Feinheiten anbietet, ist gigantisch".Zu Gast bei NDR Kultur à la carte spricht Manfred Honeck mit Beate Scheibe über ein faszinierendes Oratorium, über seine Arbeit und die bald zwanzigjährige Amtszeit als Musikdirektor des Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

This episode is special - as it represents the perfect outcome of what this show was build on and all about.  The Vindys were the band at the top of our "must see" list heading in to Musikfest 2025 last summer, and they exceeded expectations with an incredible performance.  Then they were also super nice and agreed to come on the show.  So here we are, sitting down with lead singer and head songwriter Jackie Popovec, lead guitarist John Anthony, and rhythm guitarist Rick Deak.For the past decade, The Vindys have been captivating audiences with their signature blend of rock, soul, and pop. Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, the band has built a devoted following through electrifying live performances and heartfelt songwriting.At the heart of The Vindys is powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Jackie Popovec, who has earned high praise from none other than Pat Benatar, who raved, “She's amazing. That girl can sing her ass off.” She's backed by an exceptional lineup, with John Anthony delivering electrifying lead guitar, Rick Deak on rhythm guitar, Owen Davis on drums, Brendan Burke on bass, and Nathan Anthony on keys. Together, this dynamic ensemble crafts a sound that Music Connection Magazine hails as “rock and roll at its finest.”This is one you're not going to want to miss!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".
