Join ArtsQuest for a comprehensive three-part training series designed for artists, administrators, and community leaders interested in facilitating impactful public mural projects.

Low Cut Connie has built its grassroots coalition of oddballs, underdogs, and fun-loving weirdos with songs that celebrate life on the fringes of polite society. Hailing from Allentown, Slingshot Dakota is an indie rock band comprised of two people— vocalist/pianist Carly Comando and drummer Tom Patterson, and has no shortage of volume, energy and catchy tunes.

After their Rick-Rubin-produced debut album, and a self-produced second record featuring songs they'd written for an award winning Netflix film, Ruen Brothers emerged with a powerful and timeless ode to Western classics on their 2023 'Ten Paces'.

Steel Hemlock is a female fronted 4 piece band teetering on the edge of country, rock, and grunge. Since forming in 2023, they’ve made their mark on Eastern PA as a growing force in the alternative country scene. Their first EP, Pardon the Mess, was released in 2024, a year after their debut single, Honky Tonk Song. Currently, they are playing in and around the Lehigh Valley, while working on songs for their first full length album.

One Acre West is the new Americana project from Kristi Jean and Steven Branstetter, blending storytelling, roots, and country influences into a sound shaped by their lives in Texas, Colorado, and now the Appalachian ridge-and-valley region. Music was always part of their path, but life sent them on a long detour through careers, raising families, and the practical responsibilities that quietly pull creative people away from their own stories. After years performing in cover bands, they found themselves craving something more personal. Their debut album, produced by Austin legend Bradley Kopp (Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, The Flatlanders, Eliza Gilkyson, Jerry Jeff Walker), is a return to the stories they almost left behind - songs about transitions, place, loss, and love. One Acre West invites listeners into a journey that honors the past but reaches for something more, shaped by grit, grace, and the power of lived experience.

Drawing on the traditional jazz heritage of their hometown of New Orleans, the Hot 8 Brass Band are renowned for including elements of funk, hip hop, rap, and its local variation, “bounce” in their music.

The Swell is a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based cover band led by brothers Travis & Tanner Brown, trading lead guitars & vocals. Raised on their parents’ vinyl collection and their drummer dad Andy’s basement jam sessions, the brothers grew up surrounded by sound.
