Summer is winding down; But the outdoor concert scene is heating up!

Almost time to get back to reality as our outdoor concerts wind down at the end of summer... But don't fret - There are still some GREAT shows planned to ease you into that back-to-work or back-to-school mode!

Tonight is a GREAT example with a FREE show out in Eagleview with an incredible band - The Tisburys! If you don't know these guys yet, you really should take the time to check them out... This local Philly-based rock band has been doing it the old-fashioned way for nearly a decade now – playing hundreds of shows, showing up at hundreds more, and putting in the effort to grow their scene and help make Philly music better.

Going back to their early pre-pandemic EPs, each release in their discography has gotten a little better, a little sharper, and a little bigger. And with their 4th album, A Still Life Revisited, The Tisburys moved up a league, with lead singer Tyler Asay and the band penning their best batch of songs yet. Produced at Headroom Studios and Dr. Dog’s Mt. Slippery with their longtime engineer/producer Justin Nazario, it shows a band still rooted in their love of ‘90s radio rock and classic power pop sounds from The Replacements to The Gin Blossoms, Petty to Wilco. However, they are also breaking out of those big shadows and forging their own path. Songs like “The Anniversaries” and “Forever” are perfect examples, both having been played extensively on XPN in recent months.

Opening for The Tiburys tonight at 7:00 pm will be the former frontman of The Caulfields, John Faye also with a full band - Should be an amazing night of music out there at Eagleview in Lionville... More info on the show can be found at: https://www.eagleviewtowncente...

The fun continues out in King of Prussia on Wednesday as Andy Frasco & The U.N. comes to Concerts Under the Stars... Frasco has been described a cross between John Belushi’s “Joliet” Jake Blues and Jimmy Buffett—but sounds like himself: a band-leading, genre-blending, songwriting party animal. Onstage, he turns into a rock 'n' roll Tasmanian Devil, channeling Springsteen-style energy as he leads his band, through instrument swaps, stage dives, and spontaneous crowd moments.

And if that visual spectacular was not enough, Saxsquatch, the 7’ tall multi-instrumentalist, producer, and electronic music artist from North Carolina is tapped to open the show complete in his full-length, furry, Big Foot outfit! Should be quite the spectacular sight out there in KoP...

Friday, August 15th, the folks over at the Bryn Mawr Twilight Concert Series bring back Stephen Kellogg for another round of stories & magical music - The West Chester-born New England transplant still shows his love for our area with heartfelt tunes about life presented along side some hilarious stories about him navigating that life with his wife and four daughters... His music will make you laugh, make you think, make you cry & make you appreciate this world in which we live just a little better...

Singer-songwriter Madisun Bailey will open & more info for this show can be found at: https://www.brynmawrtwilightco...

BACK out to King of Prussia on Sunday, August 17th for a night of music from the legendary John Oates! The co-founder of the legendary group Hall & Oates, is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the American Songwriters Hall of Fame a BMI Icon award winner and has won numerous American Music, MTV awards, and multiple Grammy nominations. As part of Hall & Oates he has recorded 21 albums, scored 10 number one records, over 20 Top 40 hits which have sold over 80 million units, making them the most successful duo in rock history.

John is also an accomplished solo artist who has recorded 8 albums and released multiple singles since the early 2000s. In 2017 he released an autobiography " Change of Season" that became an Amazon Best Seller. Singing from the time he could talk and playing the guitar since the age of five, John Oates was destined to be a musician.

Born in New York City, his family moved to a small town outside of Philadelphia, PA in the early 1950s. Since then John's life has paralleled the evolution of Rock and American Popular music. He was influenced by the early rock and rhythm and blues artists as well as the nascent roots music of the 1960s folk revival, as well as bluegrass, delta blues, and ragtime. His solo work is an amalgamation of all his early influences as a part of Nashville's Americana Music community.

John continues to tour worldwide with an intimate acoustic songs and stories performance that has garnered rave reviews. A great opportunity to see this amazing performer in a small setting... Don't miss your chance!

ADDED BONUS! Another Philly-based talent, Mutlu, is set to open the show - Mutlu combines his innate Philly-soul style with elements of folk, reggae and rock. This cohesive blend of music creates a rare and retro sound that is entirely timeless. His music's deeply rooted retro grooves and smooth vocals continue to win widespread praise. His inspiring songwriting carries resonating messages that are undeniably limitless, while instilling hope in audiences worldwide.
