He has sold more than 50 million albums over the years and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.

While he first burst into the mainstream in 1971 with the single “I’m Eighteen,” Cooper and his bandmates at the time had been active for several years.
Originally from Arizona, the group — which was known as Alice Cooper, with the frontman gradually assuming the name and identity — moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960s and worked the city’s vibrant club circuit, opening for the Doors multiple times and signing with Frank Zappa’s Straight label for their first two albums.

Lehigh Invaded with Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery is debuting scary-good whiskies this fall, with its first fall spiced Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon and the ability to customize your own whiskey for your Halloween festivities through its J. Mattingly 1845 craft your bottle program.
Screenshot
Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon is a play on the brand’s Bourbon 30 Bourbon brand and this limited-edition release was created for the Halloween season.
Bourbon 31 is a blend of three whiskies which have all undergone J. Mattingly 1845’s Double Staving™ process and the blend consists of 51 percent Bourbon, 29 percent Light Whiskey and 20 percent Rye Whiskey. Double Staving is a proprietary process used by J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery that gives the whiskey inside the barrels additional surface exposure to charred barrel staves to impart more flavor and color.
The Double Staved Classic Bourbon used in this blend has just scored a 96 from famed Whiskey Bible author Jim Murray.
The Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon was created by J. Mattingly 1845’s team of expert blenders to reflect the flavors typically associated with fall. “When we blended these three whiskies, we were looking for a flavor profile that reflects flavors typically associated with fall, such as pumpkin and cinnamon while matching the light-hearted fun we’re having by changing the brand name from Bourbon 30 to Bourbon 31 to celebrate the Halloween season,” said Harry Richart, president, J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery.
Tasting notes for this bourbon describe it as having a nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and walnut, with the flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and fall baking spices on the palate. On the finish, pumpkin bread, baker’s chocolate and seasoned oak are prevalent.
Bourbon 31 is available online and at the J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Suggested retail pricing is $60 for a 750 mL and it is 98 proof.
J. Mattingly 1845 Custom Whiskey Program is the “Choose Your Own Adventure” of the whiskey world by allowing the buyer to choose between double staved™ bourbon, light whiskey or rye whiskey recipes, select their bottle shape, customize their own label, and even choose their own wax color from every color of the rainbow! This program is available online and in person at the Distillery and can result in some frighteningly fun labels and Halloween-themed wax colors. Imagine expressing your innermost devilish (or angelic) thoughts on the bourbon bottle you give your favorite boo.
Pricing for the custom bottles start at $120 for a 750 mL bottle and shipping is available to 46 states.

For Ukraine: A Concert of Remembrance and Hope at Miller Symphony Hall August 20
For Ukraine: A Concert of Remembrance and Hope at Miller Symphony Hall on Sunday, August 20
Miller Symphony Hall announces a very special concert, coming up on Sunday, August 20. For Ukraine: A Concert of Remembrance and Hope will unite everyone in support of Ukraine in her time of need and is presented by Miller Symphony Hall and The Allentown Band, just in time to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day (August 24).
Allentown Band Conductor Ronald Demkee notes:
“I am so looking forward to conducting this concert, which is special in so many ways.
Lots of wonderful music, some familiar, some new, and an internationally acclaimed composer conducting his own symphony that features a world class soloist and an outstanding youth chorus; this will surely result in a memorable and rewarding experience for all. Add to that the fact that net proceeds will support Ukrainian humanitarian efforts, which makes the event even more meaningful.”
The concert includes a video greeting from Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova, speaking on behalf of the people of her country. Allentown Symphony/Miller Symphony Hall Executive Director Al Jacobsen notes, “Ron and the Allentown Band approached us about co-presenting this concert and we were moved by the idea. As the atrocities in Ukraine continue, we will speak through music and raise funds to support those who need it most in this war.”
The performance features soloist Patricia Risley, mezzo-soprano, and a special appearance by The Bel Canto Youth Chorus of The Bach Choir of Bethlehem. Guest Conductor Johan de Meij will lead his Symphony # 4 Symphony of Songs, with movements that express both loss and hope. Opening the concert are two pieces by Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko, newly transcribed for band: Taras Bulba Overture and A Prayer for Ukraine. The chosen repertoire will also evoke feelings of optimism (A Plea for Ukraine by Ronald DeGranis), support and hope (A Tribute to Ukraine by Lawrence Kursar), introspection and resilience (Symphony No. 3, 6th Movement by Gustav Mahler), hope and victory (Symphony No. 5, 4th Movement by Ludwig van Beethoven) and the passion and spirit found in the Ukrainian National Anthem.
All net proceeds from the concert will go directly toward helping the people of Ukraine who continue to face enormous challenges and hardships. As always, the power of music to connect and inspire us will be shared by everyone who attends and supports this outreach to those in need.
For those wishing to make an extra donation to the effort, a donation through Ukraine’s official website is recommended: https://war.ukraine.ua/support-ukraine/
