Celebrate Walnut Street Pony Bridge’s Admission to the National Register of Historic Places on Oct 14

By Ruben Kellermen — 1 year ago

Celebrating the Recognition of the Walnut Street Pony Bridge’s Admission to the National Register of Historic Places in Hellertown, PA on October 14 2023.

Hellertown Lower Saucon Chamber of Commerce, proud partner of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the Hellertown Historical Society to celebrate the addition of the Walnut Street “Pony” Bridge into America’s National Register of Historic Places and commemorate the hard work that goes into gaining such a significant designation!    

Celebration and ribbon cutting on October 14th from 12:00-3:00 PM

The celebration and ribbon cutting will take place on October 14th from 12:00-3:00 PM, with a 12:30 PM ceremonial cutting of the ribbon. This event is free and open to the public, and all are welcome to attend.In addition to the ribbon cutting ceremony, there will be live music from The Wonton Soups, the museum will be open for tours, and areas describing the process of getting recognized by the National Register of Historic Places!

Light refreshments will be available, provided by Dana’s Catering. The celebration will occur rain or shine!  

Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.

The Walnut Street Bridge – built in 1860 – received recognition on the National Register for being the last known example of a single-span, single-lane Pratt through-truss bridge in North America. Society member Roy “Chip” Wagner was responsible for researching the bridge’s history and writing the National Register application. 

The bridge was fabricated from both cast and wrought iron at the Beckel Iron Foundry and Machine Shop in Bethlehem. It was placed in service across Saucon Creek in 1860 and carried pedestrians, horses, buggies, and eventually cars and tractors. In the late 1960s, the bridge was declared structurally incapable of supporting school bus traffic and was replaced with a modern structure. The original bridge was saved and relocated, primarily in one piece, to a site along Walnut Street adjacent to the 1760 Heller-Wagner Grist Mill operated by the Historical Society. The bridge remained there, untouched, for more than 20 years. 

 

Volunteers from the Society worked with graduate students from Lehigh University and local businesses to rehabilitate the bridge and restore it to its original appearance. The project spanned four years from 1994-1998. One of the Lehigh students was Perry Green – now Dr. Perry Green – who will deliver the event’s keynote speech. Most of his fellow Lehigh students who worked on the project will be in attendance. 

Stacie Torkos, Vice President of the Hellertown Historical Society said:

“We cannot wait to share this historic recognition with our Hellertown Community! It’s been exciting to be part of such an important and meaningful reflection of local history. We look forward to celebrating with the entire Hellertown Borough, and hope to continue to bring events and recognition like this to Hellertown!”  

  

“When I look at the beautiful Walnut Street Pony Bridge, I’m reminded of the importance of knowing our history and appreciating the contributions of those who came before us. It is incredible that something made in the 1800’s to accommodate foot traffic and horses serviced the community until the 1970’s! Having an appreciation for the work of the people who lived in our community before, and the hard work of community members to preserve that history, is humbling, and it is incredible to be able to see that the only surviving bridge of its kind is right here in our back yard!” said Kate Hartney, coordinator for the Hellertown Lower Saucon Chamber of Commerce.  

 

All community members are welcome to celebrate the Pony Bridge being recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. There will be limited edition t-shirts and other Historical Society related merchandise available for purchase to support the work of the Hellertown Historical Society.

The Ultimate Ozzy Osbourne Experience! Land of Ozz with Special Guest Mystery City at Penn’s Peak Friday, Nov 17, 7:30pm

By Ruben Kellermen — 1 year ago

Penn’s Peak is proud to announce Land of Ozz with Special Guest Mystery City, Friday, November 17, 2023 at 7:30pm.

Welcome to The Land Of Ozz – The Ultimate Ozzy Osbourne Experience!

A stunning reproduction of Ozzy’s solo material, focusing on the classic Randy Rhoads era as well as the prime Jake and Zakk years. And let’s not forget the origins – where it all begins – classic Ozzy era of Black Sabbath. This visual and sonic experience is brought to stages around the country by six seasoned and well respected musicians.

  

At the center is Stephen Desko; an Ozzy so authentic that not only is the visual resemblance eerie, there is no other performer that sounds as close to the real deal. Hands down, no question, the best Ozzy on the circuit today!

What’s an Ozzy show without a guitar hero? Meet teenage guitar prodigy Matt Stanley, who mastered the entire Diary Of A Madman album in one afternoon at 15 years old, performing his first gig with The Land Of Ozz at only 16. The crowds reaction to Matt is the true testimony to his talent and skill. Come see it for yourself!

To see where Matt inherited his chops from, look no further than the other side of our stage. This is where you will find his father, Mike Stanley on rhythm guitar. Mike is a Berklee College Of Music grad, and to see father and son trading guitar licks onstage is truly inspiring.

Bringing experience, dedication, and performance to the table is Get The Led Out founder Paul Piccari on bass. Having performed for crowds as large as 50,000, Paul is non-stop motion and thunderous bottom-end on stage.

Adding, power, precision and pedigree to The Land of Ozz is Tom Stewart on drums. With over 30 yrs. stage experience, he is the engine that powers The Land of Ozz’s crazy train. Tom follows in his father’s footsteps, as he had opened for Van Halen, Judas Priest, and Blue Oyster Cult in the 1980’s.

Wakeman, Emerson, Banks….these are the inspirations that give keyboardist Mike “Viv” Vivial the dexterity and fingers to pull off the classic Don Airey sounds and licks – a real keyboardist playing the parts as they should be played.

The Land Of Ozz truly is The Ultimate Ozzy Osbourne Experience!

Tickets on sale Friday, September 22nd at 10:00AM at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar.  Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant ticket sales are walk-up only, no phone orders.

The Four Horsemen – Metallica Tribute at Penn’s Peak Friday, December 15

By Ruben Kellermen — 1 year ago

Penn’s Peak is proud to announce The Four Horsemen- Metallica Tribute, Friday, December 15, 2023 at 8pm.

Dedication to excellence is what separates U.S. metal heroes THE FOUR HORSEMEN from the ocean of ‘tribute’ bands.

The only album-quality Metallica tribute band on the planet

They deliver the unforgettable, note-for-note perfect experience that is guaranteed to surpass even the wildest dreams of Metallica aficionados.

The speed, the precision, the signature riffs, and the look – THE FOUR HORSEMEN are the real deal!

The Four Horsemen - Metallica Tribute at Penn’s Peak Friday, December 15

They have the talent to deliver the sonic authenticity of the vintage thrash songs with high caliber execution – including the blistering vocals of the albums like no one else. No gimmicks on the stage. Just sheer energy, chest-pounding, crowd-pleasing power.  The very same intensity that drew millions to Metallica in the 80’s. Guitarist/vocalist Sean Perry explains; “Fans deserve the highest quality reproduction of Metallica’s records and shows. That’s why we’re here.”

The Four Horsemen - Metallica Tribute at Penn’s Peak Friday, December 15

 Guided by his vision and determination, the band have become heroes to their ever-growing fan base in the U.S. and are now spreading their wings to take over the globe.

 “I saw Metallica on the Black Album tour in 1991 and that experience changed me forever…”

The sound, the energy between band and audience – from that moment on I knew what I was put on earth to do. Music is my life!” says Sean.  Little did he know that his thrasher heroes would play an even bigger part in his artistic future when he was approached by a Metallica tribute band looking for a new, charismatic front man in late 2006.

 Every live performance they have done has received widespread acclaim; the band have taken the art of paying tribute to a new level of potency. Focusing on Metallica’s first four, classic albums – Kill ‘Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, and …And Justice For All – with a smattering of anthems from the all-conquering Metallica/Black Album they deliver a show metal fans dream of.

The Four Horsemen have now taken global management by Jeff Hair, legendary sound engineer for MANOWAR.

 Be warned: They are primed and ready to bring their high-energy show to stages around the world!

Tickets on sale Thursday, August 3rd at 10:00AM at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar.  Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant ticket sales are walk-up only, no phone orders.

Lettuce Plays Penn’s Peak Thursday, November 2, 2023

By Ruben Kellermen — 1 year ago

Penn’s Peak is proud to announce Lettuce, Thursday, November 2, 2023 at 8pm.

Unify.  The eighth studio album from Lettuce, it’s also a third consecutive record made at Denver’s Colorado Sound Studios, completing a loose trilogy starting with 2019’s Grammy-nominated Elevate, and continuing with 2020’s Resonate. 

“Dealing with the pandemic, being in separate places, trying to survive without our best friends, without touring, not to mention the political divide in this country,”

says Lettuce drummer

Adam Deitch. 

“We really needed to unify.” 

Reunited with Colorado Sound’s esteemed engineer, Jesse O’Brien, Unify is a totally collaborative effort full of the highest of highlights, including its centerpiece track “Keep That Funk Alive,” inspired by the venerable Parliament-Funkadelic bassist, Bootsy Collins, and featuring Collins on bass and vocals. 

It’s, as well, a benchmark moment for the sextet- Adam Deitch (drums), Ryan Zoidis (saxophone), Adam Smirnoff (guitar), Erick Coomes (bass), Nigel Hall (keyboards/vocals), Eric ‘Benny’ Bloom (trumpet)- approaching thirty years since its humble Boston beginnings.

“We’re just getting tighter and tighter,” says Coomes.  “Really, these are the first records made with the six of us as a team, and it’s the best the band has ever been: live and in the studio; the funkiest and the most fun.”

16 songs.  Pure Lettuce.  Unify will teleport you to a funky galaxy far, far away, where all life coexists as one in peace, love, harmony, and music!

Tickets on sale Friday, July 14th at 10:00AM at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar.

Buddy Guy with Vintage Trouble at Penn’s Peak October 14

By Ruben Kellermen — 1 year ago

Penn’s Peak is proud to announce Buddy Guy with Vintage Trouble, Saturday, October 14, 2023 at 8pm.

At age 86, Buddy Guy is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues. Buddy Guy has received 8 GRAMMY Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, 38 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.”

Buddy Guy with Vintage Trouble at Penn’s Peak October 14

In 2019, Buddy Guy won his 8th and most recent GRAMMY Award for his 18th solo LP, “The Blues Is Alive And Well”.

In July of 2021, in honor of Buddy Guy’s 85th birthday, PBS American Masters released “Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away”, a new documentary following his rise from a childhood spent picking cotton in Louisiana to becoming one of the most influential guitar players of all time. The documentary features new interviews with Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr, and more. Watch the full documentary at PBS Online here.

Though Buddy Guy will forever be associated with Chicago, his story actually begins in Louisiana. One of five children, he was born in 1936 to a sharecropper’s family and raised on a plantation near the small town of Lettsworth, located some 140 miles northwest of New Orleans. Buddy was just seven years old when he fashioned his first makeshift “guitar”—a two-string contraption attached to a piece of wood and secured with his mother’s hairpins.

In 1957, he took his guitar to Chicago, where he would permanently alter the direction of the instrument, first on numerous sessions for Chess Records playing alongside Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and the rest of the label’s legendary roster, and then on recordings of his own. His incendiary style left its mark on guitarists from Jimmy Page to John Mayer. “He was for me what Elvis was probably like for other people,” said Eric Clapton at Guy’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2005. “My course was set, and he was my pilot.”

Seven years later, July 2012 proved to be one of Buddy Guy’s most remarkable years ever. He was awarded the 2012 Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime contribution to American culture; earlier in the year, at a performance at the White House, he even persuaded President Obama to join him on a chorus of “Sweet Home Chicago.” Also in 2012, he published his long-awaited memoir, When I Left Home.

These many years later, Buddy Guy remains a genuine American treasure and one of the final surviving connections to an historic era in the country’s musical evolution.
