November has quickly crept up on us. A quick calendar page turn so, easily forgotten hidden between Halloween and Black-Friday/Pre-Winter holiday chaos. Heck, the biggest thing for most people is Thanksgiving which is at the end of the month. But here in Philadelphia, November is a reason to celebrate all month long; specifically celebrating the music scene in Philadelphia.
"At the heart of Philly Sings Philly is the desire to explore our peers’ music, past and present, and the storied musical legacy of our city. As tradition goes, our hometown heroes will gather at The Fire every Tuesday in November to pay homage to their idols, adding a personal touch to their favorite songs by Philly-born artists. This year, the event has further expanded with new bands, fresh faces, and weekly curators."
Week 1 of Philly Sings Philly is this Tuesday at the Fire, featuring many Philly Sings Philly alumni, curated by Philly Sings Philly creator, Brad Hinton. The lineup includes: Ataloft, Tim Dougherty, Ben Smith, No Good Sister, Red Skiles and the Country Ramblers, Ginger Coyle, Mason Porter, Moonlight Family Singers, Kettle Pot Black, and Hezekiah Jones.
Whether you are coming out to see your favorite Philly band in person or to hear your favorite Philly song covered, chances are it is going to happen. Plan on coming for the full night, as there are typically surprises loaded into each night of the event. Whether it's a side project, a solo front-man, or just an amazing collaboration, the event is a breeding ground for great musical memories.
Last year during Philly sings Philly, Psalmships was covering a Brad Hinton tune, when part of Hezekiah Jones got on stage to join in, more and more of the band came up as Joshua Britton sang. Soon Joshua stopped singing , Hez started, and Joshua walked off stage, making a seamless band transition mid-song.
Come see what memories you'll take away!
