This is the weekend to honor local and up-and-coming musicians by joining the crowd for one of these shows!

The Electric City Music Conference takes over Scranton with live music from regional artists throughout the city along with the Steamtown Music Awards. Congratulations to all nominees! In addition, there’s Oktoberfests starting up to prep you for fall, as well as plenty of other events to keep you entertained right through Sunday Funday.

All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.

This week’s cover photo: Showcasing a masterful blend of Americana rock, alt-country, and roots-rock, Justin Bravo & The Kind are nominated for six Steamtown Music Awards for 2024. The band based out of NEPA is set to perform at the awards ceremony at TheVSpot on Thursday, September 12, and then at Harry’s Bar in Scranton as part of the Electric City Music Conference on Friday, September 13.
