Get out there this weekend to look up at the leaves and look into some local talent! From Thursday through Sunday, the lineup is packed with fall festivals, acoustic sets, open mics, full bands, and everything in between. Make it a night to remember at one of these great venues, showcasing skilled musicians from across our region and beyond.
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
This week’s cover photo: The Boock and Burke Duo has two stops in Scranton this weekend! Find this accomplished acoustic duo playing Andy Gavin’s on Friday, October 18, and then heading over to Poor Richard’s Pub on Saturday, October 19. These long-time friends and musicians always aim to bring a ton of fun to the stage!
