It’s a Triple Threat spring holiday eggstravaganza with Easter, 4/20, and WrestleMania all rolled up into one long, hip-hopping, action-packed, extra lit weekend. Did I fit enough festive puns in there?
Whether you’re commemorating the Easter holiday, gearing up for “The Grandest Stage of Them All”, or whatever it is you’re celebrating this spring break—Northeastern Pennsylvania is stacked with live music to compliment the vibes.
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
Cover Photo of the Week: Lipstick & Rye is a local country duo made up of Amy Lee Hubbard and Ryan Fenton. The two have been breaking into the local scene with their new lil’ band and playing all your favorite country hits at venues across Lackawanna County. See them for yourself on Thursday, April 17, at McGrath’s in Dalton and then at The Lounge of The Abingtons (formerly known as Summit Cigar, refreshed and now non-smoking) on Friday, April 18 in Clarks Summit.
