The holidays are behind us and it’s back to business this stellar spring weekend! And by business, I mean excellent local entertainment from a myriad of talented performers all across Northeastern Pennsylvania from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to the Poconos.
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
Cover Photo of the Week: Scranton metalcore giants, Traverse The Abyss celebrate the release of their Memento Mori EP at The Ritz Theater in Scranton on Friday, April 25. Since making their debut in 2016, this group has seen a meteoric rise, playing shows and festivals across the country and wowing audiences with high-fire performances wherever they go. The impending drop of Memento Mori is yet another milestone in this local band’s ever-growing list of accolades, so don’t miss their hometown show!
