In Local Music News…
As you may have recently heard, Harrisburg-based national recording group Fuel offered their lead singer opening to former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry. After mulling the offer over, Daughtry has given his answer to Fuel, and he has turned down their offer. So Fuel continues to look for their replacement for Brett Scallions, who left the group earlier this year.
Some good news for area roots rockers The Marauders. The group has announced that none other than Brian Setzer has written a special song for them. The Marauders will record the song, called “We Are The Marauders,” for their upcoming new album, which should be available in late summer or early fall.
The Blair County Community Action Agency is again presenting their Summer Concert Series at downtown Altoona’s Heritage Plaza. The free weekly Wednesday concerts begin this Wednesday evening with the Prime Time Band, and start at 7 PM. The Marauders will perform on June 21, and The Silencers will entertain on June 28, along with an “Open Mic” talent night that same evening. Other events the Blair County Community Action Agency will be presenting include “Picnic In the Plaza” with the band Big Mac ‘n Fries on Monday, July 3; the annual “Celebration Of Neighborhoods” on Sunday, August 13; and the annual “Unity Day” on Monday, September 11. Admission to all of these events is free, and the public is invited to attend.
