The first-ever Grimm Hellride for Life will take place on Saturday, August 9, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. The event will feature a nearly 100-mile motorcycle ride departing from and returning to the Anchor Inn near Prince Gallitzin State Park, with a meal and multi-band concert following the ride. The ride cost will be $15 per bike and $5 per passenger. Those not riding will be able to enjoy the meal and the concert separately, for $5 for the for the concert or $10 for the meal cover. More details regarding the bands involved and other information will be forthcoming.
A new Altoona-based rock band has risen from the ashes of the former Decision Day. The group’s current working name is Moxie, and features former Decision Day members Ryan Dibert on lead vocals and J.D. Heverly on drums, along with Phil Wagner and Spencer Peterman on guitars, and Bill Fischer on bass. The new band made their debut last weekend at an outdoor private party in the Altoona area.
State College folk and country rockers The Rustlanders have hit the road, embarking on a series of show dates with nationally-acclaimed Americana performer Ryan Bingham, who was recently featured in Rolling Stone Magazine. The Rustlanders’ first show with Bingham is happening tonight in Albany, New York, and the group will also play with Bingham at shows in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Louisville and more. The Rustlanders have also lined up some show dates this coming fall with Pittsburgh’s Rusted Root. The Rustlanders will be one of many bands performing at next month’s Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts in downtown State College.
