Girls Nite Out Comedy

Chris Rich, a comedienne from Philadelphia, was the recent Big Winner in the Bud Light "Ladies of Laughter" Comedy Contest in Atlantic City, judged by an ABC casting director and a producer from the Rosie O'Donnell show. Years of stage experience were the foundation for Chris' real goal: standup comedy.

EARTH DAY CONCERT featuring

Natural Breakdown with special guest Cabinet

listen : website : video

Jim Thorpe celebrates it's annual Earth Day Festival with many environmentally-based attractions and musical events. The main event will featuring two great bands coming together for a remarkable evening of roots and jam music.

Headliner NATURAL BREAKDOWN: "Our goal is to raise consciousness through sound and word. To bring crowds to intense peaks, through a winding river of sound. Like nature breaks down rock over thousands of years, and how everything can be broken down to its base component, light: Natural Breakdown is a hopeful outlook and a call for change."

Cabinet's country and bluegrass roots shine through in their musical madness; "Home Now", "Mickey's Wink", "The Tower", and "Eleanor" are a few favorites among a growing catalog. Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel" is one cover that the group covers regularly for the wanting ears of its audiences (vocal harmonies among all group members radiate best in this tune). But their set lists are wholly original collaborations.

Bill Miller

listen : website : video

Two-time Grammy winner Bill Miller's music is artfully eclectic, in large part influenced by the traditional Native American songs he learned in his youth, but equally influenced by Dylan, Hendrix, Roy Orbison, and Pete Seeger. At times, it is even Beatlesque.
