This week’s post contains photos and videos from three fantastic events: Cake on the Riverfront, Alison Hanna’s Campfire Song Series, and the 8th Annual Independence Day Block Party.
While much has been said about Cake and the Block Party, I wanted to take a minute to shine a light on Alison Hanna’s series.
Every Monday this summer, you can catch Alison Hannah hosting an evening of local music at Friendly Valley. She brings together a rotating lineup of talented singer-songwriters who share the stage in a round-robin format, trading songs and stories in an intimate, laid-back setting. It’s the perfect way to unwind, enjoy a drink, and discover some of the amazing acoustic talent we have right here in our community. With a mix of genres and a friendly, collaborative vibe, it’s always a good time. These photos and videos are from my first one, but I definitely hope to catch a few more before summer wraps up!
I ran out of time to edit videos from last weekend, so check our YouTube channel next week to see more there!
Here is the update on my $40,000 goal - After nearly 8 weeks, we are at $8642!
This last couple of weeks I launched the website for Devin C Williams and continued handling social media for a few artists. (If you’re interested in what that might look like for you or your band, please reach out! )
I also underwent some dental surgery, which slowed me down a bit - but I’ll be back to full steam ahead by Monday. In fact, you can come hear me speak at Distillery Labs “Fail Club” on Wednesday! (See photo below)
Thanks to everyone who has continued their support or who has stepped up to support PML and HP this last month! To learn more about this goal, you can click here to check out this blog post from May!

You can download a video, but you can’t download a live music experience
