I arrived at ArtQuest tonight, and walked from the parking lot as I have done so many times over the years. I looked at all the Christmas decorations. Thought about the video Actor\/Director Daniel Roebuck just posted as Santa inside the beautiful present that sits outside of Christkindlmarkt Bethlehem. Daniel was promoting his film, Saint Nick of Bethlehem (2024). The movie filmed throughout the Lehigh Valley. He talked about Bethlehem, and the importance of keeping people together.<\/p>\n<p>I hear ya, some of you are thinking, what does this have to do with Bumpin Uglies, and a concert. Well, Bumpin Uglies, Tunnel Vision, and Joey Harkum felt that energy tonight. That beautiful intense energy that brings people together.<\/p>\n<p>Joey Harkum opened the show with his beautiful acoustic guitar. The crowd was STOKED, so happy, and just genuinely fused together. Like a chef creating a beautiful meal, Joey brought several musicians out from Bumpin Uglies, and Tunnel Vision. Brandon Hardestry joked about Joey\u2019s band collection, and how he has made an amazing band over the years. Listening to \u201cWithout You In My Way,\u201d \u201cHold On,\u201d which Brandon came out, and sang with Joey. It was BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. My heart just smiled. Musikfest Caf\u00e9 served as more than just a venue tonight\u2026 There was a birthday, Happy Birthday to Liz. Several families, and people who were able to visit Musikfest Caf\u00e9 for the first time, and genuine happy fans who were just completely thrilled to see the bands they love.<\/p>\n<p>Joey Harkum could sing anything. He could sit and sing recipes, or whatever he would pick to sing. It would be an experience.<\/p>\n<p>Tunnel Vision came out next, and just brought an equally exuberant vibe. Tunnel Vision is: Hayden Hanson, Jacob Hernandez, Tanner Payan, Matt Risley, and Doug Alani. The crowd was involved, and it was just a beautiful night. Tunnel Vision performed everything from: \u201cHop in the Van,\u201d \u201cCitrus Skies,\u201d \u201cMess,\u201d and \u201cStacy\u2019s Song.\u201d (Because doesn\u2019t anyone wonder where Stacy went? They wrote the song because of the song, \u201cStacy\u2019s Mom.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Go and see Tunnel Vision, and Joey Harkum, and Bumpin Uglies.<\/p>\n<p>Bumpin Uglies came out, and performed everything from, \u201cNo Love,\u201d \u201cUnderdog,\u201d \u201cStop the Fall,\u201d \u201cToo Stoned,\u201d \u201cCrazy,\u201d \u201cFood Chain,\u201d they covered Radiohead\u2019s \u201cCreep,\u201d my soul floated away. The immaculate feeling of just joy and how healing music is. Brandon is so right about that, music is healing. It felt good to hear, \u201cBad Decisions,\u201d and \u201cToo Stoned.\u201d They interreacted with the crowd, and had so much fun. Brandon asked Tunnel Vision to come back up, and Joey Harkum. Bumpin Uglies is: Brandon Hardestry, Dave Wolf, T.J. Haslett, Will Lopez, and Ethan Lee Litchenberger.<\/p>\n<p>I love Musifest Caf\u00e9, and the volunteers, the staff. Every single person works so hard, and is so helpful. It is a grateful feeling to talk to everyone, and I am glad my friend Jeanne came along. She has such an appreciation for music.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for these lyrics\u2026 I will be standing on that mountain with Brandon because, music is healing. Music is beyond universal. It makes you think, gives you hope, delivers memories, and heart. Go see Bumpin Uglies, Tunnel Vision, and Joey Harkum.<\/p>\n<p>So, thank you for this, \u201cI won\u2019t ever be the sure thing<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m content being the pure thing<\/p>\n<p>With my heart on my sleeve, while I sing like I breath<\/p>\n<p>fighting for what I deserve\u201d \u201cUnderdog\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelstacks.org\/about\/venues-at-steelstacks\/musikfest-cafe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/www.steelstacks.org\/about\/venues-at-steelstacks\/musikfest-cafe\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumpinugliesmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/www.bumpinugliesmusic.com\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeyharkum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/www.joeyharkum.com\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tunnelvisionsc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/www.tunnelvisionsc.com\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review by Janel Spiegel Bumpin Uglies \u2013 Lyrics Over Everything Tour 2024 Joey Harkum Tunnel Vision Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 7:30PM Musikfest Caf\u00e9 101 Founders Way Bethlehem, PA 18015 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?p=137657\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bumpin Uglies \u2013 Lyrics Over Everything Tour 2024 | Review by Janel Spiegel<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137652,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1024,69,2575],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-in-the-valley","category-janel-spiegel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bumpin-uglies-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137657"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=137657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/137652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=137657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=137657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
