Ready to rock, and Dorothy delivered. The beautiful full moon lingering above Musikfest Caf\u00e9. The energy was beautiful and wild.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that is amazing about Musikfest Caf\u00e9 is the dinner and a show. They always have an exceptional dinner or if you just want a snack, they have a variety of stuff. They also have drinks available. (Always drive safe.) It was beautiful tonight. So many awesome people came out. It was people of all ages just coming together through music.<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy\u2019s opening acts included Jersey\u2019s own, Rahway. The lineup features: Nick Hade who just got married, Congratulations. David Cardenas on guitar, Chigger on bass, Steve Cardenas on drums. They have a gritty energy and they did a great job amping the crowd up for Eddie &amp; The Getaway, and Dorothy. They also had a merch table, and met with fans. They said they had a \u201cgreat time\u201d in Bethlehem, Pa.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie &amp; The Getaway came OUT SWINGING, full force. They performed a medley of songs, and then the drummer got up, and started playing guitar. They were back and forth all night, and interacting with the crowd. It was just INCREDIBLE. They truly made an impact tonight. Eddie is from Arizona, and it\u2019s definitely an kick you in your face sound. The type of music that gets you hyped up all day, and all night. They performed songs including: \u201csuperNOVOCAINE,\u201d \u201cSleep Alone,\u201d and then delivered some Goo Goo Dolls, because WHY NOT sing \u201cIris.\u201d Eddie is a singer, songwriter, producer, and artist. Christian \u201cChamp\u201d Champion plays the drums.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie &amp; The Getaway was awesome. My friend Roxann loved the energy they brought. Musikfest Caf\u00e9 and the fans were HYPED, ready to go!!! The infamous beginning to \u201cDown to the Bottom\u201d started, if you don\u2019t know the song, GO LISTEN TO IT!!! NOW!!! DO IT! Or you can watch <em>Lucifer <\/em>and catch the song there.<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy\u2019s band includes: Guitarist Sam Bam Koltum, Jake Hayden, and bassist Eliot Lorango. SAM WAS HEADBANGING RIGHT ALONG WITH ALL OF US!!! We appreciate you. Dorothy (band) was formed in 2014 with a self-titled EP. Her music is a mix of stories, Rock-N-Roll, great darkness, grimy with GRIT. Songs like: \u201cAfter Midnight,\u201d \u201cWicked Ones,\u201d \u201cWild Fire,\u201d \u201cRaise Hell,\u201d \u201cMUD,\u201d \u201cFlawless,\u201d and so many more. She is beyond talented.<\/p>\n<p>She ROCKED Musikfest Caf\u00e9, and let\u2019s hope she comes back, and does it again. If it\u2019s not me doing it, somebody has to \u201cRaise Hell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thank you as always to Musikfest Caf\u00e9, all the VOLUNTEERS, the Bethlehem Police, the staff, The Valley Ledger, Jennifer, and everyone. Thank you so much for everything you all do. What a show.
