BETHLEHEM, PA\u2014Comic sensation Ryan Hamilton, country-Americana band Reckless Kelly, actor and former Saturday Night Live performer Fred Armisen and a special acoustic Eric Clapton tribute by Craig Thatcher Band are among 13 new shows coming to SteelStacks. Tickets for most performances go on sale April 30, 10 a.m. to ArtsQuest Members and May 3, 10 a.m. to the public at www.steelstacks.org<\/a> and 610-332-3378.<\/p>\n

Ryan Hamilton<\/strong> brings his clean, self-deprecating humor and delightful wit to the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 on Nov. 22, 8 p.m. Born and raised in Idaho, Hamilton has made a name for himself as one of New York\u2019s stand-up comedy favorites, even opening for Jerry Seinfeld and appearing on Conan and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He was also named one of Rolling Stone\u2019s Five Comics to Watch in 2012.<\/p>\n

Following a wealth of television appearances and a nonstop headlining tour, Hamilton\u2019s first stand-up special, the one-hour Netflix original Happy Face, was recently released. His endearing humor captivates fans of stand-up. Tickets for the show are $29-$34.<\/p>\n

With more than 3,000 shows and 1.5 million miles of travel behind them, the members of country-Americana band Reckless Kelly <\/strong>are coming to the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 on Sept. 12, 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Co-founders and brothers Cody and Willy Braun were raised on music. From a young age they toured the country as part of their father\u2019s band, Muzzie Braun and the Boys, and shared a stage with legends like Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell. As the Brauns grew up, they began to pave their own way in the music scene and, joining forces with drummer Jay Nazz, started producing contemporary country music in their own gritty, hard-edged and raw style. Guitarist David Abetya and bassist Joe Miller later joined the band, creating today\u2019s Reckless Kelly. Their music captures the essence of Americana, while the band\u2019s character is defined by charitable acts such as their annual Reckless Kelly Celebrity Softball Jam, which raises money for Austin, Texas-based youth charities. Tickets for the show are $22-$28.<\/p>\n

Actor, comedian, producer and musician Fred Armisen<\/strong> with special guest Mary Lynn Rajskub<\/strong> of 24 and It\u2019s Always Sunny In Philadelphia will take the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 stage on May 22, 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Best known as a Saturday Night Live cast member from 2002-\u201913, and as the co-creator and co-star of the IFC sketch comedy series Portlandia, Armisen also serves as the bandleader for Late Night with Seth Meyers. In this one-man show, Armisen mixes comedy and music in his patented hilarious, offbeat way. He will be joined by Rajskub, best known for playing \u2018Chloe.\u2019<\/p>\n
