6:30 Ona - Ona, West Virginia is a small sliver of unincorporated ridges, creeks, and floodplains stretching from Route 60 up almost to the Ohio River. Ona makes songs that take place in these spaces. Bradley Jenkins and Zack Owens write about longing, resentment, searching, and waiting. Zach Johnston, Max Nolte, and P.J. Woodard back them with music that pulses, buzzes, echoes, and rolls.

9:00 Dar Williams - Every new album from Dar Williams represents her thoughts and feelings about both her own life and larger forces in the world. But her ninth studio record, Emerald, marks a particularly dramatic confluence between her experiences and broader contemporary culture—and what it means to be a songwriter at this moment in history.


The SouthSide Arts & Music Festival features two days filled with visual arts experiences, live music and family programming, all designed to encourage guests to visit South Bethlehem’s shops, restaurants and arts venues. By purchasing a wristband to the festival, attendees enjoy access to 10-plus musical acts each night at Godfrey Daniels, National Museum of Industrial History, Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts, Banana Factory Arts Center and the ArtsQuest Center’s Musikfest Café at SteelStacks. This year, ArtsQuest is also partnering with Lehigh Valley Underground to offer five free performances each night at other SouthSide venues such as Color Me Mine, Domaci, Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub and Sotto Santi, pushing the total number of musical acts at the festival to more than 30 in all.
