Defend Public Radio Winter Jam Brings Local Music Together for WDIY 88.1 FM (MUSIC VIDEOS)

Local music, local radio, and local support came together at the Defend Public Radio Winter Jam in Bethlehem.

The benefit show brought a strong crowd to the Ice House to support WDIY 88.1 FM, Lehigh Valley’s community-powered public radio station. The afternoon featured live sets from Dear Misty, Lovecartel, We’re From Antarctica, and Drew & The Blue, each bringing their own sound and energy to a lineup built around one shared goal: showing up for public radio.

Events like this are a reminder that WDIY exists because the community supports it. From local music discovery to independent voices and nonprofit programming, WDIY continues to be a vital part of the Lehigh Valley media landscape, and this show was a clear example of that support in action.

Check out some music from We’re From Antartica, Dear Mistay, and Lovecartel.

 

From Roi and the Secret People to the California Guitar Trio: Fall 2025 Live at Godfrey Daniels

Since 1976, Godfrey Daniels has stood at the heart of Bethlehem’s Southside as one of the country’s most respected live music listening rooms.

It’s the kind of space that has to be experienced to be understood; where the focus is on the music and the stories, not on cell phones or background noise.

The venue continues its legacy this fall with a lineup spanning folk, roots, Americana, blues, and more.

From international performers to local songwriters, every show invites intentional listening and offers a rare connection where artist and audience meet on equal ground.
