This week we talk with trueWeather meteorologist and Content Project Coordinator, Mark Shanaberger.

Mark spent 15 plus years in television including more than a decade at the Lehigh Valley’s Channel 69 WFMZ. 

Mark and I met up at Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub in South Bethlehem to talk about how he initially got interested in weather and where it’s taken him. We talk about his time in television, how being a meteorologist can be a thankless job, and what continues to drive him in his new endeavors.

From technology to education to people complaining about weather forecasts, we go in pretty deep.

Thank you, Mark and the trueWeather Team!

Welcome to 2022, we’re looking forward to continuing to tell the stories of the Lehigh Valley and we think you’ll enjoy what we have in store. 

I’d like to welcome on former NFL running back with the Giants and Chargers, one of the best running backs in college football history at Boston College finishing his career 5th all time for most yards rushed in a single season with 2,177, Heisman finalist, Parkland High graduate, and now a local business owner with a really interesting concept: Andre Williams! 

Andre is the owner of AW Selvedge, a high end denim retailer located at the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley. 

We talk about how he continues to use the tenacity that made him successful in athletics, successful in his new endeavor. We also talk about why the Lehigh Valley and exactly what goes into choosing the best in quality denim, along with some of his other interests.

Eljuri, Ryan Tennis, and Argonaut & Wasp (LVwithLOVE Music)

In this episode of Lehigh Valley with Love Music, co-hosts George Wacker and Phil Reese speak with three musical artists who all played Musikfest this past summer.

We recently interviewed Eljuri, Ryan Tennis, and Argonaut & Wasp and combined them into one episode. You can also listen/watch their individual episodes at the links below.

Thank you to our sponsors, Michael Bernadyn with Re/Max Realty and Molly’s Irish Grille and Sports Pub!

Born in Guayaquil Ecuador and raised in New York City, Cecilia Villar Eljuri is a compulsive genre-fuser writing songs that mirror the experiences of her life. Touted as one of the top Latina guitar players in the world, she blends the sounds and rhythms she heard from her mother’s piano, her father’s vinyl records, her siblings’ CDs and from the clubs she frequented on Manhattan’s lower east side. WEBSITE / VIDEO EPISODE

Hailing from Philadelphia, America’s City of Brotherly Love, Ryan Tennis’ music is all about dismantling boundaries and bringing people together. Genre-defiant by nature and with diversity at its core, his rousing songs are infused with the rhythms from the many countries he’s visited during his extensive tours. While his performances are dynamic and danceable, Tennis’ voice and songs have a disarming sweetness that lowers your defenses and lets you breathe easy. WEBSITE / VIDEO EPISODE

Argonaut & Wasp was created with the goal of combining the vulnerability of a rock show with the energy of a house club. Formed in the dorms of the University of Vermont in 2013 the band started as a DJ / live show, playing packed basement parties to sold out festivals. In 2015, they packed their gear and moved to Brooklyn where they built a studio in Crown Heights. After releasing numerous singles and EP’s independently, they signed with +1 Records and are released their debut album, STARLIGHT 99 on April 30 2021. WEBSITE / VIDEO EPISODE

The Newtown Book and Record Exchange with Dirty Dollhouse

In this episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast my musical co-host Phil Reese and I travel to the Newtown Book and Record Exchange in Newtown, Pennsylvania to talk to singer songwriter, and shop owner, Chelsea Mitchell.

Chelsea is the founder of Dirty Dollhouse, a band that played this past Musikfest in Bethlehem and is made up of..

 

Chelsea Mitchell
Guitar / Lead Vocals

Eric Lawry
Drums / Percussion / Backing Vocals

August John Lutz II
Electric Guitar

Joshua Machiz
Bass

Atwood Magazine had this to say about Dirty Dollhouse…

“In all Dirty Dollhouse’s musical works, you can feel the homey Nashville vibe, wrapped like a warm blanket around your body. Her music is inspired by folk, country, and pop so as to create a brand new intimate genre of her own. She is often compared to artists like Nicole Atkins, Kacey Musgraves, and Brandi Carlile. Mitchell, who has got a very unique vocal range, considers herself a singer/songwriter; as her songs represent an autobiographical vibe, it almost feels like reading and flicking through someone else’s diary pages.”

We encourage you to watch the video portion of ths podcast, which you can find in the show notes, to see what the Newtown Book and Record Exchange looks like as we were balancing microphones before this interview.

Of course, thank you to our sponsors, Michael Bernadyn of Re Max Realty and MOlly’s Irish Grille and Sports Pub in Bethlehem.
