Open Sound Lansdowne

Come see live music at Arts on the Avenue on Sunday, May 17! Free to attend.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be posting every Tuesday and Thursday about bands you’ll be able to catch at the fest alongside 70+ local artists tabling with their work, food trucks, a beer garden and lots of kids activities. It’ll be a bustling day in Lansdowne.

Playing at noon is Paul Harrold and the Nuclear Bandits.

Paul Harrold and the Nuclear Bandits are
Country Western rock n’ roll from Outer Space

You might’ve seen them in the past at a regular Open Sound night. They don’t have a social media presence at the moment so just come check them out at the show!

We’re excited to have had the chance to curate the music for Arts on the Avenue this year! Hope you can make it out to the festival to see these great bands and check out 70+ art vendors who will be taking over Lansdowne for the day.

Open up your plans and damn you’re free!

We’re sorry to announce that tomorrow night’s Open Sound (Thurs, 9/25) is canceled due to the forecasted weather. We are very sad to have to cancel the last night of the series, but the weather didn’t play in our favor this year!

Unfortunately you will be missing
Flat Mary Road, Skeeter Bobb and Zoe Lemon. Please check them out!

The musicians for Open Sound always donate their time generously. If you like what you hear, give them a follow, buy an album, go to a gig! ❤️

Flat Mary Road
Flat Mary Road has been playing in Philadelphia since the oughts. They’ve been writing original pop rock inspired by college radio of the late 80s and early 90s, with songs about heartbreak, friendship, America, and quite a few tunes about car travel.

Skeeter Bobb
Skeeter Bobb has its roots right here in Lansdowne. The seed was planted at a ukulele class and has blossomed into a duo that performs interpretations of classic hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

Zoe Lemon
Zoe (rhymes with toe!) is a violinist, songwriter, and self-proclaimed terrible cook. Her music is introspective, full of layered strings, delicate drums, and warm vocals.
She recently released an EP titled A Coin in the Mouth of a Fish in June—a collection written during a season when she felt like she wasn’t quite measuring up.
Though based in Philadelphia, Zoe recorded the EP in Nashville. Her debut EP, Tailspin, was featured on WXPN, WKDU, and NPR. She just got back from an east coast tour on Sunday!
