Slingshot Dakota, the duo with no shortage of volume, energy and catchy tunes, burst onto the indie pop-rock scene more than 10 years ago and continues to grow its fan base through cross-country tours and features in national publications including pop-culture blog The A.V. Club. The party will celebrate the band’s new album, Break, which is available for pre-order now on topshelfrecords.com. A dollar from every pre-order of the album will be donated to Third St. Alliance for Women and Children.

Cunningham & Associates is a high-energy, six-piece band covering the best of blues, rock and soul. On March 16, 8 p.m., in the Musikfest Café, Don Cunningham, former Mayor of Bethlehem and current President & CEO of Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp., and his band will present a night of nonstop hits from two iconic artists – Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones. With more than 30 years of collective experience playing in the Lehigh Valley music scene, these music veterans are favorites at venues and events throughout the region including Musikfest and the Lehigh Valley Christmas Concerts.

Lehigh Valley Music Award-winning artist Scott Marshall & Marshall’s Highway are decorated musicians playing whiskey-soaked Americana with something for everyone. Marshall’s music earned “Best Original Song” honors at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards in 2011 for “With Every New Day I Believe” and in 2013 for “Letters and Prayers.” You can see this dynamic group March 23, 7:30 p.m., at the Musikfest Cafe.
