Musikfest 2022 - "Must See" Bands and Best Day of the Fest with Patrick Brogan

Musikfest is the pinnacle of the year for live music lovers anywhere near the Lehigh Valley.  With 427 bands this year set to shred the platz's we needed the assistance of the man behind it all - Patrick Brogan, Chief Programming Officer at ArtsQuest.

We decided to first highlight the "Returning Favorites", those bands that have been on the show previously that are obvious "must see" acts.  Then we each selected 7 bands that were at the top of our list and compared them.  Where there were overlaps, we focused there.  We also shared our thoughts about which day is "Best of the Fest" should someone only have the ability to partake in one day of festing.

Returning Favorites:  @TIOGA The Band  @Eljuri  @Blair Crimmins and The Hookers  @We Banjo 3  @Jon Worthy  @Argonaut & Wasp  @Pepperwine  Whitehall  @Carver Commodore  @thegroovemerchantsband  @Ryan Tennis 

Must See Bands
On all 3 lists: @JJGreyMusic
On 2 lists: @RDGLDGRN  @Kat Wright  @The Beaches

Patrick: @HAPPY LANDING  @The Funkitorium  @DRIVE DRIVE @shamarrallenmusic 

Phillip: @LowDown Brass Band  @Jeffrey Gaines Music
