[ATTENDED: December 14, 2018] Slingshot Dakota
I was planning to see Slingshot Dakota back in the summer of 2016. They were doing a show with VoirVoir a Bethlehem band that I really like. But I wound up not being able to make that show. So I was happy to see them this year, right back in SteelStacks.
It was after they went onstage that Carly Comando told us that they were really excited to organize this entire show with ArtsQuest’s blessing. She picked the opening acts, Small Mess and Petal, personally, and she made sure that Lehigh Valley Girls Rock was a beneficiary. She even insisted that there be a food drive as well.
Lehigh Valley Girls Rock is dedicated to empowering girls and women + trans and nonbinary folks through music and art
We build self-confidence and foster a sense of belonging.
We nurture an inclusive, supportive environment.
We connect people who then develop meaningful friendships.
We inspire community involvement.
We teach acceptance.
They even had a special Lehigh Valley Girls Rock-related surprise at the end of their show. (more…)
