Artist info:
Laila Mack
– At just 21 years old, Laila is a powerhouse singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer whose sound blends country, alternative rock, and hip hop into something completely her own. Her authentic energy and genre-crossing style are going to light up the stage.
Hamburg’s own Jazz/Punk powerhouse is hitting the stage! Threat Michaels formed in 2024 by members of inactive bands and quickly carved out their own lane — blending punk rock with experimental energy and dubbing their sound “Jazz Punk.”
All four members have been staples in the local music scene for years, bringing their experience and shared influences together to create something raw, fun, and meaningful.
🚨 Get ready for Leadpetal — an alt rock powerhouse straight out of the Lehigh Valley, PA.
Blending punk grit, heavy metal punch, and grunge attitude, Leadpetal has been turning heads since winning Lehigh Valley Girls Rock’s 2023 Band Factory. Since then, they’ve been hitting stages and touring hard.
Their debut album Glass Teeth dropped in April 2025, and they’re best known for their absolutely high-energy live shows.
We’re excited to welcome Stacy Gabel, an accomplished performer, recording artist, and award-winning singer-songwriter based between Lehigh Valley, PA and Tampa, FL! 🌟
Stacy has been steadily releasing new music and touring along the East Coast, with recent performances in Nashville, Los Angeles, and the Tampa Bay area. She’s also maintained a national presence through interviews and TV appearances, most recently promoting her album and single “Great Escape” during her Great Escape Tour. Her 5-track EP features songs she wrote herself, paired with music videos that showcase her personality and impressive musical talent. 🎤🎸
Beyond the stage, Stacy brings a wealth of experience. She holds a degree in Television Production and is a graduate of AMDA (The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC). She’s worked as a TV promo producer and writer for Nickelodeon/MTV Networks and is a proud member of SAG/AFTRA. You may have even seen her on screen with appearances in shows like “Charmed” and “General Hospital”, as well as in several national commercials.
A true fan favorite, Stacy has earned numerous honors including two Global Music Awards and multiple wins at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards—such as Fan’s Choice, Outstanding Female Artist, Outstanding All-Around Performer, and Best Song. She was also named Best Local Musician by Lehigh Valley Style Magazine. 🏆
From festivals and wineries to theaters, resorts, and sporting events, Stacy brings her passion for performing everywhere she goes. With tours like the Hot Air Balloon Tour (2022), the “Straight to Voicemail” EP release, and the Great Escape Tour (2023), she continues to connect with audiences across the country. @stacygabelmusic
Mighty Joe Castro and the Gravemen are a Modern rockabilly americana from Philly. Sounds like Buddy Holly, if he’d had access to a stack of effect pedals and some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Records” Formed in 2017, their goal is to play original rock-in-roll, in the style of the pioneers, but update it lyrically and sonically. “Philly-based singer-songwriter Mighty Joe Castro would fit right in at the Twin Peaks roadhouse. His retro-rock stylings channel the uneasy underbelly of 1950s American life; think equal parts film noir and Chris Isaak’s “Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing,” a vibe that perfectly coalesces in his new music video for “There Are No Secrets Here.” – John Vettese, WXPN’s The Key.
From the mind of Mark Stiehl, Total Quality Institute originally formed as a duo in Kutztown, PA. The lineup quickly filled out and their unique sound grew. While TQI draws comparisons to bands from the post-punk and no-wave genres, they bring a modern sound and feel to the mix. With big beats and angular guitars, Total Quality Institute is sure to keep you moving. In 2024 TQI welcomed back founding member, Andrew Macfarlane to the band.
TQI is:
Mark Stiehl on Lead Vocals & Guitar
Dave Keller on Guitar & Vocals
Andrew Amey on Drums
Andy Januszak on Bass.
Andrew MacFarlane on Synth, Trumpet & Vocals

Hamburg Music Fest is proud to welcome Anthrophobia — a band that has been unleashing their powerful fusion of rock, punk, and metal for over four decades. Now in their 41st year, Anthrophobia continue to prove why they’ve built a loyal, multi-generational cult following.
Their newest album Going Out Swinging (2025), along with Altered States (2020), Grind (2017), and Rewired (2016), showcases some of the band’s most exciting work yet. Known for their electrifying live performances, Anthrophobia have built a reputation as a consistently powerful band that delivers unforgettable shows wherever they play.
Over the years they’ve shared stages with legendary acts including Ramones, Bad Brains, Deftones, Godsmack, Sevendust, Clutch, CKY, and Local H, and even appeared on the 1998 Vans Warped Tour. Their music has also reached a massive audience, appearing in over 100 television shows.
The band was inducted into the Berks County Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 and has earned numerous awards, including Best Rock Band at the Central Pennsylvania Awards and Best Metal Band at the Delaware Valley Music Poll Awards. Most recently, they were nominated for Best Hard Rock Band at the 2026 Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame Awards. 🏆
With 5 EPs, 6 full-length albums, vinyl singles, and decades of touring, Anthrophobia continue pushing forward while honoring their legacy. Fans can also look forward to a new EP coming Fall 2026 and a 10-Year Anniversary vinyl reissue of Rewired with bonus tracks and a full concert film.

As a spiritual descendent of iconic women in rock such as Patti Smith and Joan Jett, ZouZou’s Philadelphia-based band also embodies elements of kindred spirits of the ’90s and beyond – like PJ Harvey and The Kills, with more than a sprinkling of ’60s Garage Rock and Soul. Their primal sonic attack spreads a message of perseverance through trials of love, loss and letting go.
ZouZou says: I’m very proud of our history with the songwriters and artists we’ve worked with coming up these past years, including Steven Van Zandt, Jon Bon Jovi, and touring with Joan Jett. I’m also proud of our live show being named one of the best of the year by Rolling Stone’s David Frticke — although now it’s a bit ago–it’s still something I pride us on today.
Still, one of the greatest quotes I’d love to use in the announcement is the Joan Jett quote: “Soraia is an extraordinary, exciting, and sure to make waves band who I love and admire.” She sums it all up so well:) And she’s my hero.
