Like A Breath of Fresh Air...

There's nowhere better than Everybody's Hometown for a refreshing arts celebration. This month, businesses in downtown Media celebrate National Poetry Month, showcase local artists, and invite you to sing along with live music of many different styles.

Main Event

Adam Monaco Band
The Adam Monaco Band

Delaware County Institute of Science

7:00-7:40 pm

The Adam Monaco Band takes the stage as this month's Main Event, playing a free concert at the Delaware County Institute of Science at 7pm. Based out of Philadelphia, the Adam Monaco Band fuses many different styles and influences to expand the horizons of traditional singer/songwriter music. They have engaged audiences regionally with frequent performances at Philadelphia venues including the North Star Bar and the TLA, and have shared the stage with national touring acts including the Bacon Brothers, Blondie, and the Alarm. They recently completed their newest album titled "The Woolgathering" which will be released this fall. Attendees of all ages will enjoy this upbeat, lyrical blend of folk rock.
