HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The state and national Republican parties are suing anew in Pennsylvania in an effort to block some mail-in ballots — those lacking the voter’s handwritten date on the outside envelope — from being counted in the November election. The GOP’s filing late Sunday night went straight to the state Supreme Court, with barely three weeks before Election Day when Pennsylvania’s voters will elect a new governor and U.S. senator. The court doesn’t have to take the lawsuit. The legal fight has already reached both the U.S. Supreme Court and state Supreme Court, producing conflicting conclusions on narrower issues in different courts. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration has told counties to count the ballots.
“To come out to an actual live performance, I think, just does so much for that ambition to want to further your studies and interest in the instrument or your art.” -John Parrendo

“We’ve had jazz, Latin, country-rock…all different varieties of things,” spoke Eric DeFade about the BlackBox Theater. “It’s an amazing venue that can be converted from regular concert seating to a venue with tables and a bar in the back…kind of like an instant pop-up nightclub.”
DeFade joined Parrendo to discuss “Fiddle In The Box” on the October 17 edition of A.M. Beaver County; a show that Parrendo describes as a show with much variety. “This Thursday, you’re going to hear a little bit of everything,” he stated. “Pop, rock, country, jazz, instrumental…it’s not just going to be fiddle, but violin and some of the music I’ve played over the years including music from some of the artists that have inspired me over the years that I’ve been playing.” Parrendo hinted at the songs spanning “from Frank Sinatra to Dave Matthews” and hinted that there may be a Charlie Daniels song or two scattered into the evening’s repertoire.
Tickets for “Fiddle In The Box” are still available for Thursday’s show. Click the logo to the left for a link to the tickets page, or you can call the Lincoln Park box office at (724) 576-4644 for this and all other shows this season at Lincoln Park.
