Penn's Peak

Guitarist Bobby Ingram and vocalist Phil McCormack of Molly Hatchet perform at Penn's Peak during a past show.

On his latest album, What Lies Beneath, Robin Trower takes a different direction by handling the vocals himself.

At Penn's Peak Saturday night, Trower continued to let his guitar do the talking.

Trower delighted a crowd of 1,200 at The Peak with a setlist full of his best known material from his 1970's commercial zenith.

This was the second appearance in Jim Thorpe for the 64 year-old British guitarist, and Trower Power was in full flower.

A fire prevention program will be staged from 6-9 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, at Penn's Peak and Roadie's Restaurant, which is located at the venue.

Layne "Doc" Roberts, of Penn's Peak Radio, said the radio station is sponoring the event in conjunction with Fire Prevention Month.

Local fire companies will be on hand with fire prevention information, he said.

The fire departments will also have fire trucks on display, and Smokey Bear will be making an appearance.

Roberts said, "It's sure to be a fun night out for the whole family - don't forget to bring the camera!"

Bret Michaels, shown here with Poison at Musikfest in Bethlehem in August, 2008, will be performing a solo concert at Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe this Sunday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. Michaels rose to rock and roll fame as a member of Poison in the 1980's with such hits as "Talk Dirty to Me" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". Michaels continues to tour with Poison but also records and performs solo material. He has also written anautobiography, Roses and Thorns, soon to be available.
