Penn's Peak

Often one way to tell if a relatively new singer is good is by the company he keeps.

Country singer Easton Corbin is certainly keeping very impressive company. Last year he toured with Brad Paisley. This year he's been on the road with Blake Shelton. He has shows scheduled with Rascal Flatts.

Next Thursday night, June 2, Corbin will show off his talents locally during a concert starting at 8 p.m. at Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe. This is Corbin's debut at the Peak.

Opening for him is Joanna Smith. Tickets are just $20 in advance and $25 the night of the concert.

Gary Allan's secret to success is just being himself. Nothing fancy. Very little chit-chat.

The country singing maverick was at Penn's Peak Friday night and attracted a sell-out crowd.

He delivered a 22-song set that kept the audience captive for well over an hour-and-a-half.

There was a light moment late in the show when his English sheepdog sprinted from behind the curtain to his side. After Allan petted him, the well-mannered dog turned around, climbed a set of stairs to a small balcony, and then laid down as if to listen to the remainder of the concert.

Country music singer Gary Allan will be performing at 8 p.m. Friday at Penn's Peak. Officials at Penn's Peak say only a limited number of tickets remain for this concert. The visit to Penn's Peak is part of Allan's "Get Off The Pain" tour, in promotion of his eighth studio album. The performer's hits include "Nothing On But the Radio," "Tough Little Boys," and "Life Aint Always Beautiful."

"We are home," proclaimed Paul Sinclair, the lead vocalist for Get The Led Out, during their triumphant return visit to Penn's Peak on Friday night.

The Philadelphia based band credits Penn's Peak as where it all started for them. After a successful and exciting debut at the venue seven years ago, they are always welcomed back by a large and passionate audience.

From the opening song "Immigrant Song", famous for the wailing cry during the beginning of the song, to the closing song "Whole Lotta Love", the energy was undeniable.
