LOCK HAVEN, PA (07/16/2024) — Commonwealth University-Lock Haven will present "Rockin' The Haven" to kick off the LH Jams Festival on Thursday, Aug. 8 with U2 tribute band Unforgettable Fire and The Uptown Music Collective (UMC) at the Price Performance Center.
Doors will open at 5 p.m., UMC will perform from 6-7 p.m. and Unforgettable Fire from 7:30-10 p.m.
The UMC provides music education with programs that engage students age 3 and up. They offer both private and group lessons, classes and workshops. UMC student bands have played concerts throughout Central Pennsylvania and as far away as Austin, Texas, and will feature a selection of Irish and classic rock tunes.
Unforgettable Fire, or "UF," was born on New Year's Day in 1995 as one of the very first U2 tribute bands to ever perform in America. After 25 years of performing at the most prestigious venues throughout the East Coast and beyond, UF have formed the reputation of being the preeminent U2 Tribute Show in North America.
The band strives to present a truly authentic U2 experience, both sonically and visually. In addition to performing an array of U2 material from pre- "Boy" to the most recent "Songs of Experience," the band does everything in their power - from wardrobe to lighting - to create the live U2 concert setting for their audience.
In 2015, U2 members The Edge and Adam Clayton, crashed Unforgettable Fire's show at The Cutting Room in New York City and joined UF onstage for a surprise performance of "Out Of Control" and "Where The Streets Have No Name." Press from around the world, including Rolling Stone Magazine reported on the performance.
