Not going to lie: I definitely decided on Pennsylvania purely for the chance to make a mix with Halestorm and Hop Along. Enjoy!

 

Halestorm – Familiar Taste Of Poison

This Grammy winning band hails from Red Lion, PA. They are spectacular live, I cannot express that enough.

 

Billie Holiday – All Of Me

The legendary Holiday was born in Philly.

 

Sam Tsui & Kurt Hugo Schneider – Roses

Cover songs ahoy! Tsui and Schneider were neighbors in Blue Bell, PA. How serendipitous.

 

The Roots – The Seed 2.0

Everyone knows The Roots. Not only have they released ten full albums, but they’ve been the house band of both Late Night and more recently of The Tonight Show.

 

Boyz II Men – Motownphilly

You knew this was coming.

 

Innerpartysystem – Not Getting Any Better

Womp. These guys have been on an indefinite hiatus since 2011.

 

P!nk – What About Us

…What about all the broken happy ever afters?…

 

Patti LaBelle – If You Asked Me To

No PA mix could be complete without The Godmother of Soul.

June Divided – Secrets

a college music project + craigslist drummer search + economic recession = June Divided

 

The Bloodhound Gang – Pennsylvania

I thought about quoting this song for the title, but then remembered the Heart song so…

 

Breaking Benjamin – Diary Of Jane

 

Hop Along – Powerful Man

Stevie introduced me their music. He wrote a review here, too.

 

 

The Starting Line – Island

More talent out of Philly.

 

Az Yet – Through My Heart

 

Hall & Oates – Private Eyes

So much more than just Maneater; last year, these gents received a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
