Two Rocks Rye – “Ring the Bell”

Author Brent Porche

Time to spin another tune from MMR’s Local Shots Artist of the Month! It’s Brent Porche here, and this month’s featured band is Two Rocks Rye from the Doylestown area.

You have Benjamin, you have Matt, you got Brian and Brendan. You can learn more about them on their band page: extra songs, links to their socials and more. It’s all there, plus a bunch of other talented artists from right here in this area for you to check out at Local Shots HQ.

If you want to catch them live, they’ll be at PJ Whelihan’s in Bluebell, PA next Friday June 28th, and then at the Lake Naomi Club in Pocono Pines next Saturday June 29th.

This week’s tune from Two Rocks Rye is off of their new third studio album titled Back to Shine, which is out now. It’s time to “Ring The Bell”! Let us know what you think of the song on Instagram and Facebook.

PHOTOS: Dead and Company Dazzle at the Sphere in Las Vegas

Dead and Company are in the middle of a residency at the brand new $2.3 billion dollar sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. Brent Porche of WMMR Philadelphia got to witness this immersive experience firsthand. It was a wild ride, and you can see his photos below. Check out some spectacular videos here.

Currently, Dead and Company consists of original Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann. Alongside them on stage are John Mayer, Jeff Chimenti, Oteil Burbridge, and Jay Lane.

How big is the Sphere in Las Vegas?

The Sphere is the largest spherical structure in the world. That would be impressive on its own, standing at 366 feet high and 516 feet across. The outside is fitted with over a million LED lights to project dynamic images that outshine most of the neon in Vegas. On the inside, there’s a 160,000-square-foot wraparound screen that reaches above and around the viewer, creating an intense and colorful show.

Who’s performed there so far, and who’s set to play next?

Before Dead & Co’s Dead Forever residency, which runs through August 10th, Phish put on a trippy show at the Vegas venue. U2 broke ground with their run of shows there, celebrating their Achtung Baby album in vivid splendor.

Next up at the Sphere is a residency with the Eagles (the band, not the NFL team – although we’d love to see a Super Bowl in a place like this!). The group just announced that they will perform there in September and October of 2024, and tickets go on sale this Friday (6/21).
