Main & Grove Street Stage
We are bringing them back to rock the City to its roots!
Velveeta will continue to spread the cheese again this year on Main Street with 80’s & 90’s hits. One of the most popular Central PA party bands, Velveeta will rock downtown with covers from Journey, the Cars, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran, Neil Diamond, Guns ‘N Roses, Tom Petty, U2 plus many many more. Last year was the first time for the Block Party and it was truly an awesome atmosphere with people of all ages singing and dancing from the opening song to the encore performance.
One of area’s most popular ‘high energy’ bands, Velveeta was formed in the summer of 1995 with a tongue in cheek approach to the finest in cheesy 80's music. Over the decades, Velveeta has honed their skills into one of the most entertaining and talented cover bands in the Northeast specializing in music from the golden age of MTV and music videos.
Although they consider themselves entertainers instead of artists, their exceptional musical talents cannot be denied. Through the years, the band has expanded its repertoire, but the majority of their set-list is still music from the 1980s; from Cyndi Lauper and Billy Idol to Duran Duran and the B-52s, from Journey and the CARS to Joan Jett and Guns N’ Roses. Velveeta has performed at Steelers games at Heinz Field along with the pre-game festivities outside Beaver Stadium and Penn State’s THON.
Band Members include Brent Martin on Keys, Guitar and Vocals, John ‘Bones’ Harper on Drums & Vocals, Brian Kriley on Guitar & Vocals and Adam Becker Bass Guitar and Vocals.
