The headline on PennLive may have said all yesterday – "How Harrisburg became the place to see the coolest bands you never heard of."

Harrisburg and Central Pennsylvania overall has become a hotbed for venues for live music acts. Maybe not the huge stadium show, although Hershey host those, but the places that can seat 1,500 people or less. And the bands may not be the most well known on radio, but have national followings.

Harrisburg University of Science and Technology has been instrumental in bringing many of the acts to the region.

We were joined on The Spark Thursday by Dr. Eric Darr, Harrisburg University’s president and Frank Scofield, director of live entertainment and media services for Harrisburg University.
