The Mauch Chunk Opera House, 14 W. Broadway in Jim Thorpe, will feature the Birdie Busch Band at 7:30 p.m. July 20. This free show is part of a free concert series which occurs once a month at the opera house.

Philadelphia-based singer and songwriter Birdie Busch has one of those voices that draws you in on the first phrase and breathes you out at the end of the song. Busch and her slightly funky, sometimes quirky, and always-relaxed backing band are as refreshing and new as live music can be today.Tickets are available by calling Soundcheck Records in Jim Thorpe at 570-325-4009 and 24/7 online at
