Comment on Facebook

The Mauch Chunk Opera House was built in 1881 by the the affluent citizens of old Mauch Chunk (now Jim Thorpe). To continue with their original vision, the Mauch Chunk Historical Society is committed to the ongoing preservation of this jewel. With new leadership and dedication it is the promise of the Mauch Chunk Historical Society to see this fine Opera House serve the people once again with concerts, cultural events, theater, dance, and film.

      Craig Thatcher and Nyke Van Wyk CD Release Mauch Chunk Opera House Craig Thatcher and Nyke Van Wyk CD Release Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House May 19, 2013 Craig Thatcher and Nyke Van Wyk have long been known at the Opera House for their incendiary live performances, dispensing everything from their famous Eric Clapton Tribute to their annual Christmas show. This time, they celebrate the release of their new CD, From the Valley to the World, at a special Opera House event. The first set will focus on their acoustic work, while during the second set they will bring out several of their very talented friends to perform with them, so...

      05/24/13	Jon Herington Band Mauch Chunk Opera House Jon Herington Band Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House May 24, 2013 Since late 1999, Jon Herington has been the guitarist of choice for Steely Dan, for both recording and touring. Jon has also toured with Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs, Bette Midler, Phoebe Snow and countless others, most recently with the Dukes of September, a supergroup with Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs, and Michael McDonald.

      06/02/13	Tea Leaf Green Mauch Chunk Opera House Tea Leaf Green Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House June 2, 2013 It ain’t easy being a gypsy, especially if one sings for their supper. In many ways, this quintet is the essence of rock’s adventurous, playfully outlaw spirit, all of which ultimately fuels songs that resonate with classic vibrations, open-ended possibilities and radio-ready charm. TLG are bruised romantics with heavy minds and a lighthearted way with experimentation, as likely to jam out a number as they are to nail a primo verse-verse-chorus pop gem.
      06/14/13	Dave Matthews Tribute by Billy Bauer Band Mauch Chunk Opera House Dave Matthews Tribute by Billy Bauer Band Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House June 14, 2013 The vocal style of Bethlehem-based Billy Bauer is so similar to that of the great Dave Matthews that it is only natural that he and his incendiary band would perform a tribute to his music at the Opera House. A strong work ethic, good sense of humor and willingness to make sacrifices has helped the Billy Bauer Band get as far as it already has. With a sound that echoes The Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, Death Cab for Cutie, and Jack Johnson, they have garnered acclaim...
      06/15/13	Craig Thatcher Band's Fillmore Tribute Mauch Chunk Opera House Craig Thatcher Band's Fillmore Tribute Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House June 15, 2013 Bill Graham’s legendary Fillmores East and West are the standards by which all live venues measure themselves. Every great group of the era (Allman Brothers, Cream, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Derek and the Dominoes, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Humble Pie, Miles Davis, and many others) recorded a live album there, and in the process captured the sound and inspiration that led each to the Fillmore.
      06/22/13	Felice Brothers Mauch Chunk Opera House Felice Brothers Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House June 22, 2013 The Felice Brothers have captured the decay and corruption of contemporary America in dazzling, sickening fashion, like a series of character sketches drawn behind the scenes at a decrepit carnival, set to after-hours folk blues as raw and unhinged as the subject matter. The national press has been blown away by this Americana band’s live set, with Esquire Magazine dubbing it one of the Nine Best Live Shows. This group just might expand the definition of Americana music.
