Bring the Psychedelics for Brother JT at JB’s Nov. 8

Long before the recent buzz from Lehigh Valley’s Soars and Allentown’s Pissed Jeans put the sleepy blue collar area back on the music industry radar, Easton’s John Telesky was laying the foundation for its indie music scene. First, with The Original Sins who were one of the early acts on Bar None Records, he recorded Big Soul which was hailed by The New York Times as one of the 10 best albums in the 80s. The Renaissance man has also received some critical acclaim for his series of self-published books and bizarre commemorative stamp style paintings. Now, he’s spent over decade releasing his latest musical escapades under the moniker Brother JT. Telesky will be bringing his psychedelic pop tunes to JB’s tonight to certainly mess with your mind. Below is a strange but humorous video of the multi-faceted Telesky interviewing Espers’ Greg Weeks and Chris Smith for his Trippin’ Ballz video series. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
