Following five popular online educational sessions, Worship Summit Live is back for a Summer virtual edition. On Thursday, May 20, 2021, from 12 to 5 p.m. (ET), Worship Summit Live 6 will feature the latest technologies for worship streaming. Speakers will demonstrate the best practices for recording and live streaming worship celebrations. Attendees can view technical sessions at Worship Summit Live for free, as well as access a separate networking and collaboration post-Summit meeting the following day, May 21. That Zoom meeting will be held Friday, May 21, from 1 to 3 p.m. ET, with tickets for access only $5.
Since last year when houses of worship scrambled to reach their congregations virtually, worship leaders and volunteers have dramatically transformed their audio and visual technical skills for video production and live streaming. To build on that momentum, this two-day event will focus intently on technical topics, with deep dives into video production software, audio technologies and content delivery methods--from Facebook and YouTube to Zoom.
This edition will feature a brand new “Volunteer awards,” where ten deserving volunteers nominated by their houses of worship will receive PTZOptics webcams. To nominate a volunteer, go to https://worshipsummit.live/ Attendees will also see worship streaming tips from Seth Haberman, known as the “Digital Pastor,” and AJay Holmes, the founder of TechnoBabble, LLC, a musician and current president of the Antioch Baptist Church media ministry. The live stream will kick off with a pre-show at 11 a.m., where Ariel Viera, known as “Urbanist,” will give a live streaming tour of houses of worship from New York City. All registrants will be entered to win a HuddleCamHD SimplTrack2 robotic tracking camera!

Join us on July 15 for a virtual tour and Q&A with the American Swedish Historical Museum!
Founded in 1926, the American Swedish Historical Museum in South Philadelphia is the oldest Swedish museum in the United States. The Museum is located on land that was once part of a seventeenth-century land grant from Queen Christina of Sweden to Swedish colonist, Sven Skute. The Museum’s architect, Swedish-American John Nydén, combined architectural features from three prominent edifices in his design. He modeled the main building after a seventeenth-century Swedish manor house, Eriksberg in Södermanland. The copper cupola atop the building is inspired by the one on Stockhlom’s City Hall, and the arcades which flank the Museum are patterned after those at George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon.
The museum boasts twelve galleries, including ones that focus on the New Sweden Colony (now Pennsylvania), traditional Swedish textiles, Pippi Longstocking, the accomplishments of Swedish women through history, and many more!

The Top Allman Brothers Tribute Band Has Received National Acclaim For Their Appearance On AXS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” & Has Been Named As A Featured Performer On The 2022 “Time Life Southern Rock Cruise”
LIVE AT THE FILLMORE (LATF): The Definitive Tribute To The Original Allman Brothers Band will be bringing the early music of the iconic Allman Brothers Band to the stage at Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St., West Chester, PA) this Saturday, July 31 at 8 PM.
Kicking off Uptown!’s tribute band series, LATF’s show will offer fans an exact reproduction of the live concert performances of the original Allman Brothers Band featuring Duane Allman, Dickey Betts and Berry Oakley. Musically and sonically, LATF recreates the experience of hearing one of the greatest live bands of all time as they sounded in 1969-1971. Particularly featured are the songs from the ABB’s monumental shows at Bill Graham's Fillmore East Auditorium in New York City in March and June of 1971 – when the members of LATF first heard the legendary band live.
"On June 26, 1971, I was at Fillmore East for the Saturday night late show, the last public concert at Fillmore East, the one the ABB band calls 'THE SHOW,' the one they feel is the greatest performance they ever gave. I've never heard them or any other band give a better performance before or since," said LATF Founder and Guitarist/Vocalist Lou Maresca.
LATF is the continuation of the band’s devotion to performing the music of the original Allman Brothers Band as it was performed in those early years before the untimely deaths of Duane and Berry Oakley and the departure of Dickey Betts. According to Maresca, “for me, those years were the ‘glory days’ of the Allman Brothers Band.”
LATF is the top ABB tribute band and has received countless accolades and rave reviews for their authenticity and musicianship. In fact, they’ve been named as a featured performer on next year’s “Time Life Southern Rock Cruise” and received national acclaim for their Spring 2017 performance on national TV as part of AXS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands.”
The LIVE AT THE FILLMORE (LATF): The Definitive Tribute To The Original Allman Brothers Band show kicks off Uptown’s tribute band series, which will also feature such esteemed bands as Echoes: The American Pink Floyd, Eaglemania, Back In Black: ACDC Tribute, Studio Two: Early Beatles Tribute and many more.
