Some of the greatest musicians in the Lehigh Valley are coming to Charles A. Brown Ice House in Bethlehem on Sept. 21 to support veteran singer-songwriter Steve Brosky in a fundraiser for the film project, “Steve Brosky: Living in Allentown.”

Michael B. Judkins of Oct. 14 Entertainment is the film’s producer.

Brosky will attend the concert, but is not expected to perform. He was sidelined by health problems this summer, although he looks forward to a full recovery.

The music performed at the concert will be songs Brosky has written performed by other musicians.

“The local music community quickly stepped up. It was very flattering and I give heartfelt thanks that so many people are interested in donating their time and talent,” says Brosky.

Brosky, who lives in Whitehall Township, has performed in the Lehigh Valley region for decades, solo with his guitar, with another guitarist, or fronting his own band. His gruff but sensitive vocals tell many stories in his songs, about living in the area and topics relevant in the United States.

The fundraiser will be emceed by Geoff Chambers, host of “All Reet Street” on public radio station WDIY. He and Brosky will be at one side of the stage discussing his songs in 15-minute intervals between the performers, which will be a combination of solo artists, duos and bands.

Expected to perform in the concert are Doug Ashby, Lisa Bodnar, Nick Franclik, Dave Fry, Friends of Tom, Mississippi Pig Farmers, Jimmy Meyer, Joe Mixon, Lily Moss, Mike Raushcher, Bobby Soulman, Mike Stanley, James Supra and Craig Thatcher.

The show is sponsored by WDIY and Southside Bethlehem’s Godfrey Daniels. Brosky first performed at Godfreys in 1979, but did not return there for 20 years, being heavily involved with performing in clubs.

Says the benefit concert organizer Liz Younger, “I called a number of people. No matter who I called, they always had a story about playing with Steve.”

Younger says she was unable to fit in all those who wanted to perform in the concert.

Says Judkins: “We are slated to begin shooting at the end of the month until December, or Thanksgiving if the weather is bad. Eighty percent of the casting is done. We already filmed the Vietnam scenes at Blue Marsh Lake in Berks County.” Brosky is a Vietnam War veteran.

“We started preparing the film three years ago. Steve and I came together every few weeks to work on the script. We came up with 200 pages, which we had to cut down to 119 to keep it to a length of an hour and a half. We wanted a female director, who we found with Louise Devery,” Judkins says.

The biopic will chronicle Brosky’s life from age 16 to his 30s. It will include Brosky performances and music scenes with actors.

“We want to film a portion of the Ice House show as part of the musical montage at the end of the film. We will ask audience members to sign a talent release form at the door, giving us permission to include them,” says Judkins.
