Melody Trucks and the Fitzkee Brothers don’t just play Southern rock—they ignite it. Melody, daughter of Allman Brothers drum legend Butch Trucks, has carved her own lane with a voice that can preach, plead, and roar when the moment calls for it.
The Fitzkee Brothers bring the heat, fusing blues-soaked guitar work with groove-heavy rhythms and fearless improvisation that pulls from Southern rock, funk, and jam-band traditions.

Adding another powerful dimension is Chris Vitarello, a Blues Hall of Fame guitarist known for his lyrical, inventive playing and his time with Butch Trucks & The Freight Train Band, the Bruce Katz Band, and touring with Vanessa Collier. His presence creates a rare bridge between generations—connecting the music of Melody’s father’s era with the sound of what comes next.
Together, this lineup delivers a night of original music, deep grooves, and improvisation rooted in tradition but pushing forward at full speed.

For fans of: The Allman Brothers Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Widespread Panic, The Meters, Derek & The Dominos, Parliament-Funkadelic

Wildlands Conservancy’s Stream Team Volunteers – 2026!
Dates: Fridays, May 29 – Sept. 25, 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM at various locations – check out our website for more information.

If you’re ready to go with the flow, join us as we maintain vegetative areas along streams (riparian buffers) and help ensure the survival of young, native trees in the forest buffer. These vital areas improve water quality in local communities, reduce erosion and flooding concerns, and provide habitat for wildlife.

Repairing vegetative streamside areas, also called riparian buffers, is a science-based method to:
• Improving water quality by reducing pollutants entering waterways through runoff, providing clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in local communities.
• Restoring habitat for fish and native birds by planting native vegetation that provides sustenance and cools the water temperature.
• Reducing flooding downstream.
Stream Team is an act of environmental stewardship, which is our guiding principle to protecting and restoring our critical waterways that are the lifeblood of the Lehigh Valley and Lehigh River.

Stream Team is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, college students, and community groups. Volunteers are encouraged to register for multiple dates and locations at: https://www.wildlandspa.org/streamteam/.
