Keystone Amplifiers

COVID Mayhem Took down our shop and transformer dealer but you know we will never quit and are already retooling. As we rebuild we are lending some empty spare space out of the new digs out to the son of Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame Advisory Committee member and dear friend Cheryl Brooks. Akiva is throwing down Hip Hop Dance lessons from Keystone HQ on Friday! Conrad Fisher we want to see you there!

My happy place. Keystone is on fire today!!!! John Rossey

When we aren't designing amps we spend a lot of time humping PA systems around for our friends. Today we have wonderfully weird one! Belly Dancing...Yes...Real Belly Dancing... I was this many years old when I learned how to mic an oud! 6:30 pm today in front of Au Bon Lieu! ... Was originally 5pm This event is strictly BYOO! (bring your own oud)

ETown Represents!!! This guy is one of the newest in our circle. No keystone yet but something tells me we will figure that out! This is so cool! Hunter Root we are going to have a fun winter! https://youtu.be/lpVrQo9p7eY

A religious experience today. The Englewood in Hershey was designed as a "listening venue". They absolutely nailed it! The best live sound I have ever heard. Maybe it was sweeter after so many months of silence, or because I saw friends I love and haven't seen for months. Betting it had more to do with my older brother who taught me so much about good music visiting and hearing a Keystone for the very first time...with John Rossey of Cold Spring Union making it talk! Today didn't suck. If you truly love listening to live music The Englewood is fucking amazing.

A friend shared this today. Really hit home!!! I had to pass it on.

Enough 2020! This daylight savings time I am setting my clocks back to 1984. FFS!!! RIP Eddie!

A new music venue right in Hershey! Best sound system we have ever heard! Betting the food is pretty amazing too. Support live local music anyway you can right now. We will come back better, stronger and louder.

Oud soundcheck. That was a first!!! Belly dancer at 6:30!!!! Right on Chocolate. They didn't have to ask twice

Want to see what a whole quarantine of pent up frustration sounds like? Pretty damn good if you ask us! Thanks Carrie Herrington! So happy to see two of my favorite people out breaking gear again. That is John Rossey and Cody Wilt and we are so glad to have them back!

Three Strands from Lancaster PA...plugged in! Live now! Seriously cool 71 Gibson!

Tonight we sit down with Brandon Valentine (Bval) of the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame for a little interview and then let him do a little quality assurance on a new design we are trying out. After the interview the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame Quarantine Live Stream which started as the Keystone Coffeehouse live right here on Java Avenue will celebrate our 100th live stream. Over $15k has been raise for our local musicians and charities and through the herculean efforts of Brandon Valentine, the live music of Central Pa never stopped despite the pandemic. Today our feed was filled with live music announcements at some of the local venues. This isn't over...but with live music it will certainly be better. Thank you for supporting live music!

Can't tell you how happy this makes us. No surprise that they figured something out (folks at Spring Gate are VERY smart). SpringGate Vineyard has given so many of our friends the opportunity to perform when they were unknown. They are a vital part of the Central Pa live music scene. Going to be few Keystones at SpringGate this summer!

Gettysburg in the house! Marshall Stone is live now. Brandon Valentine and the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame are closing in on 100 streams during this challenging time. No idea this would grow to this level. So proud to know you Brandon Valentine!
