The Foundry at The Fillmore

  • Valley: Pop and Spectacle

    I imagine than Toronto-based quartet Valley make the kind of pop that Butch Walker would love: vulgar, yet completely inoffensive.  They know how to put on a helluva party, but a party which your parents are well aware of and hope is enjoyed by all of those who attend. ...
  • Hailey Whitters: “I’m a songwriter, not a heart surgeon.” (2/25 at The Foundry)

    Although she’s currently in the middle of her first-ever headlining tour, there’s a good chance that country music fans of Philadelphia are already familiar with Hailey Whitters.  2019 saw the Iowa-born, Nashville-based singer/songwriter supporting Maren Morris at The Met and just last November she opened for Midland at the...
