The Jaded Lips

Homegrown Rock & Soul." That is both how The Jaded Lips describe their sound as well as their band mantra. This dynamic trio comprised of Mike Wertz (Vocals/Guitar), Hunter Karns (Bass) & Dave Applas (Drums), invoke shades of classic & modern rock, garage, blues, & R&B. If groups like The Black Crowes, The Black Keys & Stone Temple Pilots had a lovechild it might sound like these guys.
The group has shared the stage with multiple national acts such as The Clarks, Los Lobos, Trouble No More, Keller Williams, Medusas Disco, Yam Yam, Doom Flamingo, etc & playing well known music festivals like Flood City Festival & Millvale Music Festival. With the release of debut LP "Lip Service," in 2023 they have gone from the basement to the big stage through hard work, tight songcraft & high energy performances earning them rave reviews & nominated for "Best Rock Band of 2023" by the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame.
