Sins no more? Muihlenberg College radio station, WMUH, 91.7-FM, wmuh.org presents the Original Sins with St. John’s Alliance, 8 p.m. April 13, Seegers Union. Muhlenberg College, 2400 Chew St., Allentown. Brother JT (John Terlesky), vocals, guitar, songwriter; Ken Bussiere, bass; Dan McKinney, keyboards, and Dave Ferrara, drums, are getting back together in the town where it all began. The Sins are said to have “blazed a trail that summoned the 1960s’ gods of garage and psych while stamping an unmistakable contemporary spin on the proceedings.” Also reuniting for the concert is St. John’s Alliance, a Beatles-influenced band that features the rhythm section of Bussiere and Ferrara that predated the Sins. There’s also a concert by the Sins at 7 p.m. April 12, Johnny Brenda’s, Philadelphia. The concerts are said to be The Sins’ last gigs with the original lineup.
