A former Penn State student is back to help kick-off the weekend.
Country music artist Ben Gallaher will be taking the stage Friday in downtown State College for the Jam Before the Jam concert.
He will be showcasing new songs from his new EP that’s coming out in August.
Even though he lives in Nashville now, he said there’s nothing like coming back to play in Happy Valley.
“It’s a crazy feeling. Just driving in. I haven’t been back since 2015. Just thinking about it today like…there’s nothing like Happy Valley. There’s just nothing like it. I’m pumped to be back here,” Sony Music country recording artist.
The event starts at 8 p.m. on the corner of East College Avenue and Allen Street. Gallaher takes the stage at 9 p.m.
