ABOUT JASON MCINTYRE

Jason McIntyre is a singer-songwriter whose music blends the storytelling spirit of American roots with the grit of rock and blues. Inspired by the great bands of the 60s and 70s, the Texas troubadour tradition, and classic blues artists, his songs explore the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

Originally from central Pennsylvania, McIntyre’s journey has taken him across the country—from the mountains of Colorado to his current home in Austin, Texas—shaping a sound rooted in travel, reflection, and connection.

He first gained recognition with The Rustlanders, whose debut album led to touring opportunities alongside the likes of Ryan Bingham and Grace Potter. Since then, McIntyre has continued writing and recording, building a solo catalog that includes four albums: Miles (2014), Bloomsday (2017), and Songs of Our Friends (2020).

In March 2026, McIntyre released the single “LISTENING FOR A TRAIN,” featuring legendary Texas musician Lloyd Maines on pedal steel guitar. The track is the first release from an upcoming full-length album scheduled for September 2026.

In addition to performing and recording, McIntyre is dedicated to the healing power of music. He teaches songwriting and multiple instruments at Swallow Hill Music in Denver and works with Challenge America on music therapy programs supporting military veterans living with PTSD.

ABOUT DAN COLLINS

Dan Collins has been a fixture of the Central Pennsylvania music scene for years. He currently performs with Caledonia, Lowjack, and Dead Stars, while also producing and collaborating with a wide range of regional artists through his studio, Earwicker. Dan and Jason McIntyre have worked and performed together for over a decade in various groups including Lemont, Little Townes, and JMac’s Contraband, while creating three albums along the way — Miles (2014), Bloomsday(2016), and Songs of Our Friends (2020). The duo recently released the single “Listening for a Train” in preparation for another full-length album due out this fall.

A nationally award-winning fiddle player, Collins draws from Irish traditional music, classical training, and rock and roll energy to create a style that is both deeply rooted and distinctly his own. Whether performing intimate acoustic sets or high-energy live shows, his playing blends technical precision with raw emotional feel.

BEER : Orval Day 2026
Mar
21
4:00 PM16:00

BEER : Orval Day 2026

Join us to celebrate one of our favorite beer traditions… ORVAL DAY!!! Proudly, we celebrate with both vintage and young bottles as one of the officially recognized Orval Day Venues in the United States. Be sure to stop by to enjoy a glass, or better yet make that two, and experience the magical beer that is Orval!!!

ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

  • Pay-as-you-go event. Free to attend. No cover charge.

  • Vintage and Current Bottles Available.

ABOUT ORVAL DAY

The Orval legend began almost 1,000 years ago, when a princess accidentally dropped her ring into a spring and a trout returned it. It continues now, with a day to reflect on and enjoy this amazing Trappist ale.

On Orval Day, devotees of Orval Trappist Ale – and some folks who maybe have not tried it yet – convene to celebrate one of the world’s unique and highly-respected beers.

Orval Trappist Ale was the first Brett beer to land on US shores, and has become the favorite beer for many star American brewers. ( “Brett” – brettanomyces – is a yeast variety that adds appetizing, sharp acidity and dryness.) Orval is brewed to exquisite perfection within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery in Belgium. It’s delicious when it leaves the brewery, but also evolves in the bottle for five years or more.

Each year we make a donation to charity based on US sales of Orval on Orval Day.

LIVE MUSIC: Love Salad

7:00 PM19:00

LIVE MUSIC: Love Salad

Jazz is back at Alla Spina with Love Salad. This evening's performance features An Lai on vocals backed by Dr. Joshua Davis (Director of Penn State Jazz) on bass/nord, and special guest students from the Penn State Jazz Department!

ABOUT LOVE SALAD

LOVE SALAD: An Lai – voice | Todd Harrison – drums | Joshua Davis – bass/nord

Love Salad is a pop/jazz/soul quartet trio built around the extraordinary vocal presence of An Lai and powered by two virtuosos whose backgrounds span funk, jazz, and progressive rock. Their setlist pulls from SZA, Yebba, Sting, Roberta Flack, Corinne Bailey Rae, and selections from their own 2018 album Total Eclipsed Me (available on Spotify, Apple Music, and more).

The bass, and drums reshape each groove into something fresh — a deep D’Angelo-style pocket colliding with the colorful improvisation of Weather Report, all framing An Lai’s expressive, genre-blurring vocal style.
