The Valley of Williamsport PA Scottish Rite will turn up the volume this spring with a special fundraising concert featuring “LIVE WIRE – The Ultimate AC/DC Experience” at 7 p.m. April 25, a press release said.

“The event promises an electrifying evening of classic rock while supporting the organization’s charitable programs and community initiatives,” said the release.

Known nationwide for its authentic sound and high-energy performances, “LIVE WIRE” delivers a concert experience that faithfully recreates the music and spirit of legendary rock icons AC/DC. Fans can expect powerful renditions of iconic hits such as “Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell,” “Thunderstruck” and many more.

The show will take place at the Williamsport Scottish Rite Auditorium, 348 Market Street. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Williamsport Scottish Rite’s ongoing philanthropic efforts, including community outreach, charitable giving and educational programs.

“We’re very excited that ‘LIVE WIRE’ partnered with us. ‘LIVE WIRE’ puts on an incredible show, and we’re thrilled to host them,” said Jack Becker, Event Committee chair. “This concert is our main fundraising event for the year with 60% of the monies raised going to various local charitable organizations as well as supporting Scottish Rite charities such as children’s dyslexia centers, continuing undergraduate and graduate scholarships for young men and women from Scottish Rite families, and providing assistance to Masons and their families facing unexpected hardships.

“This concert is the first of many we hope to offer. Our goal is to continue bringing in a couple tribute bands each year mixed in with other entertainment acts, not only as fundraisers, but to showcase our auditorium – which is a hidden gem in downtown Williamsport that is being under-utilized – as a venue available to the community for bookings such as plays, conferences, recitals, etc.,” said Becker. “For the past two years, the Valley of Williamsport Scottish Rite provided over $10,000 to charitable organizations such as American Rescue Workers, YWCA and Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. Our goal is to double that for 2026.”

Performing for 26 years and internationally renowned, “LIVE WIRE” is the most accurate and authentic AC/DC tribute show both in sound and stage performance, according to the press release.

“Emulating the pure essence, power and electricity of what an AC/DC show is all about, ‘LIVE WIRE’ has proven to audiences time and time again that you can’t stop rock ‘n roll,” said the press release.

“As a local resident of the Williamsport area, we’re thrilled to be performing right here in Central PA,” said Mike Hughes, who is the mirror image of Angus himself on lead guitar. “The closest we play on a regular basis to here is at Penns Peak. And to be able to help support a local organization, in a great acoustic auditorium, and raise money and awareness for the Scottish Rite’s charitable efforts…what could be better?”
