December 15, 2022

We are The Argonauts sail the seven seas play funk a lot like a record get into the groove the things you hear about us well they got to be true

The Argonauts are a Pittsburgh funk blues rock band who released their self-titled debut album earlier this year and who have a couple members (Dale and Joe) who host an acoustic brunch open mic every third Sunday from 11:30-2pm at The Bridge Music Bar in East Liberty. This Sunday (December 18) features friends of the blog Carrie Collins and David Hipchen as featured performers. I want to thank Dale Mangold (Tenor Saxophone/Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Great city, with a lot of history, under rated music scene, beautiful scenery, friendly.

Thanks, Dale. We definitely have something in common as my first album was by Steve Miller Band (Greatest Hits) and my least favorite concert ever were The Cars because, yes, they are a fantastic band but SOOOOOOO boring live!
