My ninth time seeing him play and he did not disappoint. My all time favorite album is Grant Lee Buffalo’s..

I like this band. They were very enjoyable. If this doesn’t sound like the most ringing of endorsements, well…maybe I would have liked to see them with a full band? I don’t know, I dug the trio vibe, I really did. Or maybe I was just…

Grant Lee Phillips WYEP Studios Saturday May 8, 2010 Southside Think for a moment of your all-time favorite musician, the one who’s music has changed your life in a way that no other has. For me, that person is Grant. I suppose I could wax poetically for some time about the endless hours of discovery […]

Another big reason I wanted to hit Justin’s show was that I would finally be seeing Small Cities play. I wasn’t too familiar with what they were all about having only heard a few songs of the…

Justin contacted me to witness his first ever band show. Comprising members of bands around town including The Red Western, Big Hurry,..

Nothing better than to get outside on a beautiful night with the family and enjoy live local music. Tonight, the usually mellow band was, dare I say it…ROCKING!?! Seriously, they brought some fire to Emily’s tunes. Very nice…

For many reasons, the above image being one, I am so glad I live in Pittsburgh!…

Of all the musicians we have in town, I think none are more creative than David Bernabo. For years he has been integrating his music with art, literature, and performance like no one else. His latest project is DJ Responsibility and his first endeavor under …

Greta Morgan used to be in a band called The Hush Sound. Her new band is playing GA with Family of the Year and…

Jacob is a country/folk singer from Nashville who will be playing an in-store set at Decade boutique in the Southside. He was cool enough to participate in this latest edition of First/Last…

TUS are a self-described “psychedelic/gospel/grime” band hailing from both Kentucky and D.C. Before playing a mess of high profile festivals this summer, they are stopping in Pittsburgh. Drummer Robby Cosenza was cool enough to participate in this latest edition of First/Last…

Martin Bisi has a storied career as a producer and performer. Some of his noteworthy collaborations are with Brian Eno, Sonic Youth, and Herbie Hancock to name a few. He’s coming to town and was cool enough to participate in this edition of First/Last…

I like these guys. I don’t LOVE them as many people seem to do. For me, a two man band is limited in their sound. If they had a full band I think I would be groovin’ on them more than I do. What I do love are the pictures I took of them. Sometimes the three song limit seems to work to my advantage. Setlist here. More photos here…

This soul/pop punk band from Chicago is ending a quick East Coast swing in Pittsburgh before heading home to play summer dates. JC was kind enough to participate in this latest installment of First/Last…

I never heard of this band before they were announced as an opener. They were pretty solid given I wasn’t familiar with their music at all. Extremely humble and cool dudes even though they hail from Philly…BOOO! As with last year, I have to give a huge shout out to my man Warren who hooked me up with the pass. Thanks, buddy!..

I have been trying to see this band for awhile now. They have a ‘country’ vibe to them which was brought out even more by the inclusion of Pete Freeman’s beautiful pedal steel runs…

So Rick(?) and his partners opened up for Dark Dark Dark at MoGlo and was a totally welcome surprise. Basic acoustic music? Yes, although there was an ‘honesty’ to his set that makes me want to seek out more. I briefly introduced myself to him after the show and dude, contact me please. There is absolutely zero tracings of you online and I have to hear your stuff again. More photos here…

There is a lot of incredible buzz blogging around Pittsburgh about this show. I have seen the band seven times now and I feel the praise not only for this show but the whole tour in general is very much well deserved. With a near perfect mammoth…

So why focus on a show that took place almost a year ago now? Why not? For reasons I cannot explain, I sometimes put off editing my photos for a show until, well…I feel like it. That’s not to say that this show wasn’t enjoyable. I have to say the exact opposite. It was probably …

For a review of the show check out my man from The PGH Music Report, the ultimate Beulah fanboy. I have to say that Miles was one cool dude. His father is from Carnegie. My wife is from Carnegie. So yeah, we’re practically related…
