Friday, November 16, 2018 Heather Kropf with special guest Sloane Simon
Heather Kropf has been a Pittsburgh-based musician for over two decades, earning acclaim for her evocative singing and songwriting. Trained in classical piano but intuitive in her approach to songwriting, she has charmed audiences with her soothing, mesmerizing blend of Americana and jazz-influenced songs that captures the complexity of modern life and romance. Her honeyed vocals are reminiscent of early influences Suzanne Vega and Joni Mitchell, and her live shows feature some of Pittsburgh’s finest players.
She recently went to Nashville to collaborate with producer/multi-instrumentalist Lex Price. Together, they created her fifth release “Lights”, a starkly beautiful album of heart-wrenching pop songs, listed as a best album of 2017 by Pittsburgh’s TribLIVE, and an honoree finalist for Top Entertainment + Media Projects of the Year (2018) by the Creative Industries Network.

Saturday, November, 24, 2018 Vertical 48 with special guest Spirit of the Bear
An energetic pop trio from Pittsburgh, PA, Vertical 48 brings the BIG party wherever they go. With a sound reminiscent of bands like DNCE and Walk the Moon as well as solo artists like Charlie Puth and Bruno Mars, these three hip dudes aim to put on a show worthy of remembering at least a little bit. Their latest single, “Late to the Party,” features an upbeat groove with a funky bass line and a hook as sticky as something that is extremely sticky. Having shared the stage with the likes of The Maine, SWMRS and Cheat Codes, Vertical 48 plans to dominate the world both with their sound and their particular view of economics.

Spirit of the Bear launched themselves quickly into the local spotlight in Ohio after forming in the summer of 2014. Their sound, a unique blend of indie rock and electronic influences is prevalent throughout their recordings and live performances, and this element makes Spirit of the Bear one of the most exciting rock acts around. Having performed in prominent venues in cities such as Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and more, it’s safe to say that Spirit of the Bear is quickly up-and-coming in their region.

The band consists of James Harker (guitar, vocals), Danny Svenson (keys, vocals), Ethan Schwendeman (keys), Mike Perorazio (Bass) and Jamie Vitullo (drums). The group’s versatility and wide breadth of musical background makes for a sound that is original and complex, while still relatable to its audience. Their newest album, Fade Into Blue, was released in November of 2017 to great acclaim from the band’s tight-knit, loyal fan base, several Ohio blogs, and crowds throughout the region.

Brandon Green with special guest Grace Elliott
2018-11-30 20:00 - 22:30
Friday, November 30, 2018 Brandon Green

Brandon Green’s style of acoustic and electric guitar ranges from up-beat alternative rock to more soothing contemporary sounds, like that of musician/artist Johnny Rzeznik of The Goo Goo Dolls, Green’s main musical inspiration.
Originally from Oswego, NY, Green began playing drums at the early age of three and electric guitar at age 12. Song-writing came naturally to Green since age 16, but his interest in music production took him to Tempe, AZ in 2004 where he completed his Audio Engineer Certificate at The Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Relocating to Western Pennsylvania in 2007, Green displayed his talent as a drummer in local band Covert’s Crossing, and managed sound set-ups on the side for other musicians in the area. In 2010 Green broadened his reach and joined local band Half Dozen Krackerz playing rhythm guitar, all the while fusing creativity and songwriting into prospective solo works.
His solo demo features acoustic versions of original compositions performed with a single mic’d acoustic guitar. Green’s original (hit) “Shadow” is widely acclaimed in the local music scene and is performed live with his current band as an electric ensemble.
The acoustic version of ‘Shadow” is also showcased on an up-and-coming compilation cd for a local music project. His open-mic performances feature all of his original tracks and other various acoustic covers.
Green continues to pursue his dreams of music and songwriting by staying active in the local music scene. He plays at numerous venues and open-mic events and solo-acts, and stays connected with various musicians and artists nationwide.

Grace Elliott is a 15 year old singer from Pittsburgh, PA. Her styles range from soulful ballads and blues, to pop and R&B.

The Dead End Streets
2019-01-18 20:00 - 22:30
Friday, 1/18/19 8pm – The Dead End Streets

Singer/songwriter Matt Aquiline began performing in Pittsburgh in the early ’90s and recorded his 1997 cd, Dice Roll, at Dave World in Ambridge, PA, backed by some of Pittsburgh’s best musicians including Whitey Cooper and Sam Klingensmith of Norman Nardini and the Tigers, Joe Marini of Jim Donovan and the Sun King Warriors and at least 1 Granati brother. He moved to DC to further other career pursuits, where he formed the band, Kid Goat, which performed in the DC area for ten years and recorded the 2009 cd, “These People Aren’t You.”
Kid Goat disbanded in 2013 and Aquiline returned to Pittsburgh to continue writing and performing his music in the town where it was formed.
To help bring his sound home, Aquiline enlisted veterans of the local scene Stefan Rodriguez (Bad Attitude, Full Circle Band, Electriflyers) on Bass, Neil Carr (Scene 14, RockHeart, Gringo Zydeco) on Lead Guitar and Vocals and Bill Maruca (Sandoz, The Pawnbrokers, TheCAUSE, Billy Price) on Keys, and the youthful talents of Evan Cvejkus on Drums and Heather Catley on Vocals and Guitar. Catley and other band members have also begun contributing their own stellar original material to Aquiline’s, adding even more dimension to a sound that already married folk, rock, blues, country and a little blue-eyed soul into an Americana sound that is pure Pittsburgh, with skill, authenticity and the kind of depth you develop surviving a few cold Winters.
Matt Aquiline and The Dead End Streets released their debut EP “Coming Home” in December 2017. They released a two-song single of original Christmas songs in December 2018, “No Excuse Not To Have A Merry Christmas.”
