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.

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.

Useless Cans with special guest Grace Elliot
2018-11-09 20:00 - 22:30
Friday, November 9, 2018 Useless Cans

Born in New York’s Capital Region, the Useless Cans have been bringing a mix of original and standard old-time jazz, folk and traditional Russian tunes to their audiences since 2016. The trio consists of guitar, upright bass and washboard with all three members lending their voices here and there. Guitarist, Bobby Davis and Upright Bassist, Dylan Perrillo met several years prior to the formation of UC through mutual friends in the Albany, NY music scene briefly before Davis relocated to Boulder, Colorado. There he spent a number of years studying Geology and frequenting bluegrass and old timey music sessions in and around the Rocky Mountains and continued honing his guitar and banjo playing skills. After completing his degree, he moved to Troy, NY and made many visits to friends in Montreal and New York City before settling in Bennington, VT where he currently resides. While living in New York’s capital region, Davis and Perrillo reunited and began exploring gypsy jazz heavily and started playing in various venues around the area.
One fateful night, while playing an old Russian song at a now defunct art collective space, they caught the ear of Julia Posin who is of Ukrainian heritage. Knowing the words of the tune from her childhood, she began singing along and without knowing, they had performed for the very first of what would become many times together. Soon after their chance meeting, Posin graduated from University at Albany with concentrations in both art and music and briefly relocated back to Oceanside, NY only to return once again in the following autumn to Albany. While all three members were living in upstate New York, they began playing music and hanging out together and they soon realized what great friends they had become. Since then, they have gone on to play all over the northeast making frequent trips to the Adirondacks, New York City and everywhere in between.
The Useless Cans have just finished their third E.P. entitled ‘Breezy Point’ which features mostly tunes written by Davis that are inspired by today’s political and social climate. In the upcoming summer months the Cans will be performing around the northeast before they gear up for their fall tour to Nashville, Tennessee and back in support of their latest disc.

John Vento - "Love, Lust and Other Wreckage" Listening Party
2018-11-02 20:00 - 22:30
Friday, November 2, 2018
Singer John Vento, along with collaborators David Granati ( producer / guitar player), Cherylann Hawk (singer songwriter), Bert Lauble (song writer) and Playwright Amy Hartman, will be at Steamworks Creative on Friday Nov. 2nd (8pm) to discuss the creation of John’s new CD and soon to be stage play “Love, Lust, & Other Wreckage”
“Love, Lust and Other Wreckage”; A new experiential performance effort by John Vento works as a theatrical confession. Original musical compositions, intimate story -telling scenes portray a unique tension between one man’s journey into the inside of an almost compulsive lust to create music, an insatiable desire to love and the struggle of climbing from the wreckage ensued by this pursuit. And it’s mostly all true.”
All that attend will receive a free CD and download card. This is not a live performance, but a behind the scenes look into their creative process. The live performance and official CD release party will be the following evening Saturday Nov. 3rd at Moondogs in Blawnox, PA.
