P.E. James and Ché Zuro Reunion Tour October 2025
P.E. James and Ché Zuro have known each other since their days together at Elizabeth-Forward High School. The two veteran musicians will be performing together in their native western Pennsylvania at the end of October. They will be playing blended shows at concert halls, Senior Centers, breweries, and nursing homes with stops including:

· Steamworks Creative (Thursday, October 23 from 7 to 9 PM)
· Bloom Brew (Sunday, October 26 from 3 to 6 PM)
· Mr. Small’s Funhouse (Acousticafé, Monday, October 27)

They have had joint performances at several special occasions over the years, including one of the first shows opening the rediscovered Music Hall at the Carnegie Library of Homestead. Their blended skills have led to many wonderful musical moments. A video of their duet on Ché’s original song “Start Out Innocent” at the Carnegie Library performance is included under the VIDEOS tab at pejamesmusic.com.

Ché Zuro, a Pennsylvania gal now living in Utah, mixes Beatle-ina pop with the acoustic grit of Led Zeppelin, mixing rock with folk, pop with country, to create a sound all her own. With an angelic voice and rock star guitar chops, Ché brings the audience a joyous musical roller coaster ride at every show with her originals and hand picked cover tunes. Her website, checheche.com, has her performance schedule and latest information.

P.E. James has been entertaining audiences by singing and playing acoustic guitar for over four decades. His specialty is performing upbeat songs from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, including early rock and roll and sing-along pop and folk tunes. P.E. writes and performs both cover songs and original material. He is presently living in central Massachusetts, and his recordings have been played on radio stations in both Massachusetts and in his hometown Pittsburgh, PA. Along with photos, videos, performance schedule, and reviews, his recordings are available for listening at his web site (pejamesmusic.com).

“Ever since leaving his tenure as a guitarist with Pittsburgh’s Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers, Toms has been an indefatigable rock-and-soul warrior of the highest order” – Nick Cristiano, ROCK* BLUES MUSE (May 30, 2025)
While it’s hard to put a finger on any one sound that defines “American music,” the compositions of Bill Toms are as close a template as any. The Pittsburgh native, along with his band Hard Rain, delivers a sound that takes the greatest of America’s most beloved genres and melds them into a poetic representation of the best the country has to offer.

Rock talks! Presents: Here be dragons: Monsters in music
2025-10-30 19:00 - 21:00 | Steamworks Creative, 4967 William Flinn Hwy #6, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, 15044
They haunt our dreams, they are the foundations of our nightmares. They are present
across all times, all cultures. They’re always there, just at the edges of our vision. They are
the things that go bump in the night. And we just can’t seem to get enough of them.
Monsters in folklore, literature, movies, and in song. The music will get heavy, but with
some surprises thrown in. So join us, if you dare.
Rock and ROOOAAARRR On!
Folklore tradition speaks of a myriad of creatures, some benign, some benevolent. But it
was the malevolent ones – THE MONSTERS – that were spoken of most. Ghost stories around
campfires, frightening tales used to terrify disobedient children, epic adventures of heroes
who would be long forgotten if not for the beasts they faced. Those legends went on to
influence Western literature in the 19th century, and films of the 20th century. But this is
ROCK TALKS!, and we talk about rock! Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Black Sabbath, Blue Öyster
Cult, Here Come The Mummies and more! So if you hear screams, don’t worry it’s just the music. Probably

The Winedark Serenatas 20th Anniversary Album Release & Photo Exhibit
2025-11-01 19:00 - 21:30 | Steamworks Creative, 4967 William Flinn Hwy #6, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, 15044
Singer-songwriter J. Trafford will present a newly re-recorded version of his 2005 debut album The Winedark Serenatas at a special homecoming solo performance on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at Steamworks Creative. The performance will coincide with a photography exhibition of new images of J. Trafford created by visual artist, author, and model Joella Clove (Almonde Photography).
J. Trafford began his work in music in Pittsburgh in 2002. In 2005, Trafford wrote and produced The Winedark Serenatas, his first full-length album which was self-released as a small run of CDs. Following the release of two additional solo albums, Trafford turned his creative direction and patchwork influences to ensemble music with the bands Suavity’s Mouthpiece, Sommelier, and Nowhere Wolves. Each of these acts has garnered recognition locally and internationally for their originality, often with respect toward Trafford’s writing and vocal performance.
Trafford has re-recorded The Winedark Serenatas from scratch with the assistance of longtime friend and Suavity’s Mouthpiece guitarist Nick Bigatel (also of the bands Smokey Bellows and Citywitch). The 2025 version of The Winedark Serenatas album keeps true to the ornate arrangements and dynamics of the original work, but is heightened by keen, polished production and vintage-aged performances.
Photographer and multi-faceted artist Joella Clove was enlisted to assist with the re-creation of The Winedark Serenatas’ original artwork for the re-recording. Clove subsequently created a series of images portraying Trafford’s rediscovery of the album’s original songwriting notes; these images will be exhibited at The Winedark Serenatas twentieth anniversary show.
The Winedark Serenatas release show will feature performances by special guests Sarah Halter (metal singer-songwriter), Hemlock for Socrates (post-punk duo), and The Stolen Stitches Sideshow (vaudeville entertainers).
Tickets for The Winedark Serenatas twentieth anniversary show Saturday, November 1 at Steamworks Creative are on-sale now at https://trafford.estate.
