Joe Newtz
2018-07-27 20:00 - 22:30
Friday, July 27th, 2018,
Joe Newtz, a solo musician from Beaver, Pennsylvania, has been writing rhythmic and engaging songs for over twenty years. ‘I just write songs about how I feel at the time,’ says Joe, a self-trained musician and vocalist.
While most of the songs are acoustic-based, the music is elevated by unexpected melodic twists and turns which display the diversity of his influences. His unique, resilient voice and accessible lyrics convey a yearning for spirituality and social relevance, yet his music certainly wouldn’t sound out of place on your favorite modern-rock radio station.
In 2016, Joe Newtz was placed on the Official Ballot for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards by The Recording Academy in the following categories: Best Rock Performance (‘Falling In’), Best Rock Performance (‘Save Me’), and Best Rock Song (‘Falling In’).

Saturday, August 4, 2018, David R. Hawkins
Singer-songwriter David R. Hawkins has found Pittsburgh by way of Chicago, New Orleans, Tulsa, and Detroit, and he has picked up musical flavors wherever he has lived. His songs are both tough and gentle, born in a place where flesh and spirit meet and where one’s soul is on the line. They are songs of Love, Hope, Death, Loss, a splash of Whiskey, and an echo of the Divine.

September, 7th, 2018, David, Pappy and Jill from theCAUSE
There’s nothing quite like the transference of energy between the audience and the performers at a live concert. The acoustic trio of David Tauberg (bass), Jill Simmons (vocals) and Eric “Pappy” Weingrad (guitar, vocals) plays on this dynamic at a very high level. They live in the moment. Any song can turn on a dime, whether pushing its energy to the hilt or bringing it down to its most delicate moment. These 3 musicians from Pittsburgh’s beloved jam band, theCAUSE enjoy living in the moment and sharing that energy with the audience and no room is better for such an intimate experience than John Vento’s Steamworks Creative, where people come to experience such moments.

Sunday, September, 16th, 2018
When midwest native, Hannah Fairlight, moved to Raelyn Nelson’s hometown of Nashville, TN, the people of the village kept confusing them for one another so they formed a band sometime in mid-December of 2016.
The pair have individually gained a lot of traction with their solo projects but the universe pushed them together to form an acoustic duo that is “clever as the dickens” and “envelope pushing” (Nashville Arts Magazine). Their “modern day Hee-Haw Show” has grabbed the attention of the Nashville music scene with features in the East Nashvillian’s “Women in Music” issue that claimed mmhmm was “the breakout duo of the year.” With catchy melodies, pretty harmonies, Fairlight on acoustic guitar, Nelson on ukulele, both donned with chaps, it’s no wonder that the pair have been voted the “Cutest band around” by local publications. What makes the talented duo work so well?
“There are no “no’s” in mmhmm”- Fairlight says. “mmhmm”- agrees Nelson.
