This Weekend
Last weekend was one of the best in the history of The Threepenny Opry. We extend special thanks to Rick Malis, Gerard Rohlf and Art Gazdik for putting the shows together, all of the amazing people who played for us, and the listeners who came out to share our love of music. If you missed it, don't despair. There's more. We have great acoustic music every Friday and Saturday.
On Friday, October 28, Mike Lamont hosts David Michael and Denise Baldwin. Denise is high energy. Artists don't like to be compared to other artists, but since you probably haven't heard Denise, think of Melissa Etheridge. And David has played all around the country.
On Saturday, October 29, Jack Erdie hosts Doug McCarty (songwriter from West Virginia), Dave Wells, and Sam Flesher. Doug taught Jack Erdie half of everything he knows, and in addition to his musical pursuits, Doug is an avid explorer of caves. Dave Wells and Sam Flesher are, in all honesty, largely the inspiration for efforts like The Threepenny Opry. Though neither pursues music as a full-time occupation, Sams songs have been heard and performed all around the world, and Daves ten best songs are as good as the ten best songs of anybody youd care to name.
As you may already know, we start early so you can bring your kids or get a babysitter. There is no cover charge, though we DO ask for donations. And the series is sponsored by Calliope, The Pittsburgh Folk Music Society.
