Can't play bluegrass with frozen fingers...
Okay winter... that's probably enough.
As we wait out the deep freeze, we'll be trying to warm yinz up at our monthly engagement, First Fridays Bluegrass at Allegheny City Brewing on the North Side, 7-10 p.m.
As the thaw sets in for good, we'll be returning to Big Rail Brewing in Grove City for their Black Knuckle music festival in April.
Hopefully by then, frigid fingertips will be a distant memory!
Whisper Nest (Millvale)
The Sweaty Already String Band hits the stage with a blend of traditional and modern bluegrass, along with some unexpected covers and original tunes steeped in the tradition of the Appalachian region where we all grew up.
We've been fortunate in recent years to share the stage with wonderful musicians like Fireside Collective, the Dirty Grass Players and the Steep Canyon Rangers.
And one of the best things about the local bluegrass community is how many pals we have with the talent to jump in and pick for an evening. We've been lucky enough to have Danny Rectenwald from the Favorite Band rollin' with us, along with regional friends like DeAnna Efaw, Megan Williams, Fiddlin' Ray Bruckman, Jason Ericsson and more!
