Pittsburgh Artist of the Week

Pittsburgh’s Abstract Theory has grown. The jazzy hip-hop project from Louie Petrone is now a fully-functioning live band with a new album on the way. Their new song, “Caught In The Deep,” is an agonizing journey through unrequited love.

Steve Ippolito is a drummer who’s quite adept at crafting soundscapes that can transport you to different musical worlds — if you let them. His latest release, “Silence Is Golden,” revels in knowing when to shut up and watch the chaos fly by.

Pittsburgh jam band The Other Bugs are the kind of group that can lock into a groove and let the music call the shots. Their song “Bug Out” is an invitation to connect with yourself through music.

Growing old isn’t guaranteed and as Pittsburgh songwriter Max Rosen sees it, it’s an incredible gift. Growing up and weathering changes inspire his new song “Turn December.”

Bill Deasy seems like he’s got it all together, but just like the rest of us, he’s still a work in progress. A familiar name in Pittsburgh music, Bill’s Western Pennsylvania meets Laurel Canyon sound feels like running into an old friend and spending the rest of the day together catching up. Listen to "Work In Progress" here!

Aubrey Burchell’s cheery exterior doesn’t always match up with what she’s feeling inside. Her new song “Spinning Out” expertly conjures the feelings of an anxious person with a big smile.

Pittsburgh psych rock band Grand Piano are calling it quits! The group, fronted by enigmatic singer and guitarist Zak Kane, will leave us with a mind-bendingly uninhibited final album, "Information Superhigh."

Rocket Loves Blue is an Outlaw Americana band from Josh and Nikki Shapiro. Their latest release — “Big Shot Money” — came to life after spending some time at the Westmoreland County Fair.

With so many different kinds of zombies threatening human existence in the movies and on TV, it’s hard to know for sure how to take care of them. Lucky for us, Scotts Roger has the answer.

Pittsburgh multi-instrumentalist Zack Leya loves to write songs, and he finds inspiration even in the most mundane situations. His song “Hang Out” came together after killing some time with friends at a local bar.
