MAR 2, Friday – 2nd URBAN FUSION
LIVE - 8:00PM - $5.00 - 412-363-4550 The Union Project, 801 N. Negley
Ave, Highland Park. Local singer/songwriters Clark Slater, Tony Lee, and
Todd Adleff will take the stage. A first Friday concert series centered on
live music, uniting people and restoring space. The three performers of the
evening have gained fans and acclaim both locally and nationally. Clark Slater,
who was with the popular regional band PUSH before going solo, has been praised
continually by local media over the last two years. “His rich and smoky vocals
and refreshingly rockin’ sound stand out amidst a bland singer-songwriter
uprising,” said Ashlee Green of the Post-Gazette. Song Writers Monthly describes
Todd Adleff as having “a crisp and rootsy sound that has an honest shot of
cracking radio in a big way!" Tony Lee has performed at the region’s finest
venues and opened for such diverse acts as Chicago, Marshall Tucker and The
Monkees.

MAR 15, Thursday – CAP GUN QUARTET
– 7:00PM - $5.00 - Club Café 56-58 South 12th Street, South Side 412-431-4950.
This show is the first in a while without our recent guest poets, so we'll be
bringing the big amps. Opening up will be the Improv Project, featuring my good
friend and great bass player Eric Riebling. “When Pittsburgh’s erstwhile
defenders of the avant-jazz-rock keep, the Water Shed 5tet, called it quits, it
provided Pittsburgh’s cultural map with a shake-up of Soviet Union separation
proportions. It can be argued that none of the post-Water Shed groups that have
sprung up in recent times rival their parent in balancing somewhat wide appeal
with sheer musical inventiveness.
