Hello Pittsburgh!  I've been MIA, I know.  I've started a new job and trying to get acclimated to this new lifestyle is tougher than I thought. As an official 9-5'er, I'm starting to see the need to savor each and every precious moment of the weekend, which is why I bring you a new segment of the blog: Weekend Wednesdays! By mid-week, I'm sure you're dying to get out and enjoy the weekend, so here's a little help making those weekend plans. Get in touch if you have an awesome event you would like to share for Weekend Wednesdays!  Enjoy the first weekend of Spring! Hope to see you around!

Top 5 Tuesday | Open Mic Night

I pick up a guitar every once in a while  - it relaxes me and happens to be one of my favorite things to do with some of my closest friends. I've even played a couple mics before (some more successful than others). I think I enjoy playing music because it's been a part of my life since I was young - my grandpa always kept a guitar in his garage and listened to Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. And it just so happens to be Johnny Cash's birthday today.  So strap on your guitars, dust off your music books, and get to one of these awesome open mics - or just attend one, you would be amazed at how talented people are!  In light of Johnny's birthday, here are my top 5 favorite open mics:

Club Cafe

Considered Pittsburgh's #1 Open Stage Club Cafe  hosts their AcousticCafe's open stage with Mike Why. Fashioned after some of the high profile and wildly successful open stages in Nashville and New York City, AcoustiCafe's open stage intends to create a supportive environment for artists to network with their peers, test new music or haul out old favorites, and most importantly, extend their reach in the local scene. Every Monday at 7pm - No cover charge! 


Eclipse Lounge

Every Wednesday from 8 -12am, Eclipse Lounge hosts their very successful open mic. It's quickly becoming one of the top places to hang out on a Wedsday in the city!



Bloomfield Bridge Tavern
