Erika Luckett. We are excited to host national recording artist Erika Luckett. Born in Mexico and raised in Venezuela and Brazil, she made her way to France as a teenager, playing in the subways where her own concoction of Folk/Latin/Jazz/Pop echoed in the underground. Her music radiates life and the wisdom culled from meeting the world head on with openness and an exuberant spirit. Most recently she was named Female Artist of the Year 2004 by Just Plain Folks.  Whether singing in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese, Erika Luckett’s music reminds us that beauty and a luminous heart transcend any boundary.

Pittsburgh's own Emily Pinkerton will open the concert.

$10 donation recommended for this month's show.

Riveting Rosies. This month's show is a Solstice Celebration presented by a new collective of Pittsburgh's finest women singer-songwriters: Eve Goodman, Stacy Mates (of the band Jack), Heather Kropf, Patti Spinner, Sue Gartland and Janet Ingram. It will be an evening of great music as they play, harmonize, and put their own special mark on each others songs. The Rosies promise to take you on a journey from the sublime to the ridiculous ... not necessarily in that order! Holiday treats will be for sale and the coffee is always free.
