Performance

Lohio’s music shifts between intimate, instrumentally rich folk songs and midwestern infused, Neil Young-esque indie rock. Singer/songwriter Greg Dutton’s hushed vocals and the bands knack for tackling a range of genre’s draws comparisons to artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Yo La Tengo, and Wilco. We’re proud to host them live in our studios.

We’re pleased to host the wonderful a cappella singing group, White Noise, live in our studios. This accomplished group, which has sang with the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra, performs standards and original compositions.

This week we’re joined by the very talented Aaron Jenzten and his band, who make beautiful, cinematic pop music. Aaron’s voice is deep and soulful, and serves as a wonderful vehicle for his insightful, poetic lyrics.

The Pittsburgh Songwriters Circle is an independent program of Calliope: the Pittsburgh Folk Music Society, and is dedicated to exploring, promoting and practicing the art and craft of song writing.
