Well hello!
Did you have a busy weekend? Me too! I think tonight's "Ladies Night" at Connections should hit the spot. Come on down to Oakland's best kept secret for a chill night of mellow tunes.
A quiet coffeeshop/lounge, three chicks, and their pianos...and maybe a guitar.
(p.s. ladies night refers to the performers, not attendees. So yes...males are also encouraged to come)
Bye for now. -joy

Check out the write-up on Good Morning in the August issue of Pittsburgh Magazine (pg 33).

Also, there are a number of great shows this weekend, including Connections, Mellon Park, and the EastSide Borders.
This Thursday you can find me at Club Cafe with Brooke Annibale and her band. Brooke opened for the Good Morning CD release and this should be a pretty great night of soul music.
