Gallery Crawl & WYEP’s Summer Music Festival

by Emily Bennett

There is a lot of events going on this weekend and I hope to make it out to some of them. It’s going to be hard since I have a friend coming in from CA and there’s events going on north of Pittsburgh I have to make it to as well. But enough about my busy schedule; here’s two events you should check out this weekend.

Tonight is the Gallery Crawl downtown, where you can check out up and coming artists, hear local bands and eat and drink for free. You can’t beat that.
The Crawl will be taking place in various galleries, including the Wood Street Galleries, SPACE, Show Here, 707 Penn Gallery, Future Tenant and more. You can check out the map in this week’s City Paper, or at the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s website.
It starts at 5:30 and ends around 9pm this evening. There is also a couple of afterparties at places like Trilogy and on the Theater Square’s Parking Garage Rooftop. I’ve never personally been on that rooftop, but sounds kind of interesting.
I hope to make it out tonight after I hit up a Community Days out in my hometown, but if not, I will definitely be at WYEP’s Summer Music Festival.

WYEP
The Summer Music Festival starts this evening at the World Cafe, featuring Jon Check and Kim Richey at 6pm and 8pm.
Then on Saturday, the Ike Reilly Assasination, Moe. and Sinead O’Connor will be at the Cafe, however both Moe. and Sinead O’Connor are already sold out. Ike Reilly Assasination starts at noon.
If you’d still like to see Moe. and Sinead O’Connor, head to the outdoor festival on Saturday at Allegheny Landing in the North Side, by Isabelle and 6th Street. I know I am extremely curious to see Sinead O’Connor perform live; she actually has some pretty decent songs.

Here’s the schedule for Saturday:
Jon Check: 4-4:40pm
Ike Reilly Assassination: 5:05-5:55pm
Kim Richey: 6:20-7:10pm
An Acoustic Evening with Sinead O’Connor: 7:30-8:45pm
moe.: 9:15-10:30pm

Blankets, picnic baskets, children and dogs are all welcome according to WYEP’s website, where you can check out the details.
