"Pittsburgh, PA has been my hometown for the past 16 years. I cherish
the time I’ve had in the Steel City but I’ll always be a Vermonter at
heart. I was born and raised in a small town called Swanton. Swanton
is 45 miles south of Montreal, Quebec and 35 miles north of Burlington,
VT. I grew up listening to some of the best players out there, from
Phish to Nobby Reed."

Favorite thoughts,
experiences about Pittsburgh?
I am very intrigued with the progressive movement occurring presently with Pittsburgh. The people have whipped up a clever blend of sports, entertainment and art without consciously knowing it. I'm happiest when meeting new people and Pittsburgh never lets me down in that department. I strongly believe the best times in Pittsburgh are approaching. The art-music community is beginning to trust one another and appreciate the scene that's rising. Promoters can complete the puzzle by bringing it all together and showcasing local talent. Pittsburgh's art/music production is always fresh and available to fans. I like new songs and the musicians in Pgh are knocking out some good ones.

Thanks, Rob. Good luck on the campaign, man. I am always here to support local musicians.
