Rusted Root

The Mall At Robinson
Robinson Township

Over the years I have seen the Root play in many diverse places including A.J. Palumbo Center, Chevrolet Amphitheater, Jack's on 13th, Star Lake, Conneaut Lake Park, PPG Plaza and Three Rivers Stadium. The Mall at Robinson may be the strangest. They were doing an in-store at the FYE but I assume that they wanted to have enough room for a crowd and set up at the food court (which, unfortunately, wasn't neccessary). I thought that they sounded surprisingly good with this line-up and the new songs weren't bad at all. They are playing Hartwood to close out the Allegheny County Summer Concert season on September 6 which sounds like a good time to me.

Pittsburgh Guitars
Southside

I was walking around Carson Street yesterday taking pictures when I stumbled into Pittsburgh Guitars. Mike was in there noodling around with bandmate Dirk Miller. I asked him if I could take a few shots. No problem. Extremely nice dude. I loved the Root back when they started. I actually saw one of their first shows in the TINY corner at Jack's Back Room! Whether you dig them or not, it's hard to argue that they are one of a handful of bands that actually made a name for themselves outside the city line.
