It’s October 1, and the temperatures, the leaves, and a bit of rain are already falling… Time to buff up my murder ballad, Charlie, and learn a couple more spooky tunes for the season…

September recap…

Oh, it was a busy month…

On Saturday Aug 31 I had a blast at the Swissvale Farmers’ Market, playing by myself at 9am and then joined by East End Appalachian Jam from 11 to 1.  And then in the afternoon the East End Appalachian Jam folks convened again on my porch for snacks and more music, for International Play Music on the Porch Day!

On Monday September 9 I returned  to  Three Rivers Outdoor Company for another fun show!  This time I was accompanied by a great pedal steel guitar player, Leah Mcp, and a guest singer, Mary Fleck!

Had a lot of fun a few days later on September 13 playing Norwegian Wood on the Appalachian Sitar (that’s clawhammer banjo to you) for Beth Claussen’s Porch Concert Series!

I was back at the Bloomfield Saturday Market on September 14, and at the Swissvale Farmers’ Market on September 21 (with Joy Street) and September 28 (with East End Appalachian Jam)!

October Music!

On Wednesday October 9 from 11:30am to 1:30pm I’ll be playing the  Lunch and Live Music Series at Mellon Square! Take your midday break outside in this beautiful urban oasis & enjoy food from local vendors!  Thanks to  Make Music Pittsburgh, who made this series possible!

Then on Saturday October 12, it’s back to the Swissvale Farmers’ Market.  I’ll play songs and tunes from 9am to 11am, and then East End Appalachian Jam will play from 11am to 1pm.

On Saturday October 26, it’s a double-double header… From 10am to noon I’ll play songs and tunes at the Bloomfield Saturday Market, and then from 7pm to 9pm I’ll split a bill with Deborah Brooks for the Starlite Lounge Songwriters’ Invitational Series.  We will bring boo-tiful music!

As always, full information and late-breaking events on brianjunkermusic.com.

Hope to see you out in the world!
