Even social butterflies will, at times, feel a bit of alienation. Pittsburgh songwriter Anthony Vincent Jardine tackles that sense of being alone with your thoughts while the world spins on on his new song “Space Ghost.”

WYEP pays tribute to the artists we lost in the summer of 2024.

Last year, Mosaic Records, the respected jazz reissue label, released a six-CD box set of recordings by pianist Conrad Yeatis “Sonny” Clark (1931-1963), originally released by Blue Note records from 1957 to 1961. No longer a cult figure, Clark is now viewed worldwide as both a titan of the hard bop style and a Pittsburgh jazz icon.

Founded by local steel magnate Andrew Carnegie in 1898, the library sits atop a hill between East 10th and East 11th avenues in what is technically Munhall. It services a number of communities in the Monongahela River Valley.

Love is sweet. It fills us up and inspires us to be the best versions of ourselves. But love is also sad at times and the Pittsburgh band Dream The Heavy capture love’s occasional melancholy vibe on their new song “Candy.”

You think your job is hard? Try baring your soul and putting it out there for people to judge. Phew! Pittsburgh dreamgaze band Colatura tackle the art of making art on their new song “Suffer Dude.”

Thanks so much to everyone who came out for the Northside Music Festival! It was great seeing so many of you at the WYEP tent. See you next year!

Sobriety is a difficult process, so do your best to take it easy on your loved ones who may be struggling. Anne Eliza — a Pittsburgh-based piano pop duo — tackle the feeling of that constant struggle on their song “Devil Behind My Door.”

The Pittsburgh-based dark wave band may have invented and entirely new musical genre with their song “Mercy.” They call it goth-grass, and while it’s a bit dark, the song was inspired by a cute rescue kitty!

The Northside Music Festival returns next weekend with more than 70 Pittsburgh artists performing at different venues in one of Pittsburgh’s most historic neighborhoods.
