Missing live performances? The Bicknell Family Center for the Arts offers this solution:
Tune in to the Pittsburg Virtual Festival of the Arts, a weekly performance series that rolls out at 7 p.m. July 1 with some of the area’s most talented musicians and dancers — many of them with a connection to PSU.
The Bicknell Center staff are working to record the performers on stage throughout June, then will stream them as one-hour concerts you can view from your living room!
The first concert: The J3 Band, playing a broad mix of classic rock and roll, blues and swing, featuring the diverse vocal and instrumental talents of all of its members. You'll hear tunes ranging from “The Thrill is Gone,” made famous by BB King in 1970, the 1972 hit “Your Momma Don’t Dance” by Loggins and Messina, “Caldonia,” first recorded in 1945 by Louis Jordan, “Like a Hurricane” written by Neil Young in 1975, “Eye in the Sky” released by The Alan Parsons Project in 1982, and R.E.M.’s 1991 hit “Losing my Religion.”
