Hello Pittsburgh Friends :)
This beautiful art by Autumn Skye is a depiction of what I believe to be our mission during this time on Earth : To weave into existence a more beautiful, thriving planet. This is the underlying mission of everything I do and all the events I host and promote : To try my best to contribute to what author Charles Eisenstein calls "THE MORE BEAUTIFUL WORLD OUR HEARTS KNOW IS POSSIBLE."
Oftentimes, we lose track of this mission or the sense that the world is beautiful, because we get stuck in our own life challenges, or all the injustices and tragedies happening worldwide. But coming together in community is one of the best ways that I have found for increasing the chances that you get a GLIMPSE of what this more beautiful world could be. And so I will continue to do my part to bring people together in a spirit of community, love, respect, compassion, and sacredness.
And one musician who has been a MASSIVE positive influence on me over the past 12 years towards this mission is Chances R Good. He is returning to Pittsburgh for the 2nd time today (Thursday Sept. 5th) and we have actually moved the show BACK to being at the First United Methodist Church, where we will have plenty of room to dance. We are expecting 30 people currently, though we have plenty of space for more, if you would like to get a fresh GLIMPSE into a more beautiful and interconnected world :

Chances R Good played his first souled out show in Pittsburgh last year in October and we are excited to welcome him and his beautiful family back to Pittsburgh - First United Methodist Church 5401 Centre Ave. Pittsburgh PA 15232
Please enter on the side door (up the stairs) from the side parking lot, where you enter on Centre Ave. directly across from Panera Bread. There is also street parking on nearby streets. Please text me : 412-298-5341 if you can't find us for some reason.
Chances R Good, hailing from Crestone, CO creates metaspiritual RnB and Folk-Hop acoustic music that is perfect for family gatherings. His sound is upbeat and positive, designed to get everyone dancing and celebrating together. Rooted in the spirit of gratitude, his music brings joy and connection to the community.
