Hi! I moved here from Austin in May. It’s def a bummer seeing all the shows going through Austin and skip here - they go to Philly and/or Cleveland over Pittsburgh most of the time. I honestly haven’t put much effort into finding a “scene” here but out of the local stuff I’ve stumbled on it’s been all good. It’s just not a real big part of the culture here like it is/was in Austin. I could def put in more effort but it also doesn’t seem promoted as much. I did check out shows at the local music fest here and most was metal/metal adjacent. I’m a bit more into Americana/soul/funk/indie rock and it very well could also be a genre thing. Seeing Angel Olsen Friday tho so that’s exciting. My partner is into country and there is more of the pop stuff that comes through at the larger venues.
