Zinnia's Garden is a Pittsburgh based ethereal rock band bringing you sublime moody vibes, with all four members surging in and out of harmony across a rich multi- dimensional musical terrain.
Feralcat and the Wild is a 6-piece prog rock/jazz fusion band from Pittsburgh, PA featuring Feralcat (saxophone), Emmanuel Berrido (keyboards/synth), Aedan Symmons (guitar), Matt Elias (guitar), Chris "Trip" Trepagnier (bass) and Allen Bell (drums). With deliberate use of a saxophone in place of a vocalist, Feralcat and the Wild treads the path of an instrumentalist who strays from pre-existing musical constructs. Their music uses sweeping lyrical melodies over heavy guitar-driven rhythms to create a sound that can be both heard and felt deeply. Influences like Underoath and Circa Survive are as treasured as those of Esperanza Spalding and Robert Glasper. Their songs break barriers and melt faces, stimulating the mind with improvised saxophone music that simultaneously rocks the listener onto their dancing feet. With the band’s first full length album, Disassembly, they made a musical style that wouldn’t be put in a box. It is chaotic and daring, and yet fully-realized; and most of all, it's as punk as can be.

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage-until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, RADIUM GIRLS traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, RADIUM GIRLS offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science." - Dramatic Publishing
