Butler Street Revival as The Allman Brothers with Chuck Leavell:
Butler Street Revival are a Pittsburgh local musician super group playing the music of the Allman Brothers. The band features guitarists Mike Minda (The Commonheart) and Glen Strother (Norside Organ Trio), organist Randy Baumann (WDVE), John Pergal (The Pawnbrokers) in the role of the late Gregg Allman, bassist Dave Busch (Wreck Loose), drummer Shawn McGregor (The Commonheart), percussionist Dino Lopreiato (Chaibaba), and pianist Chuck Leavell (Allman Brothers, Rolling Stones).
Chuck Leavell:
In 1972 having just turned 20 years old, Leavell was asked to join the Allman Brothers Band. The first album he recorded with the band was Brothers and Sisters, which included the classics “Ramblin’ Man” and “Jessica.” The album hit number one on Billboard’s Pop charts, and he went on to record several more albums with them before the Allmans temporarily disbanded in 1976.
Chest Fever as The Band:
Chest Fever is comprised of members of the San Diego Music Award winning rock band Mrs. Henry, including keyboardist Jody Bagley, guitarist Dan Cervantes, bassist Blake Dean, and drummer Chad Lee. Each a talented lead vocalist on their own, the group setting gives them a chance to combine their talents in an incendiary celebration of melody and verse. The group also features horn player and arranger Jesse Audelo of Sure Fire Soul Ensemble and Fresh Veggies Micro Brass, echoing the contributions of arrangers John Simon and Allen Toussaint to The Band’s original music.
theCAUSE as The Grateful Dead:
theCAUSE is a band consisting of 4 Pittsburgh musicians who have all been around the proverbial block. Playing tunes from Grateful Dead, Phish, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and More, including some very tasty originals, theCAUSE packs a punch while still paying close attention to the delicate touch. The players are Eric "Pappy" Weingrad on guitar and vocals (Double Dose, Pappy's Blues Junction), David Tauberg on bass and vocals (Powers Run Band, Hard to Handle, Cherylann Hawk), Mike South on drums (Left for Dead, Sticky, Russ Lauf Band), and Pittsburgh blues veteran Jill Paone Simmons who brings a whole new dimension to theCAUSE on vocals and continues to rock with us today.
