Heather is the Programming Manager for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. She works to bring in the programming throughout the year through the various theaters in the District like the Byham and the Benedum Center. Heather talks to us about the creative energy in Pittsburgh and how artists worldwide know all about Pittsburgh. Learn more about the importance of the Cultural Trust at www.TrustArts.org and follow/like them on social media @CulturalTrust
The Regal Sweet Band is a band of veterans of the punk/indie/traditional rock n’ roll sound. As Jackson says the Regal Sweet is a 7-man band so ‘we never stand a chance at making money’ but it isn’t about that for them, it’s all about the music. If you missed them at TRAF, check them out on their website www.TheRegalSweet.com to see where they’ll be next. Facebook: The Regal Sweet Instagram: @the_regal_sweet
