PSST People's Song SocieTea

PSST People's Song SocieTea Monthly salon of art, ideas & current events 🎶☕️
Last Thursday every month
Bantha Tea | 7pm | Pittsburgh, PA
Come curious ~ leave judgement at the door. PSST!

Free for all. (People’s Song SocieTea) is a small, community-centered gathering where artists share songs or poems (etc.) inspired by current events, followed by conversation. Prescheduled performers bring one piece, introduce why the topic matters to them and explain their piece then perform. It’s a no-bigotry, curiosity-forward space focused on ideas and dialogue. Free to attend, donation-based,

and very intimate (4–6 performers per night). Last Thursday of every month, Bantha Tea Bar, 7-9ish

Interested performers - please message for details! (non-music performers also welcome!)

Brian Junker writes and sings folk/pop songs rendered on traditional instruments, vignettes of the lives all around us, and covers many great but often not well-known singer/songwriters. Brian anywhere community gathers around music.

Brian also supports local, regional and national acoustic performers in the uusongspace.com concert series! We're excited to see what Brain brings to PSST! ~ June 25 ~ Bantha Tea Bar

Art was being made while art was being made… at the May PSST!

The lovely Amy Mmhmm did a watercolor inspired by May PSST-er Joshua Tarquinio’s reading of his poem “Colors are Real” ~ and isn’t it beautiful?

Just one of many special moments at this month’s gathering. Thank you to all who came, and to the courageous vulnerability of our artists:

With her music once described as "sexy sloppy folk fusion," Jill Marie's songs shift from sparse acoustic dirges to jubilant funky melodies, all with a smile a mile wide. She embarks on weird sonic endeavors with and plays with the musical collective Guild of Gaia.

Jill really DOES have a smile a mile wide, and smiles heal like community does ~ come get some on May 28! ~ Bantha Tea Bar
