MONDAY DECEMBER 1, 2025 - WYEP 91.3 & Straub Brewing Presents: AcoustiCafe Open Stage with host Danny Rectenwald ft. Mark Williams & Obscure Spirits with special guests The EastShore Chorale!
Theme. RECONCILIATION
For example, reconciling a desire to list our host, two features and a special guest in an event title with a 100-character limit! But also more poetic and musical interpretations of the concept 🙂
DANNY RECTENWALD is a true Guitarist Around Town, playing classical instrumentals, teaching, backing singer/songwriters like Molly Alphabet and Mark Dignam, and leading the Fusion Groove band Favorite Band among many other pursuits!! Find out more at

MARK WILLIAMS hosts Hello, Humans! - a show our neighbor Mark Williams created to give kids and adults tools and language they can use to introduce mindfulness to their everyday lives.

OBSCURE SPIRITS writes "we are an indie-alternative thing and are a little lost perhaps now more than ever" - we've seen Brian of Obscure Spirits perform solo a few times at AC, psyched to hear the whole band!
THE EASTSHORE CHORALE - it's become a happy tradition to welcome The EastShore Chorale as special guests as they kick off their seasonal concerts - They will perform Fri Dec 19 at Waverly Church in Regent Square and Sat Dec 20 at Calvary Church in the North Side - The EastShore Chorale is a non-sectarian, intergenerational community choir based in Regent Square, Pittsburgh. As part of Eastman Community Projects, a non-profit that focuses communities on becoming more art-centric, the choir seeks to uplift and enrich the community through the performance of a wide range of music, and to provide an opportunity for people to contribute to Pittsburgh’s thriving arts scene.
