MEG-A-FEST
(A reunion of a scene that never died)
The Turpentiners, formed in 2008, are a Pittsburgh-based band that plays good time swing, Americana, blues, country, and jazz, in addition to many great originals. Their all-star lineup includes Ben Hartlage (formerly of Coal Train) on guitar and vocals; Megan Williams ( Liz Berlin of Rusted Root, and numerous other musical acts) on violin, mandolin, and vocals; Ron Mesing (whose recordings are in The Smithsonian) on dobro; Stu Braun (of Reggae band Truth and Rites) on harmonica; and Adam Frew (formerly of The Johnsons) on upright bass. They were voted as finalists in 2023 for “Best Americana Band” in The Pittsburgh City Paper and have played at numerous breweries, venues, and events around the TriState area, including Fallingwater, Three Rivers Arts Festival Main Stage, Carnegie Music Hall, City of Pittsburgh Events, Sweetwater Center for the Arts, Hartwood Acres, Tree Pittsburgh’s Arbor Aid, The Johnstown Folk and Flood Festival, and many others.
Becky and the 67's is an outlaw country band from Western Pennsylvania. In the spirit of their honky-tonk forefathers, they write songs about time-honored subjects such as problem drinking, heartbreak, and waking up naked outdoors. Bass player Adam (Lemmy) Thiesen is originally from Northern California and moved to Pittsburgh about a decade ago. His grandfather was a professional trumpet player, and Lemmy tinkered with various instruments until he settled on bass guitar in his early teens. His influences include Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. He brings a west coast country swagger to the band, and also serves as their fashion consultant. Guitar player Craig Larson was born on a dirt floor in a basement just south of Pittsburgh. Raised on Jax cheese balls and Andy Capp's Hot Fries, he quickly took to the musical stylings of the Flying Burrito Brothers, JJ Cale, and Captain Beefheart. If Craig ain't pickin' on his guitar, he's drinking muddy water and sleeping in a hollow log. Drummer Max Terasauro is a longtime musical workhorse, still thanklessly trudging through the detritus of the music biz. Well known for his charisma and love of cats, Max is also a real catch in the percussion department, having spent time in bands such as the Steel Miners, Nashville Pussy and many others. He and Becky connected while playing in the short-lived psychedelic/soul band Asphalt Mother. Singer and rhythm guitar player Becky Corrigan grew up in Hawley, PA and fell in love with country music as a teenager when she saw a movie about Patsy Cline. When she's not watching Dateline or hanging out at her trailer in New Alexandria, Becky is practicing the pentatonic scale, and writing songs about the many losers she's dated over the years. Becky has fronted numerous Pittsburgh bands, notably the Polish Hillbillies, Local Honey, and the Bloated Sluts. The band is currently in the studio and expects to release their first EP this summer.
Chris Cannon (aka Business Jazz) is an audio visual artist based in PITTSBURGH, PA, USA. Writing, recording, and performing since the 90s with acts that include the JOHNSONS, SKINKS, RAW BLOW, WEEKEND PANTS, in addition to occasional deputy duty for the MEKONS, Chris has primarily been working under the alias Business Jazz as of late. Business Jazz is part performance, part DJ set. Manipulating samples culled from library music, rare groove, and vintage soundtracks with one hand while playing smooth Moog synthesizer with the other. Live sets often include bits of sampled dialog, sometimes humorous, sometimes existential: a hazed out instrumental lecture about life and music itself perhaps.
