Acousticafe Songwriter Series
ft. Travis Dodge, Maleena, Art D

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm
Mr. Smalls Cafe
Travis Dodge: Originating from rural Minnesota, Travis Dodge is a local Pittsburgh performer who blends punk, pop, and rock to produce a unique style of songwriting. Using poignant and personal lyrics he creates songs that are as catchy as they are moving.
Maleena: Maleena is a Pittsburgh-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Drawing from her own life experiences, her songs are both deeply personal and universally relatable. With three albums under her belt, Maleena has a large catalog of music spanning from acoustic driven singer-songwriter tracks, to top-40 style pop songs, and even hardcore punk tracks.
Art D: Raised on Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Odetta and more, Art brings OG vibes to his music. An Acousticafe regular, Art enjoys an eclectic approach to his music. He employs Travis-style finger-picking, weird capos, and good ol’ fashioned blues licks. Art’s been writing and singing a mix of topical songs and with a few love songs with the help of his Tabby/Bengal mix, Mettha.
