Fourth River is one of Pittsburgh’s finest up and coming grassroots bands. Appropriately named after the subterranean aquifer, Fourth River’s music streams from the Pittsburgh underground quenching the euphonious tastes of new fans with every performance.
Formed in the winter of 2005, Fourth River came to be when Bill Smith and Aaron Bennett (formerly of Patchwork Blu) contacted drummer Keith Ruffing (formerly of Pied Piper) to start a new project. Along with guitarist Shawn "Spar" Speer (Gruvbak) and newly relocated percussionist Pat Stehley (Pavlov's Roomate) the band discovered their common musical interests quickly. After the release of their first self titled album in the fall of 2007, Spar stepped down from the band and Pete Belski stepped in to fill his shoes. With the lineup solidified, Fourth River has made a very quick and favorable impression on the local Pittsburgh scene. Influenced by grassroots jam giants like the Grateful Dead, Phish, and others, and coupled with pure admiration of traditional jazz and seventies R&B, Fourth River creates an eclectic, unique and original style of music that you won’t want to miss.

With Flight of the Conchords type creativity (NG lead vocals Barney even resembles Brit), Nicos Gun's talents are far-reaching, with vocals akin to Prince, MGMT, and Empire of the Sun, to psychedelic undertones reminiscent of Ghostland, while all being rooted in bass and guitar true to pure rock, it's an eclectic collection of phenomenally orchestrated sounds." http://www.troysnoise.com/musicblog/2010/12/8/nicos-gun.html

Digital is a modern approach to creating, arranging, and producing songs. The group, founded by John Riley and Glenn Strother, embraces musical technology and creates a sound that is as organic as it is electronic. Live drums, tubed guitar amps, and electric basses combine with the new age sounds of synthetic basses, strings, and keyboards, to ensure both a high quality studio product and an exciting live show. Although the repetitive nature of electronic music exists with Digital, the songs are overshadowed with classical forms and melodic ideas. As a band, Digital does not use computers to define their sound, the musicians define the sound. Every song and every track is recorded digitally and is performed by a live musician.

The quartet has already shared the stage with acts such as moe., Keller Williams, Gongzilla, Perpetual Groove, Lotus, UMelt, and State Radio, while playing throughout the Northeast.

DREAM JOB, is exploding on the Pittsburgh scene. Three musicians, Ricardo Iamuuri, Barrett Black, and David Neuhart make-up this dynamic trio.
Barrett Black started playing cello at the age of four, classically trained in orchestras and quartets. Barrett attended Carnegie Mellon University, where he double majored in Music and Acting. He excelled at music in college where the atmosphere was more of a conservatory, but wanted more out of music. After playing other composers' music, he decided to start writing his own. Teaching himself how to play guitar, he played with a few friends until he started his own bands, including The Rising Sun, Dogs of March, and The Barrett Black Band. Barrett also worked as a model in New York and New Orleans, and has done some acting- stage and motion picture... he has also written a rock opera, “Indivisual”.
Ricardo “Iamuuri” is an honest, and soulful vocalist . His songs are highly celebrated within the circles of the music community in Pittsburgh. Iamuuri is a master, with a range that transcends traditional norms. His voice soars in the ears of his listeners. He’s a serious, spiritual songwriter dedicated to returning music to the role of a medium of soulful expression of substance. Coming from a family that honored the power of the Negro Spiritual, Ricardo has always been close to the source of spiritual music. His family choir, “The Gift of Song” laid a solid foundation for him to inherit the blessings of soulful expression, and he has not stopped moving forward ever since. In 2005 Ricardo Iamuuri completed his first solo project, which was released the following summer of 2006.
