Allegheny City BrewingThe Joy of Coastal Spring in Maine: Guided Forest Bathing
Experience the gentle renewal of spring during a guided forest bathing session at Lafcadio’s Woods Preserve. Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, this calming outing centers on slowing down, breathing deeply, and noticing the small seasonal details like unfurling ferns, birdsong, and the scent of fresh earth. The experience covers a relaxed half to one mile and takes place entirely in a quiet woodland setting. Guidance includes an unhurried walk, several individual sensory invitations that last around ten to fifteen minutes each, and a peaceful tea gathering to close. As a group mindfulness practice held outdoors, forest bathing is associated with benefits such as a steadier pulse, lowered blood pressure, support for the immune system, reduced stress, and a boost to creativity. This program is free and open to the public, and registration is required. Tripod camp chairs are provided. Dress in layers for changing conditions and bring a rain jacket or umbrella if the forecast calls for showers. Insects are typically minimal early in the season, yet bug repellent is welcome and will be available. You may also bring water or a blanket if desired. The event proceeds in light rain, while unsafe high winds or storms may prompt a cancellation that will be shared by email and social media. For the comfort of the group, dogs are not permitted. Please note that there are no bathrooms on site.

In The KitchenSalsa 1 Beginner Bootcamp: Fundamentals, footwork, partnerwork & connection with Vincent & Rachel
New to salsa or looking to refresh the basics, this beginner-friendly class is the ideal starting point. You do not need a partner. Even if you feel uncoordinated on the dance floor, the focus is on building confidence through fundamentals that support speed, balance, and style as you grow. Each session reviews the basic step and introduces one foundational move, including right and left turns, the cross body lead, variations on the basic, and attention to frame, technique, and connection. The basic step stays consistent in every class. Attending for four consecutive weeks is encouraged but not required, and many dancers choose to repeat the series before moving on to Salsa 1.5. Participants are welcome to train at their current level or revisit earlier stages in the learning path. Pricing options are available: $120 for 12 classes, $75 for 6 classes, $60 for 4 classes, or $20 for a single drop in. Class packages do not expire and can be applied to any recurring class series, and they are not valid for workshops.

CrossBody Dance Downtown, 422 Wood St., Pittsburgh, PA 15222Live Album Series: Tim
TV's Norm presents The Replacements' TIM from start to finish as part of the Live Album Series at Bottlerocket Social Hall. The performance traces the album’s wide sweep of rock and roll influences, moving from the Roy Orbison shaded mood of Swingin Party to the college radio charge of Left of the Dial, with the honky tonk bite of Waitress in the Sky and the Big Star glow of opener Hold My Life. Written in the same era, Can't Hardly Wait also figures into the story of this period. Produced by Tommy Ramone, the record carries its own lore, including talk of a rough mix and the SNL dressing room chaos that led to a ban from 8H. Dive bar rock rings out at Bottlerocket as TV's Norm brings this classic album to life.
Bottlerocket Social HallAndre Ward
Experience the artistry of Chicago-born saxophonist André Ward, whose sound is steeped in the city’s jazz and R&B traditions and shaped by inspirations like Earth, Wind & Fire and the Phenix Horns of the late Don Myrick. His journey from an after-school music program to Tennessee State University and Berklee propelled him onto major stages, first with Lalah Hathaway’s touring band and later alongside Will Downing and Freddie Jackson, where he spent four years as musical director. Ward’s breakout solo single, a Bryan Adams remake titled Everything I Do (I Do For You), topped the smooth jazz charts and opened the door to a run of acclaimed releases. Feelin’ You, Steppin’ Up, and Crystal City all reached the Top 10 on the Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, and Caution climbed to number one on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz chart. His latest project, AFRICA RISING, reflects his influences with tributes to Earth, Wind & Fire on Secret Place featuring Chantel Hampton and to The Emotions on Don’t Ask My Neighbors, alongside the single Casualty of Love with K’Jon and a distinctive take on Sade’s Kiss of Life. Expect a polished, soulful performance that highlights a celebrated catalog and decades of stage experience.
City WineryCalliope Presents Snappin' Bug Stringband

The music features fiddle and banjo alongside the fife, honoring the heritage Bayard recorded. With Barbara Rosner on upright bass, the group performs a body of work heard at festivals, dances, workshops, and other occasions.
Trivia Night @ Mineos Pizza House (Pittsburgh, PA) Hosted by Picking The Brain Trivia
Put your knowledge to the test at Mineo’s Pizza House with Picking The Brain Trivia. Themes change every week, and teams compete through four or more rounds of seven questions each. Every round includes a bonus question that grows in value as the game goes on. Correct answers are typically worth 20 points unless otherwise noted. At the end of each round the host collects answer cards, checks and tallies scores, returns the cards, then reviews the answers. The team with the highest score takes the round, and once an answer card is turned in the responses are final. This is a true brain game, so no phones or smart devices are allowed. Laptops, tablets, smart watches, and all outside help are off limits, including during breaks. Please do not call out answers, and always submit one clear response per question. The host has the final say on rule interpretations and any disputes. During any Name That Tune round or game, each song clip is played twice for no more than five seconds. Full credit requires both the artist and the song title, while listing only one earns half credit. There are several ways to pick up bonus points. The first team to bring up its answer card can earn a bonus, and everyone must stay seated with no throwing, tripping, or body checking. Each team may select one bonus round for the night in which correct answers are doubled and wrong or blank answers deduct 10 points. Extra points can also be earned for the best or funniest team name for 50 or more points, for winning a tiebreaker for 20 points, and for a perfect score in a round for 50 points. Social media can boost the total as well, with 10 points for a public check-in up to 40 per team, 15 points per selfie with the check-in up to 60 per team, and 20 points per video or boomerang with the check-in up to 80 per team. Posts must be public, tag @PickingTheBrainTrivia and the venue, and include the hashtag #PickingTheBrainTrivia.

Tavern PizzaThe Work of Repair: Letting the Warrior Rest
Many people have moved through life like warriors, staying vigilant, capable, and responsible while carrying more than their share. This offering creates space to set that armor down, redefining strength as integration, attunement, and a more whole way of living. Inspired by the idea that new myths are being formed in our time and that models for an individual woman’s journey have often been scarce, it invites participants to consider the legacy they are actively shaping for those who follow. Designed for those in midlife who identify as empaths, highly sensitive people, intuitives, or neurodivergent, it honors both the gifts and the strain of heightened awareness. Individuals who identify as women or woman-aligned are centered, while welcoming those who feel aligned with this perspective. Through guided exercises, personal reflection, and relational practice, the group witnesses one another, learns to read internal signals, regulate responses, and engage in relationships with greater clarity and intention. It addresses patterns like chronic over-responsibility, caregiver fatigue, and intergenerational dynamics that once provided stability yet no longer fit who you are becoming. The work reaches beyond insight alone, focusing on repair, unburdening, and the creation of healthier patterns. Participants explore themes of shame, guilt, emotional intelligence, and forgiveness as part of developing a more attuned way of relating to self and others. A brief interest questionnaire is part of the process, and a hybrid format may be possible, with additional details to come.

Led by vocalist Sam Cieri with John Merritt on bass and Abel Tabares on drums, the group balances raw, candid singing with punchy, nuanced arrangements, stacking big hooks over lush textures. From the first note, the mood shifts and a shared rush of feeling takes over. Cieri formed the band in New York after years spent honing his craft from South Florida bars to Vegas gigs to a Broadway tour, always steering by songwriting. That focus helped shape a sound grounded in honesty, tension, longing, and the courage to voice what often goes unsaid. Since 2019, the band has cultivated a devoted following through creative output and close connection with listeners. Their single What Makes You Sad has drawn close to 20 million plays on Spotify, their take on Tina Turner’s The Best is nearing 30 million, and their overall catalog surpasses 80 million streams. They have also grown a large online community with more than 1.8 million followers on TikTok and over a million on Instagram. Their discography includes a run of self-written and self-produced singles and EPs, along with the 2025 debut LP an Attempt at Romantic. SPIN has highlighted the band’s vulnerability and drive, noting Cieri’s gritty, emotive delivery with touchpoints that recall Bruce Springsteen and Lewis Capaldi. At the heart of the album is a search for connection, a willingness to be brave and unsure at the same time, and an admission that independence and companionship can both matter deeply. After completing a successful North American headlining run in 2025, Nicotine Dolls continue moving forward with another record in the works for 2026. This show centers on honest lyrics, gravel-edged vocals, and dynamic soundscapes that aim straight for the heart.
