New YouTube Channel!

 I recorded a lot of videos at Poetry Lounge last year, and I mean A LOT. I finally settled on YouTube as the best place to share them, so here it is: The Marvelous Ms. Mirvana's Channel. I am working my way backwards through my timeline, so here are some of the more recent shows I recorded. 

Guns of Brixton, December 2024

Wander Oak, January 2025

I also went to a lot of big shows - concerts, not at Poetry Lounge. Here's what I got from The Smithereens:

February: "Make it Be Spring"

Here is your preview of February bands at Poetry Lounge in Millvale, Pittsburgh, PA! It's going to be kind of a mellow ride through the shortest month. Lots of indie-folk-acoustic type stuff. 

25.2 February - “Make it be spring”

This schedule is accurate as I can make it, but is subject to change. There is also a lot more than just bands going on at Poetry Lounge. Click here for the latest Poetry Lounge schedule of events.
