The Right Now Gets Over You

Hailing from the Windy City, The Right Now rolled into Pittsburgh this past Friday to bless the Steel Town with their soulful, sultry sound, nostalgic of vintage R&B. The 7-piece group's tunes combine the best of all soul worlds and seem to pull from artists like Fitz & the Tantrums, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Amy Winehouse and more. Chicago is known as being a melting pot of music, and this band is no different.  With lead singer Stefanie Berecz's powerful vocals and the soaring melodies emitting from the six men backing her up, The Right Now's vibe is one of collective effort. Nothing is forced, nothing is overdone. The group's sophomore album "Gets Over You" is a testament to this graceful act featuring upbeat numbers such as opener "I Can't Speak For You" and a ballad-based, sweltering hot "I Could Kiss You (I Could Cry)."

The group may have to battle with busy schedules and stresses of being on the road, but determination and outright damn good sound will keep them alive. Check out therightnow.com for more information and tour dates...like, right now ;)

Tarra Layne Takes on Funktry in the Iron City

This fiery blues and country singer moved to Nashville, Tenn., to pursue her dream of becoming an artist.  Although moving back to the home of the Grand Ole Opry is number one on her list, Tarra Layne is finding her niche in the Pittsburgh music scene, which she believes is set to becoming a big player in the entertainment industry.
