About the Gig: Hartwood Acres is Cool!

When we first embarked on this project, the team decided that music was a big part of the 80's and 90's scene. and should also be a big component of our Rad Era car event.
Soundtracks from movies were popular during the period and sometimes movies got made because of the songs.. "Okay, fine... Fer sure, fer sure."  Music and cars just fit well together in that 80's & 90's era.  The Miami Vice television show pioneered the use of current popular music and musicians in their shows and that tradition has carried on to this day in television and movies. Need was say more than Bueller?… Bueller?… Bueller? before a Ferrari comes to mind?

Hartwood Acres, the Home of Rock n Rad!

So, we approached the folks at Allegheny County to talk about holding our event at Hartwood Acres Amphitheater on a Sunday afternoon before one of their free concert series evenings. 

"We can bring some people to the park and celebrate the 80's & 90's in the afternoon if you guys can book an 80's or 90's band for the evening to round it out." we told them. 

And they, where. AWESOME! They loved the idea!

They already have food trucks, craft beer an porta-johns at the park so we can just plug things in earlier in the day and rock into the evening with rad tunes.
Rock n Rad Stage 2020
The Rock n Rad Stage. Yes! We have our own stage for the afternoon!
We worked the with team at Allegheny County to plan out some of the big logistics for our event. They helped us get a stage for the afternoon just for Rock n Rad!  You're really not going to want to miss this inaugural event!
If you haven't been to Hartwood Acres you should plan a trip before our Rock and Rad event and get a lay of the land.  Check out their event schedule. for the Summer Concert Series which should be updated by early Feburary.

It's really an amazing venue and it's what makes Allegheny County a really terrific place to call home..
According to Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald “One of the great traditions of summer is our free concert series at the Hartwood Acres Park amphitheater,” . “The Summer Concert Series has an exciting mix of styles that will appeal to music lovers of all ages. Whether you’re a frequent attendee, or have never been to one of our concerts, we hope you’ll join us for a great summer of live music, food trucks and craft beer.”
