The studio was recently filled with beautiful Celtic music, two cool guys and lots of lots of musical instruments! I lost count after five! Alan and Mike are two talented local musicians who came for portraits and videos to advertise for their upcoming Three Rivers Music Festival performance. Abbots Cross will play on Friday, June, 12 from 5-6 p.m. on the Acoustic Stage Gateway. Their sound is Celtic, traditional and modern, with some instrumental improvisation. Learn more about Abbots Cross here.

Going to the Three Rivers Arts Festival has been one of my favorite activities to do in Pittsburgh since I was a kid. I remember chasing my brother around the borders of Fort Pitt, playing with colorful streamers and listening to music. I also have my earliest memories of ordering international food there! Maybe I'll get gyros again this year.
