The Furnace - Pittsburgh Original Music Showcase

Week 1 - R&B Night !

Artist 1 - Slam Band and Sam

BIO :

The Pittsburgh-based five-piece Slam Band and Sam is made up of Adam Vasko, Anthony Bello, Mark Jackovic, Mark Ondrey, and Nick Bello – five musicians with a vast and storied musical background. Fusing together elements of rock, jazz, and funk, Slam Band and Sam’s modus operandi is one of layered simplicity – one that puts music and the compositional process wholly first.

Pierce Dipner is a young Blues Musician and multi-instrumentalist from Pittsburgh, PA. At the young age of 8 he started to play the guitar and sing. By age nine he was also playing bass, drums, and cello. At 11 he discovered the Blues at a Youth Blues jam hosted by the Blues Society of Western PA and he has been hooked ever since. At the age of 13 he was selected by the BSWPA to perform in the 2017 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee where he got to showcase his talents at Mr. Handy’s Blues Hall on Beale Street. When Pierce returned to Pittsburgh, he began performing around Pittsburgh and surrounding areas and hasn’t stopped.
