After eagerly waiting for months, I got to see Pittsburgh’s greatest duo The Living Street at the Milvale Music festival.
Most of their shows are 21+ since they mostly perform at local bars in the Pittsburgh area. Being at the ripe age of 19, I unfortunately cannot go into a bar or I would be at every one of their shows. I was so happy to see they were performing a show for all ages. I had some really good BBQ food from a food truck, and got to catch up with Nick and Edward.
The Living Street were in the middle of their spring east coast tour and excited to be home with their friends and family. They performed my favorite song “Two Dark Hours” which was written on their way home From a crazy trip to Las Vegas. They also performed and unreleased song about their loving and close friendship. Nick and Edward have been friends since they were little. They both grew up in Lower Burrell which is about 45 minutes outside of the city of Pittsburgh. They have been best friends through thick and thin and you hear that through their music, and see how strong their chemistry is on stage. Their set list was short but very special. It warmed my heart seeing everyone dance and clap to songs such as “Jealous Ghosts” and “Home on the Road.” Nick and Edward sounded amazing and fed off of the powerful energy the crowd gave.
As I walked around looking at the art and different food trucks met many cool people who love The Living Street, or even grew up with them. They may not be the biggest musicians in the world but everyone in Pittsburgh loves them and us over at Banded will continue to support them as they are so passionate about music.
