Look into the origin of the speakeasy, and you’re bound to come across Kate Hester, owner of an illegal McKeesport saloon. The legend, captured in an 1891 New York Times article, goes that when Hester’s customers, “a boisterous lot,” got too rowdy and risked drawing police attention, she would wag her finger and whisper sharply, “Speak easy, boys! Speak easy!” The expression took hold around the region, standing in for any illicit establishment that sold alcohol, and then made a national splash in the Times, giving Pittsburgh the dubious honor of coining the term.

1) What began as teenage time-passing in drummer Chris Culos’ Rockville, Md., basement soon became O.A.R.’s first album, The Wanderer—and the band’s been working ever since. With several platinum records, sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, and ten acclaimed studio albums to date, O.A.R. shows us how to transcend the constrictions that eras and styles often bestow on contemporary music; as their acronym suggests, “Of a Revolution” does not allow the passage of time to quiet them. If you need proof, you can see them in concert at Stage AE and you’ll have a chance to see O.A.R. meld indie-alt-pop themes from the last two decades. The band’s latest album is 2022’s The Arcade. Fitz and The Tantrums first big success came in 2010 when the band broke out in 2010 when the album Pickin’ Up the Pieces reached number one on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. The album generated several hits, including “MoneyGrabber,” “Don’t Gotta Work It Out,” and “Breakin’ the Chains of Love.” Fitz and the Tantrums followed up with 2013’s More Than Just a Dream. Its “Out of My League” also climbed the charts. Fitz and the Tantrums have grown into a more highly polished dance-pop sound and have lost some of their rawer musical power, but they are still a very interesting band to hear live. Their 2016 release, Fitz and The Tantrums, contained the hit single “HandClap.” Fitz and the Tantrums are touring in support of their latest LP, 2022’s Let Yourself Free.

It’s a warm, sunny May day, and I’m at Mt. Lebanon Park with my son. That is, my son, who is 22. Not 22-months. Twenty-two years. If you’re wondering why I would take my college-aged son to the playground…well, it’s been a while. Actually, it’s been about 15 years. And we wanted to see if one of his childhood haunts had changed.
