Every Friday, solo guitarist Daryl Shawn plays at Backstage Bar in downtown Pittsburgh, right across the street from Heinz Hall, from 5 to 7:30 pm. There's no cover charge, the drinks are top-notch, and the music is very chill.
Shawn plays a huge variety of instrumental music, taking a unique improvisational approach to everything from modern indie-pop tunes to classic jazz to classic rock, plus his own upbeat originals with a flamenco twist. He has released five albums of music and has performed all across North America.
