“The talent in the Pittsburgh area is incredible and spans generations. I want to celebrate all the talent we have in the city while doing something meaningful for some great people from Band Together Pittsburgh,” said Wodarek. “I’m so thankful for the outpouring of support from my fellow musicians and our media partner, 3WS and iHeart, and everyone who is stepping up to make this evening so special for so many.”
