Hughshows – Hugh Twyman PARS521

He has been described as the “Godfather of Pittsburgh Music Blogging.” Starting to place his stamp on the Pittsburgh scene in 2004, Hugh Twyman of Hughshows joins Bill for Episode 521 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show to talk about the Hughshows. Segment 1 about Hughshows Ok Hugh, let’s start off with a question that you have asked on your own website, Why the Hugh Shows? You started out taking photos of the local music scene, what was it about the scene that enticed you to try and capture it? Tell me about Hugh Twyman day. What have been some of your favorite moments on Hughshows? How does a band get on Hughshows? Segment 2 with Hugh Twyman Okay Hugh, let’s set the music scene aside for a moment. What are some things that you enjoy that are not scene related? If I were to find you in a social studies book 10 years from now. On the pages about the pandemic, why would you be there? If you could give bands in the local scene any advice about being on shows like your’s, mine, or something similar, what would you suggest to them? Last question, what is something about you that your followers would be surprised to learn about you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGdDh92XrC8

State of the Local Entertainment Scene PYS004

On this episode of Podcast Your Scene: Throwdown we announce the addition of our newest host Doug Carnahan from After the Fall. Brian Shaffer was unable to participate, but we had Jana (Lady Jaye) from First Angel Media and Fred Young, from the band After, join us to discuss the state of the local entertainment scene. This episode is dedicated to our dear friend Tony Marinacci. Bill hosted this one and asked the following questions (we may have gone off on a “few” tangents, too): How would you grade the local music scene? What businesses and venues are succeeding with helping to build our scene, and why? How valid are digital downloads, and do you feel they will surpass cds this year? How do you think the local radio stations have done in supporting local musicians this past year? Do you think compilation discs would be helpful today? What can the venues do to make life easier for bands? What is the last local band you listened to?
