SUMMARY:jazzjAM in partnership with the August Wilson African American Cultural Center w/ John Shannon
DESCRIPTION:Arts and culture will feature prominently on Riverlife’s Shore Thing this summer\, including live jazz every third Saturday morning of the month. It’s jazzjAM\, in partnership with the August Wilson African American Cultural Center. This event is part of the Shore Thing Performing Arts Series presented by The Charity Randall Foundation. jazzjAM is supported by Citizens. \nJohn Shannon \nWhen it comes to bluesy\, soulful\, straight-ahead jazz\, few American cities swing like Pittsburgh. Guitarist John Shannon\, a Pittsburgh native\, follows in the lineage of George Benson\, Jimmy Ponder\, Joe Pass\, and Joe Negri — masters\, each rooted in Pittsburgh\, who carried the City of Bridges’ singular dialect onto the world stage. \nShannon carries that legacy forward on his debut full-length jazz album\, A Day in Tarifa\, on Jazzbook Records. The organ-trio set features Cliff Barnes on Hammond organ and James Johnson III on drums\, and its originals range from hometown landmarks like “Four One Two” and “Liberty Bridge” to the windswept Spanish coast that inspired its title track. \n“This is actually my debut jazz record\,” Shannon explains. “I’ve put out other records\, but this is the first one where the writing is jazz centric and for a classic organ trio.” The music ties his Pittsburgh roots to southern Spain and his search for sound in nature. It’s both a return home and a new beginning — shaped on the road\, tested onstage\, and distilled into his own voice. \nShannon began shaping that voice early. His debut\, American Mystic (2008)\, was praised for its intimacy\, followed by Songs of the Desert River (2011) and Time Was a Lie (2012). In 2021 he produced State of Mind for Con Alma Records\, capturing Pittsburgh’s scene during Covid. \nHe started guitar at six. By high school he was performing around Pittsburgh\, studying with bassist Dwayne Dolphin\, saxophonist Eric Kloss\, and organist Mike Ross. At Berklee he trained with Mick Goodrick and Wayne Krantz\, alongside classmates Hiromi Uehara\, Bob Reynolds\, Walter Smith III\, and Kendrick Scott. In 1999 he formed Waking Vision with drummer Martin Valihora and bassist Mitch Cohn\, touring Europe before he turned twenty. Soon after\, he stepped in on guitar with Hiromi’s Sonicbloom\, subbing for David Fiuczynski on live dates around the world. \nThrough the 2010s he expanded into new territory: the rock trio theSHIFT’s 7th Direction (2015); SweetPro\, the Reggie Watts-created ensemble behind Louie; Louis C.K.’s film Fourth of July (2022); and his own albums Guitar Improvisations (2018) and Waking Vision’s The Breathing Earth (2023). In 2022 he signed with Jazzbook Records\, making A Day in Tarifa his first statement for the label. \nThough his work spans jazz\, rock\, and film\, Shannon has remained rooted in Pittsburgh. “They call it the Pittsburgh quarter note\,” he explains. “If you don’t swing\, you’re not really accepted as part of the scene.” He points to Roger Humphries — drummer on Horace Silver’s Song for My Father and a longtime mentor in Pittsburgh — and bassist Dwayne Dolphin\, whose credits include Wynton Marsalis and Fred Wesley. For Shannon\, they embody the same working-class\, soulful feel carried forward by Benson\, Ponder\, Pass\, and Negri. \nA Day in Tarifa draws from those roots while opening outward. Tracks like “Four One Two\,” “Liberty Bridge\,” and “Allegheny Current” are grounded in Pittsburgh’s landscape. The spacious\, hypnotic “Marseille” nods to the late pianist and fellow Pittsburgh native Ahmad Jamal. The title track evokes Tarifa\, Spain’s southern tip: “There is an inspiring mystique in Tarifa\, you can see across the water to North Africa ands it’s also the windsurfing capitol of the world\,” Shannon says. Other pieces — “Golden Wave\,” “Sunrise\,” “Star Travel\,” and “Slipstream” — draw inspiration from the sounds of wind\, trees\, and rivers. \nChoosing the organ trio format is itself a statement. Guitar\, Hammond organ\, and drums — rooted in the soul-jazz tradition of Jimmy Smith’s trios and the guitar lineage of Grant Green — remain one of jazz’s most recognizable settings. Shannon leans into that heritage with Barnes’s organ voice and Johnson’s deep-pocket time. “I love the sound of the organ trio\,” he says. “It has such a trance nature to it.” Their interplay gives A Day in Tarifa its identity: straight-ahead and hard-bop in feel\, with the soulful drive that defines Pittsburgh jazz. \nFor Shannon\, the album also reaffirms the importance of songwriting. “All the greats in jazz were also great songwriters\,” he says. “That’s where players develop their sound — on their own music. It’s about the communication of a song.”\nA spiritual strand runs through his work — meditation\, vision-quest\, and engagement with devotional traditions. Ravi Shankar’s Chants of India (1997)\, produced by George Harrison\, remains a touchstone\, echoing his own practice of finding the mystical in sound. \nSince 2019 he has co-owned and curated Con Alma\, one of the only musician-owned jazz clubs in the U.S. He programs local stalwarts alongside touring artists\, fosters a listening-first space\, and works to reawaken Pittsburgh’s jazz consciousness. “Con Alma is more of a vision than a dream\,” he says. In 2021 Esquire named Con Alma one of the “Best Bars in America\,” and through OH! Jazz streaming the club carries Pittsburgh’s sound worldwide. \nWith A Day in Tarifa\, Shannon makes his first full jazz statement. In his hands\, the guitar becomes a bridge — linking Steel City’s swing tradition to his own voice.

SUMMARY:Sounds on the Shore w/ Mani Bahia
DESCRIPTION:Mani Bahia (Mah-Knee Bye-Eee-Yuh) is an American artist\, musician\, dj\, producer\, singer-songwriter\, and performer from Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. In late 2018\, Mani dropped her first project\, “Solstice\,” featuring a collection of original acoustic tracks recorded outdoors with raw vocals describing her thoughts\, reflections\, and feelings of the times surrounding her. Bahia performed a spoken word piece for Academy Award Winner Denzel Washington\, nestled under his arm outside of August Wilson’s childhood home in Pittsburgh’s Hill District the same year. This opportunity ignited the multi- disciplinary artist into a new perspective of her craft as a writer and vocalist. So she began the journey into perfecting her penmanship and performance style. In 2020\, “Mani Bahia and The Mob” was founded\, and the band debuted at “Pittsburgh’s Very Own\,” a top-rated concert series in Etna Township\, held at Mr. Smalls Theatre. The Mob’s performance garnered the attention of fellow peers and musicians within the music community. Days later\, The Mob uploaded a “Tiny Desk Concert Submission\,” and their performance featured on the “Best 2020 Tiny Desk Contest Entries We Saw This Week: Volume 6”. Jon Lewis\, an American writer based in New York\, described the performance as “a house party” and recommended viewers have “space to two-step before you hit play.” Most recently\, Mani Bahia & the Mob performed at the Cultural Arts Fest in June 2022\, Swissvale Pride Fest in June 2023\, and the Hill District Arts Festival in July 2023. Mani Bahia’s second project titled “Inferno” was released in early October of 2022. “Inferno” is majority produced\, arranged\, and written by Mani Bahia\, but holds a few surprise production credits. You can find Bilal Abbey’s co-produced track titled “FRIZZ\,” and on “LINK\,” you can hear the bass of Benji from Spillage Village. Bahia’s “Inferno” will give the listener a taste of varied genres such as Alt R&B\, Hip-Hop\, Funk\, House\, and Soul. The genre-bending “Inferno” is a full-bodied artistic work that expresses the grit\, vulnerability\, and devoted integrity Bahia has to her craft\, but also the journey to finding her footing in a world where music and art are her anchor.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Creative Corps: Light Through Color with La Vispera
DESCRIPTION:Join La Vispera for a hands-on workshop beneath the shade structure artwork they created for Shore Thing. Participants will explore the same materials and techniques used in the installation\, including selecting\, cutting\, and assembling discarded plastics into original artworks to take home.   \nWith design options for varying skill levels\, this workshop offers a firsthand introduction to La Vispera’s creative process and sustainable approach to artmaking.  \nThis workshop is part of the Pittsburgh Creative Corps artist program series\, presented by Shiftworks Community + Public Arts and made possible by the City of Pittsburgh’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Arts Programming initiative.

Our repertoire includes stop-motion animation\, photography\, sculptures\, and\, predominantly\, stained glass windows made from single-use plastic. \nAs nature enthusiasts\, we continually strive to bring environmental issues to the forefront of our art. Our stained glass pieces are a testament to our commitment to this cause. Through the use of the material’s translucency and color variations\, we have transformed what is typically a transient and detrimental substance into something of great beauty that we consider worth preserving.  \nRegistration is required below.

SUMMARY:Sounds on the Shore w/ Clara Kent
DESCRIPTION:Clara Kent is an Afro-Indigenous (Oglala Lakota & Ojibwe) multidisciplinary artist\, entrepreneur\, and community leader from Pittsburgh\, Pa’s Homewood community. Clara is best known for her music and dynamic performances\, but also utilizes various forms of expression within visual art and media. She focuses her artistry on uplifting the creative community and reclaiming indigenous roots\, particularly for underserved Black artists and youth in her neighborhood. \nKent began her independent artist journey in 2017 with the release of her first album\, “AURA”\, a vaporwave neo-soul project written and produced by Clara and beatmaker Yorel Tifsim. The album focused on the Hero’s Journey and the power of reclaiming your authentic self when obstacles arise. “AURA” was very well received\, leading to the self-proclaimed “Multidimensional Artistic Individual” being named Pittsburgh City Paper’s “Person of the Year” for Music in 2019\, and has performed across the country\, opening for Wyclef Jean at SXSW\, Cautious Clay at WYEP Summerfest\, Thundercat at Stage AE\, Nnamdi\, Oshun\,  Jon Wayne\, Mumufresh\, The O’My’s\,  and OHMME. Clara embarked on a summer tour in 2019 with London-based music events company Sofar Sounds\, becoming one of their cohort performance artists alongside acts like Moses Sumney\, Lianne La Havas\, and Yebba. \nSince then\, Clara Kent has expanded her career into media and entrepreneurial ventures\, while continuing to create music and advocate for other Black and Indigenous creatives. In 2022\, she began hosting a radio show on WYEP called “More Bounce with Clara Kent\,” managing the Alt-Funk band Mani Bahia & The Mob. Also\, she launched her production company\, Bounce House Studios & Productions LLC\, a Black women-led organization whose purpose is to “Elevate the Underground” ™️ through free programming and donation-based events for BIPOC artists. One of the first music projects released was The Four Winds: EAST\, Part One of “THE FOUR WINDS” series. The Four Winds series honors her Afro-Indigenous heritage and was intentionally released on Juneteenth in 2023 to raise awareness of the intersection of African American and Native American presence and cultural contributions in music and culture. The EP was well-received and was named “Best of Soul” by Bandcamp Daily in 2023 and was featured on 90.5 WESA\, Pittsburgh’s NPR station. In 2024\, Clara was nominated and selected as an official Voting Member of the Recording Academy for the Grammy Awards\, recognized for years of community work\, artistic excellence\, and consistent advocacy for musicians in the industry. Kent is currently preparing to launch new projects and music events under the Bounce House brand\, starting late summer of 2026. \nClara’s mission is to connect people to their hearts\, their communities\, and the planet\, one song\, painting\, and creative collaboration at a time. Her vision is that people recognize the importance of their emotions and learn to embrace them\, thereby creating a compassionate and supportive world for everyone. She hopes that with her gifts and connection to her ancestors and nature\, she’ll be a vessel for Great Spirit to heal and transmute heaviness into light for those who connect to her artistry.
