MONDAY OCT 20, 2025 - WYEP 91.3 & Straub Brewing Presents: AcoustiCafe Open Stagehost Abbey Martin ft Ryan Hoffman & the Pioneers!!
THEME: “Inner Child” work
Bring an original or cover song that gives a nod to your inner child! Did you have a favorite cheesy pop song when you were a kid? What song was popular the year you were born? Whatever your inner child has to say, we want to hear!
ABBEY MARTIN grew up in a hippie commune in rural OH and spent a lot of time in trees: (see pic) She started playing guitar and writing songs in the past couple years (her inner child made her do it). She has recently started playing solo in Pittsburgh and also as part of a trio, “Aubergine.” You can catch her at the Breezeway Home this week on Oct 23rd and at the upcoming “Songs for Gaza” World Food Kitchen Fundraiser on Nov 1st at the Pittsburgh Winery.

RYAN HOFFMAN & THE PIONEERS bring a modern, cerebral spin to indie folk music - they go way back with us to the Club Cafe days, so psyched to see what they've been working on!
SNOWBALLS of LOVE: Everyone is asked to support the artists you enjoy by throwing Snowballs of Love at the stage (in addition to applause) to show how much you love your friends on stage. Plus it looks cool on the livestream
AC SHOW DETAILS:
Doors open downstairs in Mr Smalls Café at 5 pm for checkin, Signups begin around 6:30pm, show from 7pm until 11pm. Full sound and light system with backline (drums, keys, guitar and bass amp) available, and a house band to back you up if you want!
ACOUSTICAFE OPEN STAGE is brought to you by WYEP 91.3 FM and by delicious STRAUB Beer. When the going gets rough, and the voice-over actor in your head gets even rougher, and the narration they read begins 'They had no idea how rough the going was about to get...' the hopeful orchestral score will swell, and there will be - STRAUB
Come join our welcoming music-loving choose-your-own-family kind of atmosphere - We can't wait to see you, to hear your songs, jokes, poems and stories!
