The John and Wendy Mackin Band is the longest-running bluegrass band in the Pittsburgh area. John and Wendy Mackin have been playing traditional bluegrass music together for over 40 years, with John playing guitar and Wendy on banjo. They are joined by their son Jack Mackin on fiddle, Jeff Getz on mandolin, and Richard Gordon on upright bass.
The band members are known for their close harmony singing, their instrumental expertise, and their extensive repertoire of bluegrass, original tunes, and old-time country music. John and Wendy have been featured on the WWVA Wheeling Jamboree, and the band is often spotlighted on the Bluegrass Jam Session on WYEP 91.3 FM radio, Whiskey Before Breakfast on WRCT 88.3 FM, and on Music in the Air on WWOV 101.1 FM radio.
The John and Wendy Mackin Band enjoys performing live and delivers a soulful, entertaining show. They can be seen at concerts and festivals around the tri-state area. The band has several recordings, the most recent of which is an EP that features an original tribute to John’s uncle, the late Mac Martin.

Come enjoy a summer evening of music outside! No tickets are needed, but we will be accepting tips for the artists both online and at the show itself. The suggested tip is $15, and any amount is welcome. The online tip jar will be open closer to the concert date.
This concert is presented in coordination with Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy.
