Jeff Jimerson & Airborne

Known as “The Penguins’ Own,” Jeff Jimerson has been the voice of the national anthem at Pittsburgh Penguins games for more than two decades, performing at multiple Stanley Cup Finals and even appearing in the film Sudden Death. Widely recognized as one of hockey’s top anthem singers, his powerful voice has become a Pittsburgh tradition.
Off the ice, Jeff brings that same energy to the stage with his band Airborne, a Pittsburgh favorite since 1990. Featuring Dave Scopa (lead guitar), Herb Schweitzer (keyboards), and Dave Marion (drums), the group delivers a dynamic mix of classic rock, pop, and modern hits that span the decades. Their shows are packed with fan favorites—from Journey and Bon Jovi to Bruno Mars—all performed with the signature energy that keeps crowds dancing and singing along.
Whether it’s a community festival, concert series, or private event, Jeff Jimerson & Airborne bring world-class vocals, outstanding musicianship, and an unforgettable live show that always leaves audiences wanting more.

Jane West & Joe Golden

Performing together since 2015, Jane West & Joe Golden first met back in the late nineties when Joe was Jane's first guitar teacher. They reconnected back in Ligonier, PA years later at one of Joe’s gigs and the rest is history…

These days the two perform as an acoustic duo focusing on, but not limited to, Americana classics: Joe's multi-string talents (guitar, banjo, and fiddle) go from laid back strummin' to high energy pickin', complimenting Jane's relaxed, yet, engaging vocals.

In addition to their duo, Jane and Joe each perform solo and also as featured musicians in multiple music opportunities performances all over western Pennsylvania- and beyond!

Joe specializes in the care of all string instruments when he’s not performing: westmorelandstringworkshop.com

Mike Urick & The Modelaires

The original Modelaires band was formed in the 1940s by a group of Jeannette, Pennsylvania based musicians including Mike Urick’s grandfather. The band lasted for more than 70 years and performed all types of music including Italian favorites, rock, jazz, swing, country, and even the occasional polka.
After his grandfather’s passing, Urick inherited his trumpets – which he performs with onstage – and in 2022 decided to reform the Modelaires with a group of hand selected musicians from throughout western Pennsylvania. The reformed band expanded beyond the extensive repertoire of the original Modelaires. In the same spirit of the original group, Mike Urick and The Modelaires play any type of song that they and the audience will enjoy especially vintage rock, retro jazz/swing, pure Americana, and Mardi Gras-inspired party tunes.
