Downtown Sound

Live music plays an important role in providing a higher quality of life within urban neighborhoods by supporting cultural expression, social identity, economic development, and most importantly a positive and safe sense of place.

The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership is developing an initiative to bring more live music into restaurants, bars, and other unique venues in Downtown Pittsburgh.

Concept

Partner with Downtown venues for a multi-night, multi-month commitment to add live music programming, supported by a comprehensive umbrella marketing campaign.

Goals

• Cultivate an expanded, sustainable, and diverse live music scene in Downtown Pittsburgh to support the Downtown business community
• Increase the number and variety of outlets for local musicians in Downtown
• Further establish Downtown as a default nightlife destination
• Develop consistent audience traffic to warrant continued investment in musical entertainment by participating venues
