The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the Allegheny County Summer Concert Series to move from the South Park and Hartwood Acres Park amphitheaters to Pittsburgh’s WPCW television station.
Performances by local musicians and artists will be aired from 7-8 p.m. every Sunday night on the CW and posted on the County Parks Facebook page and County YouTube channel at 8 p.m. from July 5 to Sept. 6. The complete list of performers will be announced in coming weeks.
Allegheny County will debut its Parks Unplugged online music and interview series June 5 with Chris Jamison, who finished in third place on Season 7 of NBC’s “The Voice.”
The 14-episode online series will feature acoustic performances by local artists in unique county park settings. New episodes will drop on the County Parks Facebook page and County YouTube channel every Friday at 7 p.m. from June 5 to Sept. 4.
Other Parks Unplugged performers will include Scott Blasey of the Clarks, Michael Glabicki of Uprooted and Clinton Clegg of The Commonheart, a 1999 graduate of Ringgold High School.
“I’ve been chomping at the bit to get out of the house,” said Clegg, who lives on Pittsburgh’s North Side. “Any way I can provide a positive distraction, I’m all for it.”
