Blasey Rocks the Library!

Who would have thought you could have this much fun at a library on a Saturday night? Over 200 fans of all ages were treated to a free concert by Scott Blasey in the main lobby of the library last night. Blasey, lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for Pittsburgh-based rock band The Clarks, offered up an evening of family-friendly music including several popular Clarks tunes, favorite cover songs and requests from the audience.

Pier Lee, Library Director, welcomed the crowd to the event, pointing out that the library offers so much to the community including downloadable audiobooks and playaways. After entertaining the audience with 90 minutes of songs and humorous tales, Blasey concluded the evening by remarking how lucky we are to have such a beautiful library, encouraging everyone to visit the new Teen Reading Room and Family Activity Center - an area very much enjoyed by his two young daughters. Copies of Blasey's three solo CDs, Shine, Don't Try This at Home, and Travelin' On will be available at the library for loan in the next few days.

If you didn't make it to the library show, Blasey will be performing at the Peterswood Park amphitheater on Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. Don't miss it!
