🎸 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗬 – 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 | 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟰 𝗼𝗳 𝟰: "𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗠𝗬 𝗤𝗕𝟭 (𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗡𝗬)" / "𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗪"

We're wrapping up the Broom Artist Spotlight with two songs!

First up is "𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝘆 𝗤𝗕𝟭 (𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘆)," Broom's emotional tribute to former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. The song earned Broom the top spot in 102.5 WDVE 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝘁𝘀𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗵 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱. 🏆

Then Broom turns up the volume with their take on the Judas Priest classic "𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄." 🤘

Two very different songs—and a pretty good example of what you can expect when you catch Broom live.

🎸 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗬 – 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 | 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟯 𝗢𝗙 𝟰: "𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧" 𝗕𝗬 𝗔𝗫𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

Here's one for those who remember the local rock scene back in the '80s. 🤘

Broom reaches back into Pittsburgh-area rock history with their version of "Look Out For The Night," originally recorded by Axtion, an '80s hard rock band from the Pittsburgh/Belle Vernon area.

"𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁" was also the title of 𝗔𝘅𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻'𝘀 self-released album.

I love that Broom digs into songs like this—not just the same classic rock covers you hear everywhere, but songs with a connection to our own local music history.

Here's 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 performing "𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁" live at 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗮.

👇 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺, 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺'𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 "𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱."

🎸 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗬 – 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 | 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟮 𝗼𝗳 𝟰 : "𝗙𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗦" 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘

Here's one of my favorite tracks from 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺'𝘀 new album, "𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱."

"𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀" is just a great, straightforward modern rock song—and a good example of what you'll find on the new album.

Here's Broom performing "Falling Stars" live at Dead Head Winery in Monongahela. 🤘

👇 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺, 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺.

🎸 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗬 – 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 | 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟭 𝗼𝗳 𝟰: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪

I caught up with Pittsburgh rock band Broom at Dead Head Winery in Monongahela for the latest Steel City Talks Artist Spotlight.

Sometimes you have to start an interview twice. 😁 About two minutes into our conversation, everything decided to shut down... so we started over and had a little fun with it.

Once we actually got rolling, we talked about how the band came up with the name 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺, their brand-new album "𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱," and their album release party at The Coal Mine, where the guys decided that business suits and ties were the appropriate attire for a rock show. 😎

We also got into something I've always liked about Broom—their choice of older cover songs and the way they put their own spin on them. It's an approach I've always appreciated: songs people know, but songs you don't hear every band playing.

And, of course, we talked about what's next for Broom following the release of the new album.

👇 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀

A little preview of what's coming up on 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻𝘆... 🎤🎸

I recently caught up with Broom at Dead Head Winery in Monongahela to talk about their new album, 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 — and my own very scientific way of determining whether an album is any good. 😆

We also got into their album release party, and the guys told me they actually 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲). Of course, I had to ask...

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀, The Charge Ups? 😂

Just a little piece of a really fun conversation with these guys.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗶𝘀 "𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱" 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻!

I’ll be meeting up with Broom at 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘆 in Monongahela, PA. These guys have been making some noise around the area, and they just released their new album, 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱, so we’ll definitely be talking about the new music, what’s ahead for the band... and yes, I have to find out why five guys in a rock band decided to call themselves 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺.

I’m also hoping to spend a little time with the folks at Dead Head Winery while I’m there. It’s a really unique local venue—a winery sitting just a block off downtown Monongahela, with residential houses right across the street. Not exactly where you expect to find a winery, and that’s part of what makes it interesting.

Looking forward to this one. 🎶

🎸 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗬 – 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗥𝗜𝗭𝗢𝗡 | 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟰: "𝗦𝗨𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗕𝗟𝗨𝗘" 𝗕𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗫

I brought this one up during my interview with Steelrizon because, although I've heard plenty of bands cover Styx over the years, I honestly can't remember ever seeing a band take on "𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲."

It's a song with a lot of changes and nuances, and Steelrizon did a great job of making it their own while still staying true to the structure of the original.

So here's the performance we were talking about — 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝘅 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 "𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲" live at The Junction Tavern in Perryopolis. 🤘

👇 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄, 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀, 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 "𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗲," 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰.
