| ____Owner, 31st Street Pub | |
| ____In the past four years, the 31st Street pub has emerged as the home of everything that truly rocks in Pittsburgh, playing host to local acts that toured the country, signed to national independent labels, won the last Graffiti Rock Challenge and represented Pittsburgh in the South by Southwest conference. In addition to playing a key role in building a local scene, the Pub has packed 'em in with such national greats as New Bomb Turks, the Murder City Devils, Cobra Verde and the Makers. In an effort to describe the type of act he likes to book, Greenfield explained, "It's not everyone's bag. It's underground. You can't go into Whiskey Dick's or Banana Joe's and see too many of these bands. I like that." | |
