About the Show:

Pittsburgh’s folk music society, Calliope, hosts a locally based group of jazz musicians with a flair for the genre’s early sounds.

Penna Players is a traditional jazz group based in Pittsburgh. Drawing inspiration from early jazz giants like Louis Armstrong, Gershwin, and Django Reinhardt, they curate a sound that spans vintage and classic jazz, swing, and blues from the early 1900s . Expect a mix of classic standards, lesser‑known tunes, and originals.

The Penna Players are:

• Pat Hodge – Guitar and Vocals

• Nathan Vargo – Violin

• Dave Shepherd – Upright Bass

• Lenni Green – Clarinet

• Jason Borisoff – Guitar
