This will be the final performance of the 2025 We Rock Academy, a free recording and performance workshop for youth who have a history of or are currently receiving CYF services, led by Liz Berlin of the multi-platinum band Rusted Root and sponsored by the Allegheny County Department of Human Services.
In the We Rock Academy, participants immerse themselves in the full creative and professional process of music-making while gaining valuable life and career skills. This program offers a structured, hands-on experience that includes weekly in-person professional recording sessions, where students collaborate to write, record, and produce original songs. Beyond technical skills, the Academy also provides mentorship in performance, stage presence, branding, and career development, helping young artists explore meaningful ways to incorporate music into their personal and professional lives.
The incredible talent and hard work of our amazing students will be showcased at the We Rock Academy Album Drop Celebration at Mr. Smalls Theatre. You will hear brand new original music performed live, that was written and recorded during the student’s participation in the We Rock Academy. Also, there will be special appearances by legendary Pittsburgh MC Big Jus, cosmic jazz chanteuse Phat Man Dee, Deezil Money, Agape, and Liz Berlin,
And as if that wasn’t enough there will also be free food and beverages at this all ages event!
