Pittsburgh labor singer Anne Feeney was known for many things. Screaming obscenities at scabs. Prolific songwriting. Prolific song collecting. Mentoring young musicians. She was known for her anthem “Have You Been to Jail for Justice?”— and she was known for actually going to jail for justice. But among her family and friends? She was also known for her parties. “She would have these St. Patrick’s Day parties every year that were just outrageous,” said Amy Sue Berlin, Feeney’s daughter.

Her songs have been sung by activists all over the world and her anthem for civil disobedience, "Have You Been to Jail for Justice?" was even recorded by Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Pittsburgh rocker Joe Grushecky has had his music on a lot of stages over the years, but his songs will soon be heard in a new way: as part of a theater musical. “There's a playwright from San Diego named Jon Rosenberg,” Grushecky relayed to WYEP recently, “and he fashioned a play using the inspiration of my songs, and the characters of my songs, and the storylines of my songs.” The production is called "East Carson Street," named after his 2009 song and album.
