November with Acoustic Tuesdays
Written by Arlo Grey MacFarland
The Downtown Neighbors Alliance (DNA) has been hosting Acoustic Tuesdays performances for nearly a month now! Packing the house nearly every week, we have welcomed some of Pittsburgh’s best underground performers, and this month is no different. November is stacked with artists for Acoustic Tuesdays. This week features Melina Bowser and Abby Morgan on November 4, and Bailey Rose and Luminosa on November 11, 2025.
First up on November 4 is Melina Bowser. Bowser is a 25-year-old prolific singer/songwriter from Pittsburgh, PA. With original music compared to artists like Colbie Caillat & Taylor Swift and covers ranging from Harry Styles to Lynyrd Skynyrd, everyone is guaranteed to enjoy a live performance by Bowser. You can stream Melina’s original music on all music streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and more.
Then, there’s Abby Morgan. Morgan is a singer/songwriter with a sound inspired by indie and alternative rock as well as synth pop influences. At their core, her songs are poems. Her music aims to celebrate the intense, strange, and overwhelming dimensions of the human experience.
“Songwriting is an outlet for me to express myself, and I love how it enables me to connect with other people over shared experiences,” said Morgan.
On November 11, we will feature Bailey Rose and Luminosa. Bailey Rose is a 15 year old singer-songwriter from just south of Pittsburgh. Despite her young age Rose continues to set herself apart from the masses by writing relatable lyrics, well beyond her years. With a growing number of original singles, Rose also takes time to collaborate and co-write with other artists developing songs in various genres.
Rose tailors each performance to meet the desires of crowds. You can catch her during the week performing a quiet acoustic set in an intimate setting and then see her on the weekend lighting the stage on fire at a festival with a full band. Every performance is unique and memorable.
And finally, there’s Luminosa. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, she has always had a love for singing. Performing in various venues here and in New York City, Luminosa has been writing music for 15 years. Her music is reminiscent of dream-pop artists like Mazzy Star and 2010s synth-pop such as Halsey.
Hosted at Liberty Magic at 811 Liberty Ave., Acoustic Tuesdays is a free event open to the public. Join us this month in supporting the local arts. Seat reservations are available here, but act fast, as we fill up quickly!
