Thrilled to announce one of our favorite duos returning to Kingfly for a Sunday FUNday afternoon~

Jimbo Jackson & Jason Caliguri are a dream team that will have you singing and dancing along as they entertain with familiar hits and their own comedic inserts. It's the perfect day to get the crew together, catch up on life and listen to great music.

ABOUT THE BAND:

This singer/songwriter was the longtime frontman and founder of Pittsburgh’s award-winning band “Jimbo and the Soupbones”. Jimbo has a larger-than-life, soulful voice and his charm is infectious. Jimbo will be joined by his musician brother and friend Jason Caliguri. Jason is an accomplished musician that has the demeanor to match and serves as the perfect complement to Jimbo’s, sometimes off-script nature.

Jimbo crosses musical genres without apology, resulting in a fresh, yet familiar blend of funk, rock, soul and blues that excludes no listener. He offers both original music and soulful, stripped-down covers of the songs that you forgot you loved as well as current classics. Passion, charisma, and an unwavering love for people and music are all woven into every note of Jimbo’ s performance.

The authentic comedy serves as a bonus to an already magnificent show!

ABOUT THE BACHELOR BOYS:
As students of music, studio regulars, and touring sound engineers for high profile bands, we started performing together in 2012. These gigs quickly turned into requests to perform at private events and festivals. We loved seeing the joy and full dance floors that we could bring to these events. We perfected our event planning, expanded our repertoire, added members to the band–and the rest is history! The Bachelor Boys Band has been setting the industry standard for event music ever since.

This event is free to attend.

It’s Sunday FUNDay and this week we’re proud to feature Project Banjo ~ a reimagining of traditional Americana and Bluegrass music through an exploration of the banjo's place within contemporary song-writing and nimble instrumentation. Often accompanied with drum and bass, and led by Enzo Chiodi on Banjo, Project Banjo will shake your impression of what "banjo music" can be by breathing new life into old favorites and celebrating the ever-lasting love of these American genres.

Calling all curious minds and changemakers—join us for the next chapter of Science, Chilled & Distilled, where bold ideas meet great conversation in one of Pittsburgh’s most vibrant spaces, Kingfly Spirits in the Strip!

We invite you to an evening of connection and cutting-edge science featuring Abby Overacre-Delgoffe, PhD, a leading researcher at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. Dr. Overacre-Delgoffe will share groundbreaking insights into the gut microbiome—and how something as ordinary as a diet soda could influence the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.

Whether you're a science enthusiast, a curious learner, or someone who believes in the power of innovation to drive change, this event is for you. Enjoy a complimentary drink, meet fellow professionals, and discover how your curiosity—and your support—can help fuel the next wave of discovery.

Let’s raise a glass to what’s possible. We’ll see you there.

Stay tuned for upcoming events at breweries, distilleries, wineries, and coffee shops across the city—where science and community continue to collide.

This event is FREE and open to the public.

One complimentary drink will be provided, as will snacks.

Street parking is available, as is paid parking at The Hub at 3 Crossings garage

Let’s Sip & Script with Proof and Parchment for a festive workshop of spooky fun and pretty lettering for beginners! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY Bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, in this workshop you’ll be learning an introduction to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink. We will cover all the basics and get you ready to add those special lettered details to all your spooky spreads – think lettered pumpkins at your front door, on your bar cart, as a Halloween party hostess gift, or special occasion gift!

Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, our beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink pot, 2 letter guides, tracing paper, and straight pen holder), and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop! Additionally, we will be lettering on faux pumpkins at the end of our class time!

Get your tickets here: https://sipandscript.com/event/modern-calligraphy-pumpkin-lettering-for-beginners-at-kingfly-spirits/

Feel free to come early, grab your seat, and shop! You can bring your own food & drinks for class. The class will start promptly at 6:30 PM! 

Class Expectations: Yes, lefties are welcome too! This class is encouraged for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. We teach the basics and our expectation for you is to have ink flowing through your nib with enough confidence to be able to practice way beyond class. We love using tracing paper with our guides to help you build muscle memory and develop your own style!  If you have tried calligraphy out before, this class will be a great refresher and hopefully a chance to try some new supplies from our beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form of art!

A note on bringing guests 16 and under: We love to share this passion with kids. You are welcome to get a ticket for your child as long as you are comfortable with people around them having a drink or two. We do ask that anyone under the age of 16 be accompanied by a ticketed adult at all times.

It’s been a minute but we’ve got the sounds of Justin Sellers back in the building on Sunday, Sept 7th from 4-7pm. It’s a great vibe for kicking back and enjoying the last of the weekend with a cocktail sampler or something from our Late Summer menu.
