Heinz Field—South Plaza Stage

Chris Higbee Project - Higbee founded the "PovertyNeck Hillbillies" whose uniquely wild and energetic concerts were played on stages, rooftops, and "anything else he could fathom." The group stayed together seven years, and had a nationally ranked video [#2] titled "Mr. Right Now" starring Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisburger. CHP is Higbee's new venture, combining the talent and passion of several diverse musicians, providing a must-see show for everyone!

The Stickers - only group in the tri-state to win three Billboard awards in national competitions against artists from around the globe. Known for their strong song writing abilities and universal sound, the band holds mass crossover appeal through age groups and styles. In addition to its Billboard achievements, the band was a finalist in the MTV Beach House Band Search National Competition; runner up in the Jim Beam National Unsigned Band Competition and "showcase band" at the Millennium Music Conference, Harrisburg.

Soul Asylum @ Heinz Field—
South Plaza Stage
8:00 PM - 9:30 PM

Soul Asylum - renewed and revitalized, Soul Asylum founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy return to rock's front line with THE SILVER LINING, their first new studio release since 1998's Candy From a Stranger. It's the band's ninth full-length album—every bit as quirky and off-centered cut-to-the-bone rock as their hardcore fans have come to expect...a true indication that the Minneapolis-bred group has lost none of its edge. "Everything that we've done has been relatively homespun and we've had to do it all by ourselves," says Dave. And they'll do it all for Pittsburgh as the marquee performers at Regatta 2008.
