Weird Paul documentary at Harris Theatre

We may be in for a rainy few days of Arts Fest. Should that be the case, take a stroll up Liberty to the Harris Theatre. Tonight at 8:00 and Saturday at 4:00, Pittsburgh Filmmakers will be showing Stacey Goldschmidt's 2006 documentary on local lo-fi songsmith Weird Paul Petroskey.

Having amassed a catalogue of almost 600 songs, and despite releasing only one "major" full-length over two decades, Petroskey's gained fans the likes of Lou Barlow, and that's good company. Whether or not you count yourself among his admirers, local music fans will surely leave the theater having expanded their knowledge of our city's notable musical output.
