The Bands and Bids fundraising campaign benefits the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank through both an online auction and a live music event. Lance Jones, the events organizer, stopped by WQED-FM to talk to Jim Cunningham about the event, which features performances from the Polkamaniacs, the Jig-Offs and Ben Forbeck. The event takes place on Thursday April 16th at the Penn Hebron Garden Club in Penn Hills from 6:30pm to 10pm. Now until 10pm on April 16th, you can also bid for auction items including a behind-the-scenes tour of Rich Engler's autographed guitar collection; a Robert Plant autographed poster; a $300 gift certificate for redeeming on Pittsburgh Cultural Trust 2026/2027 shows; a chance to DJ at Independent Brewing with Rick Sebak and much more.
