To Do Wednesday

(Events)

Local singer, songwriter and producer Tom Breiding will share traditional folk songs about steel, coal and glass workers during a program Wednesday evening at McKeesport Heritage Center.

"Steeltowns, Coalfields and the Unbroken Circle" begins at 7 p.m. The program also includes Breiding's original songs about the industries that turned the Monongahela Valley into the "workshop of the world" in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Breiding is a Wheeling, W.Va., native who currently resides in Washington County. A former staff composer for a Nashville music publisher, Breiding has released nine CDs of his own music since 1992, including 2001's American Son, which benefited the United Steelworkers union.

Wednesday's program is sponsored by the Carnegie Library of McKeesport and supported by a grant from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. The Heritage Center is located at 1832 Arboretum Drive in Renziehausen Park.

For more information, call (412) 672-0625 or visit the library's website at www.mckeesportlibrary.org.
