Pittsburgh’s Thunderbird Café and Music Hall is a longstanding fixture in the city’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. Ready for an audio upgrade, Thunderbird’s 583-capacity Music Hall bumped up its audio facilities with a new L-Acoustics A Series loudspeaker system designed and installed by McKees Rocks-based Hollowood Sound.
The venue dates back to 1890 when it opened as a bakery. The building was converted in 1933 into a tavern known as Michalski’s Café and since 2000, the venue has been owned by John and Ami Pergal, who also own the 1,400-seat Roxian Theatre across town, which put in an L-Acoustics Kara system five years ago. Thunderbird Café and Music Hall has become an intimate mainstay on the national touring circuit, so when the Pergals wanted an upgrade, they knew exactly where to turn.
