The Wild Hymns

Originating from central Pennsylvania, The Wild Hymns weave a multifaceted soundscape of dreamy folk-pop, Americana, and mellow rock & roll.

Initially a solo endeavor by singer-songwriter, Megan Woodland Donley Hewitt, the magic of the project quickly expanded into a more collaborative affair with her husband, guitarist Jeff Hewitt, and full band, adding the final touches to this gorgeous atmosphere of sound. 

Following their 2014 self-titled debut album, The Wild Hymns toured regionally and nationally, building a solid following. They released two subsequent albums in 2016 and 2018, ever-evolving in sound and style. 2022 proved to be a big year for The Wild Hymns, releasing their boldest collection of dreamy indie rock, a full length album titled - Eternal Return.

Mo Taters and the Gravy Train

Pittsburgh’s western swing & classic country band Mo Taters and the Gravy Train

Pittsburgh Honer Harmonica Master, Charlie Barath (aka: Moe Taters) is bringing his latest project to Club VOMA!

Born as a “one-off” project for a “one-time” event, Moe Taters and The Gravy Train turned out to be so

much fun for the five musicians involved that they decided to let it roll. In fact, immediately upon stepping

off the bandstand at that first show, each member excitedly asked, “So when’s the next gig?”

And so it began.

This talented group of musicians brings you some of the best Western Swing and Vintage Country Music

around, coupled with some fun and catchy originals of their own, all guaranteed to get your boots moving.

The band is led by Charlie Barath on Lead Vocals and just the right amount of Harmonica. Pete Freeman’s

mastery of the Pedal Steel is a big part of this band’s sound, as is the truly amazing Guitar work of Donnie

Bell. The Gravy Train also boasts a stellar rhythm section made up of the one-and-only “Taco” on Bass

Guitar, and Bert Lerini in the driver’s seat on Drums.

So keep your eyes open for Moe Taters, and don’t miss a chance to catch The Gravy Train!
