Right Place, Right Time - Networking Event
The Pittsburgh Global Connection is excited to present a
one-of-a-kind evening. Singer-songwriter John McDonald will perform a Private Preview of the songs from his upcoming CD Right Place, Right Time.
Known for his high-energy performances, John McDonald blends reggae, rock, world beat and calypso. The result is a feel-good, up-tempo musical fusion that combines tropical instrumentation, world beat rhythms and evocative lyrics. “Satellite communications send sweet songs through the air…they’re all part of the good vibrations everywhere” From John McDonald’s song Azaa Loo (Celebration!), in keeping with the mission of the PGC, is a truly global collaboration since he never actually met the African singers and drummers who recorded parts on this song!
Pittsburgh Global Connection was formed so that people in the
Pittsburgh business community could connect with not only the
local Pittsburgh businesses but those wishing to do business in
Pittsburgh who are located around the globe. PGC is the only
networking organization that solicits and promotes businesses
from outside the local Pittsburgh community as well as our
thriving local members. We are all connected electronically,
so why not take advantage of that and use it to help your
business grow.
