Freddie Nelson will also be performing. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. Stage AE, 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore.

3) Tonight catch a flick at the Pittsburghplex. Watch Jack the Giant  Slayer at the West End Elliott Overlook (PG-13) as part of the Cinema in the Park series.  This 2013 film is an American movie that weaves the English fairy tales Jack and the Beanstalk and Jack The Giant Slayer.
