The first-ever, “A Very Yinzer Christmas,” featured performances by more than 25 local music legends and took place at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall on Dec. 7, 2022, to benefit kids and adults from Band Together Pittsburgh – all who live on the autism spectrum.
The event, coordinated by Pittsburgh, singer songwriter and music veteran, Joe Wodarek, will tap the talents of some of Pittsburgh’s favorite musicians and friends, including Band Together Pittsburgh musicians, who will perform the season’s favorite songs. The event coincides with the release of a new Christmas album performed by many of the performers.
“The talent in the Pittsburgh area is incredible and spans generations. I want to celebrate all the talent we have in the city while doing something meaningful for some great people from Band Together Pittsburgh,” said Wodarek. “I’m so thankful for the outpouring of support from my fellow musicians and our media partner, 3WS and iHeart, and everyone who is stepping up to make this evening so special for so many.”
Band Together Pittsburgh is a non-profit 501(c3) with a mission is to enrich the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum, through participation, education and mentorship, using the power of music.

“This will be a celebration of music and the performance lineup is a parade of Pittsburgh’s music royalty – from Scott Blasey of the Clarks to Donnie Iris to Pete Hewlett and Nied’s Hotel Band and Joe Grushecky,” said Wodarek. “There are so many performers, so get ready to rock the holidays like only Pittsburgh yinzers can.”
