A man who fell through a fourth floor window at the Petersen Events Center on the Pitt campus has died.

Joseph Kimutis, 19, of McDonald, was taken to UPMC Presbyterian after the fall, where he died just after midnight. Pittsburgh police Lt. Dan Herrmann said Mr. Kimutis was attending a Furthur concert.


Lt. Herrmann said that there had been at least one witness who said the man appeared to have gotten into a three-point stance, "like a football player," yelled "Hike!" and charged the window, which he estimated was an inch thick and double-paned.

Toxicology reports are pending.

Blind Boys of Alabama (June 3): This gospel institution, which dates back to 1939, has won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and sung for two presidents at the White House. The Boys' latest project, due May 4, is its first country gospel record, featuring contributions from Jamey Johnson, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr. and more.

• Tom Tom Club (June 4): It's the 30th anniversary of this funky new wave group that split off as a side project from Talking Heads and scored such hits as "Genius of Love" and "Wordy Rappinghood." It will be a homecoming for Pittsburgh native/drummer Chris Frantz, who leads the Club with his wife, singer-bassist Tina Weymouth.

• James McMurtry with Jonny Burke (June 6): The Austin singer-songwriter is a literate storyteller in the tradition of his father, author Larry McMurtry. He adds an element of political protest, exemplified by the anti-war song "We Can't Make It Here." The opener is a twangy rocker, also from Austin, who released his debut, "Distance and Fortune," last year.

• The Baseball Project with J. Roddy Walston & The Business (June 7): Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, R.E.M.) and Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate) front this indie-rock "supergroup" which has released two albums of baseball-themed songs, touching on the legacies of Satchel Paige, Willie Mays, Ted Williams and Pittsburgh's own Harvey Haddix. R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck and drummer Linda Pitmon (Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3) round out the roster. Don't miss the white-hot J. Roddy Walston & The Business, led by a piano-pounding wildman from Tennessee.

• Tea Leaf Green (June 8): Formed in the late '90s, this San Francisco jam band takes its cues from -- surprise! -- the Grateful Dead.

• Formula 412 (June 9): This live Pittsburgh rap-rock band, featuring former members of Strict Flow, recently released "Reality Show" and won "Best Group" at the Pittsburgh Hip Hop Awards.

• Brandi Carlile (June 10): The folk-rocker from Seattle, one of Rolling Stone's "10 Artists to Watch in 2005," has released three albums, including the T-Bone Burnett-produced "The Story." Her songs should be familiar to fans of "Grey's Anatomy."

• Ricky Skaggs (June 11): The country-bluegrass musician has been in the music business for more than 50 years, having launched his career when he was a mere 5. A veteran of Ralph Stanley's Clinch Mountain Boys and Emmylou Harris' Hot Band, he's won 14 Grammys.

• Buckwheat Zydeco (June 12): Singer-accordion player Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural, Jr., a festival favorite here since the mid-'90s, closes TRAF with one of his raucous Cajun dance parties.

going to see James Cotton and his Superharp Band tonight at BB King's club in Manhattan. James Cotton was the harp (harmonica) player for the Muddy Waters Band during their resurgence in the 1970's. He can no longer sing, but he can still blow the harp like only few people can. No doubt it will be great

it was fantastic. He had Darrell Nulisch (sp ?) singing with him. Great great stuff. And he brought a 10 year old kid on stage (looked just like Bieber) who he called his "musical grandson" (not sure if he was his real grandson--Cotton is black and this kid was white), and the kid sang and played harp on Hoochie Coochie Man. Good stuff !

That looks like a good concert to attend. Here in Toronto, Eric Church is opening for Brad Paisley when he comes in July I think. I hope to to go that one, as Paisley puts on a good show.

[domafia]

Stephen Lynch last night and Lollapalooza later this summer are my current highlights.

Got back from BRAD PAISLEY.......Blake Shelton kicked ass too.

[WildKat]

Kenny Chesney next week.....there will be more wool there than you could shake a stick at

[LordCC]

Paisley is coming to Toronto in early July and last year's concert was off the hook. Hopefully, this years will be no exception as well. I think Chesney is coming to the ACC later as well, can't remember the exact date.

Wild Kat

How was Brad Paisley's concert this year compared with last years?

[WildKat]

I was so drunk, I couldnt give you anything that could remotely be accurate about the quality of the concert. ....This is the second concert in a month that I dont remember the concert...I work 10.5 hours during the day then am exhausted when I get to these concerts....start throwing down, Jagr, and shots of Crown and its over
