Pittsburgh does play a role in The Ghost Club’s music, though. The city has a lot of rock fans, so their new album will feature a lot of rock influence, according to Dunegan.

She first saw the band perform at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Pittsburgh and saw so much potential in them. “This is all they’ve wanted to do, just begging to get out on the road,” Levitt said.

The skies were in a moody dance leading up to this year's Oceans Calling Music Festival, and storms were threatening the coast.

The festival was one weekend off from getting ruined again by a storm, Ophelia, which would have been quite ironic given that The Lumineers were a headlining act. However, Mother Nature heard the cries of the music fans yearning for one final hurrah in the 2023 festival season.
