What We Do

Autism Open Mics

Band Together Pittsburgh has created an opportunity for those on the spectrum to create and perform music.

From family friendly open stages, to mentorship and support, BTP wants every individual to realize the joy of musical expression regardless of talent or skill level.

Spectrum Talent Search

We are so pleased to announce that we will be launching a brand new music program… called, “Spectrum Talent Search”.

Basically this will be an “American Idol” type of production, only in our case, everyone participates and everyone is a winner!

Professional DJ Music

Band Together Pittsburgh is thrilled to offer professionally trained DJs for your parties and events. Our talent pool of individuals on the Autism Spectrum continues to grow and continues to “Wow” us with their talents.

Like our performers, we support our DJs through training, equipment, securing gigs and transportation and support at events.

Drum Circles

BTP Drum Circles are named after our dear friend and original Wild Cherry (Play That Funky Music White Boy) drummer Ron Beitle.

They are a great way for those on the spectrum to relax have fun, and develop interpersonal skills in a family friendly, inclusive environment.

Drum Circles are also therapeutic for anxiety.

Autism Friendly Social Connect

Autism Friendly Social Connect is a program for interaction for people on the spectrum. Meetings will have fun themes, games, and open conversation.

Always hosted and monitored by a Band Together PGH representative.
