"We’re so excited to have supported [the] efforts in Allentown — and couldn’t be happier to have contributed to the event."
-Primanti Bros. "Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to participate in your festival! I believe the resurgence of the community of Allentown as an important part of the City of Pittsburgh."
-Efeen Vodka "I had a great time at the festival yesterday. Great job to all involved. I saw a lot of great bands and performers. I supported 5 Allentown businesses while I was there. Nice neighborhood, and not as hard to get to as I thought."
- Larry, Le Creme attendee "I must give props of biblical proportions to SuperMonkey Recording Company for bringing yet another great, open-air music festival to Pittsburgh!... It kept people moving and entertained 100% of the time. I loved that it was right out in the neighborhood where anyone and everyone could get reeled in to check out music. And the best part was seeing so many familiar faces and having a few minutes to chat with all of you, many of whom I've not seen in a long time!... Christian had a great vision and curated some amazing artist. I hope it becomes a staple of the Pittsburgh music community for years to come."
- Chip Dominick, musician

Press Release: Le Creme Music and Arts Festival
October 4, 2017
Le Creme Music and Arts Festival Brings Local Musical Acts and World–Renowned Rock Band Living Colour to Pittsburgh’s Hilltop Community of Allentown
– Free Festival Aims to Attract Attention to Allentown’s Burgeoning Business and Civic Community –
Pittsburgh, PA, October 4, 2017 – Residents and visitors to Allentown, Pittsburgh’s Hilltop neighborhood, will soon have the opportunity to hear live music, indulge in food and drink from a variety of vendors, and explore the neighborhood’s eclectic offerings at “Le Creme Music and Arts Festival.” Beginning at 11:00am on Saturday, October 14th and running until 11:00pm, the free festival will bring together local musicians as well as Living Colour, the national American act renowned for fusing rock, metal and funk. Produced by Christian Groblewski of Allentown’s SuperMonkey Recording Company, Le Creme will be held in the heart of Allentown’s Business District, and aims to spotlight the diversity of the neighborhood while attracting Pittsburgh residents and visitors to the Hilltop.
“My goal with Le Creme is essentially twofold: to showcase the abundance of talented rock musicians found throughout Pittsburgh and to put the neighborhood of Allentown on the map,” says Groblewski. “With the inclusion of Living Colour – a band whose longevity and sound reflects the risk taking, ground breaking spirit of Allentown – all of us involved in Le Creme are confident that event-goers will want to come back to Allentown and keep exploring what’s here.”
Musical acts performing at Le Creme include Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers, Stone Wicked Souls, The Dirty Charms, and more. The winner of the 2017 PennRock Scholarship will also perform. Launched by Groblewski with support from Pat DiCesare, a highly-regarded rock concert promoter, the PennRock Scholarship is an annual showcase that promotes and builds talent for musicians, by musicians.
“Events like Le Creme spark a curiosity among Pittsburghers and visitors about Allentown and the Hilltop communities,” says Jonathan Vlasic, Owner and Executive Chef of Alla Famiglia. Together with several neighborhood businesses, Vlasic is working alongside Groblewski to mount Le Creme. “As a longstanding business owner in Allentown, I’ve always believed that this neighborhood is a hidden gem high atop our hills. I’m excited to share what we have to offer.”
In addition to Le Creme, events occurring in Allentown on Saturday, October 14th include the opening of Death Unearthed: The Morose, Morbid, and Macabre. A group art exhibition featuring artists from Pittsburgh and across the U.S., Death Unearthed showcases creative explorations of death and darkness. The opening runs from 6:00-10:00pm at Studio Eight27, located at 827 East Warrington Avenue. Like many neighborhood businesses, Studio Eight27 and its parent company, Fame15 Creative, are proud to support Le Creme.
