On May 14th, the family of Pittsburgh icon and “cosmic jazz chanteuse” Phat Man Dee tragically lost their home to a devastating fire. Though Man Dee’s mother and sister were not home at the time and remain safe, the tragedy has left them both with an immense recovery. Since the fire, Phat Man Dee has gathered friends and fans to provide support by way of services, donations, and even a GoFundMe campaign. Additionally, Altar Bar will host the Kivowitz-Blackstock Fire Recovery Benefit and Thank You Concert on June 2nd, 2016.
