Java and 'Revolving Jones'—a Harmonic Combination

Harry Funk. Ray Margiotta. Rich Held. Rob Green.

These four local men comprise "Revolving Jones," a classic rock cover band in Pittsburgh. Tonight, the four-piece band plays at in from 7:30-9 p.m. 

Rhythm guitarist Harry Funk, of Upper St. Clair, has been a journalist for 27 years and said he considers himself a "pure hobby musician." 

"We all love music," he said. "We love the fun of it."

The band has played at Farmhouse before, but not since its new ownership. 

"It's a very nice venue," he said. "It's a nice and cozy place. We'll set up by the fireplace."

Funk said the name, "Revolving Jones," stems from the punchline of a joke—a joke he said most likely they'll share tonight. 

Two of the band members are Pittsburgh transplants who grew up in New York and New Jersey. 

"Our lead guitarist, Ray Margiotta, is from Long Island," he said. "We're pleased to have him in the band. 

The band's bass player is Peters Township resident Rich Held.

"He's like our driving force," Funk said. "He keeps everybody in line. He's a really nice guy. Rich originally set us up with the folks at Farmhouse."

Drummer Rob Green just retired. He took up the drums 10 years ago, Funk said. 

"Revolving Jones" will be playing classic rock cover songs and songs that are still popular, he said. Funk said they'd like to continue to play at Farmhouse. They love to entertain, he said.

"Stop on by at 7:30 p.m. It's free. Support Farmhouse Coffee," he said. "We like to support local businesses and the folks who make it all possible."
