Abstract
Rich Engler, bona fide Pittsburgh music scene legend, has lives a certifiably rock and roll life. Not the kind that finds him either mobbed by legions of adoring fans or sleeping one off in a gutter near you. Instead, both on his own and as one-half of the DiCesare-Engler empire, he spent nearly 50 years bringing the world's most popular (as well as some of the most cutting-edge) music to Pittsburgh as a concert promoter. According to his count, he presented up to 5,000 shows, while also becoming co-owner of Pittsburgh's famed Stanley Theatre.
