Spring has sprung and music is in the air at Fountain Square!

2021 was a weird year. While I was VERY excited to attend live shows again, the pandemic was (is) very much still in affect - so I treaded lightly.

On Tuesday, January 26th at 6p (EST), CincyMusic and Cinci Folk Alliance will be hosting the best damn Live Stream Festival you have ever seen on a Tuesday.

CincyMusic, Cincy Groove, and The Women’s Groovement have teamed up for two nights of Live Streaming music from 24 amazing bands and artists to benefit The Southgate House Revival on Friday June 19th and Saturday June 20th!

In an effort to help support their recording acts during the current pandemic, Sofaburn Records are donating 100% of their online merch sales directly to their artists.

Tonight is the night to catch Jeremy Pinnell at The Southgate House Revival for a homecoming show! Jeremy Pinnell spends a lot of time on the road so make sure and come and catch him at home when you can!
