Jared Bowers's Profile

Jared Bowers

A former DIY booking dude with a love for under-heard bands and an appreciation for live music (when he can get to a show), Jared's a father of 2 super weird kids, married to an even weirder woman... and he wouldn't have it any other way. Writing about music since high school, he' evangelistic when it comes to the music he loves, friendly with everyone who cares to chat and always looking for the next noodly, off-time and mathy guitar driven band that nobody's ever hear of. He writes about local music and reviews albums as often as he's able.

Album Review: all of the things you said by coastal club

I’ll just start this one off by saying all of the things you said, coastal club’s latest release, is one of the most deliciously produced albums to come out in the context of the current renaissance happening within the larger Cincy scene.

Album Review: Burn Bros Forever by Burn Bros

While the music just released may be new, Burn Bros Forever is an EP that’s been a long time coming.

Review: Vampire Weekend at the ICON Festival Stage

I’m glad I was there and could be front and center for a masterful, energetic, and slightly chaotic performance from Vampire Weekend.
