Jason Wainscott's Profile

Kentucky native, Chris Stapleton brought his All-American Road Show Tour with Brent Cobb and the incomparable Marty Stuart, to Cincinnati to close the summer concert season at Riverbend. The rain held off and it was a fitting end to a pretty great run of shows on the river in 2018.

Pentatonix is nothing if not appreciative of their fans. They thank them often and promote positive messages of diversity, acceptance, following your dreams, and being who you are. 

Scott and Seth Avett have been singing and performing together for so long it’s a little erie how well they harmonize. On Tuesday night, they brought their brand of Blood Harmony to a sold-out show at the Fraze Pavillion up in Kettering, Ohio.

What does it mean to be southern rock? The Tedeschi Trucks Band brought their Wheels of Soul tour to Cincinnati Sunday night. They were joined by the Drive-By Truckers and the Marcus King Band, and each group demonstrated different niches within the niche of southern rock. 

There’s a spectrum where many musicians fall when they perform live. On one end, they can further their mythology by putting on a larger-than-life show with big lights, pyrotechnics, and massive sound and visual arrangements that seek to elevate the act to something otherworldly. The concert version of a Marvel movie.
