After experiencing Bourbon & Beyond last weekend, I came back to Cincinnati with fond memories that still linger like the sweet burn of Kentucky bourbon.

After playing a scorching afternoon set on the first day of Louisville’s Bourbon & Beyond Festival, Charlie Starr (lead vocals and guitar) and Brit Turner (drums) were kind enough to take few minutes to chat with me about growing up steeped in musical influences,  being replaced by holograms , the inequity of who gets in to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and why the owners may want to waterproof it.

Strobobean started out just over a year ago with Katrina Eresman (Guitar, vocals) and Jake Langknecht (Drums, Synth and vocals); Brianna Kelly (Bass and vocals) joined last October, so it’s almost her first-year anniversary.
