Tom Jenkins's Profile

Wednesday night, the Wilco front man played to a crowd of what seemed to be longtime fans of his. Fans from the Uncle Tupelo days, to diehards of Wilco, and those who may even have been fans of his family band Tweedy. 

Ona’s no stranger to the Cincinnati music scene, even going as far to say that they look at Cincy as a second home. Each show they have done here continues to grow in size along with a dedicated fan base.

Saturday night, at Southgate House Revival nineteen bands paid their respect to Merle at the third annual Hagfest. The ticket proceeds for the festival were donated to the Appalachian Prison Book Project, that help provide books and education to inmates. A cause that Merle would have surely been proud to support. 

Sunday, Ona will play Madison Live in Covington and for them it’s sort of a home coming. “We sort of see ourselves as a Cincinnati band in some respects… Cincy was always one of our favorite places to play,” Goodall said. 

From playing any show, any venue, to anyone who will listen is pretty much how it goes when you’re beginning your career. Only few actually succeed in an industry now that requires you to not only be unique, but original and have a voice that resonates with a group of people. It’s something special when you can connect with an entire region of the country let alone having fans all over the world. 

Grateful Dead legend and the “Other One,” Bob Weir will be at Taft Theatre Wednesday night with one of his many changing touring bands Bob Weir and the Wolf Brothers.

There are a lot of firsts that a young band has to go through. Your first show, your first record, and your first tour. West Virginia based trio Hello June played their first Cincinnati show at the Northside Tavern Tuesday night to a fairly large weekday crowd.  

Eric Church has always been an interesting person when looking at where he stands on the country spectrum. At the beginning of his career, you could stick Church right in with the rest of modern country music, with maybe a tinge of edginess to his music. But as he’s grown as an artist, Church has begun to sit in the middle possibly helping bridge the gap between these sects. 

There are some shows and some artists that you feel you just can’t miss when they come to town. That artist you feel like maybe we don’t appreciate as much now but years later will look back to their songs and work as a point of influence.

Since 2004, Panic! At The Disco has come a long way. Brendon Urie has taken them from the emo kids in Las Vegas singing about shutting "Goddamn doors" to a powerhouse arena act that can sell out venues like the U.S. Bank Arena.

North Carolina’s Sarah Shook and the Disarmers took to the stage at the Southgate House Revival in Newport, Thursday night. And although she started the show with a serious demeanor that didn’t last for long. Shook was personable and seemed to love playing the venue in Northern Kentucky. 

Eastern Kentucky’s Red Headed Stranger, Tyler Childers will be back in Northern Kentucky at the Madison Theatre for three nights. A stretch that will last almost a week with dates beginning Monday March 25^th, Wednesday the 27^th, and Thursday the 28^th.
