Cincinnati Concerts: Tuesday, September 29
Not a whole lot going on around town musically tonight. In fact, after browsing the calenders of all the music spots in town, I could only find one show. That show is free and takes place in the back room of the Northside Tavern, with Akron, Ohio’s, Drummer, and Cincinnati’s Brian Olive. Drummer was formed earlier …

Final Thoughts on MidPoint 2009
Aside from the falling out brought on by the Cadillac Ranch, MidPoint 2009 appeared to be a huge success that was enjoyed by all. Each year the festival brings in a new class of bands and venues, so I’m anxious to see what changes next year will bring. The addition of the Lite Brite Test …

MidPoint Day Three Review
Third and Final Day of MidPoint 2009 The third and final day of the 2009 MidPoint Music Festival came much too quickly, while the first two days remain just a fuzzy memory of the past.

MidPoint Day Two Review
Running Behind Schedule Day Two of the MidPoint Music Festival started much later for me than I had planned, and the entire night involved a lot of running back and forth between downtown Cincinnati and Newport, Kentucky to the Southgate House. Because I was running behind schedule, I had missed some bands on my must-see list, …

MidPoint Day One Review

MidPoint Day One Preview
MidPoint 2009 has nearly arrived and unfortunately it doesn’t appear the rain will be letting up anytime soon. Rain or no rain I’m still planning on attending the kickoff party on Fountain Square – that is unless it gets canceled. If things do go on as scheduled, I’m sure Dan McCabe of MidPoint and CityBeat will …

Weekly Music Releases
The week’s only halfway over, but it already feels like it’s one of the best weeks I’ve had (as a music fan) since Bonnaroo back in June. Putting MidPoint aside for a moment, this week was literally stacked full of releases from amazing bands. Topping this week’s new releases (for me) is the long-awaited Monsters Of Folk album. …

McCabe Brings MidPoint and Lite Brite Together
Six years ago Dan McCabe founded the Lite Brite Test, a music and film festival that featured some of the best up-and-coming artist’s both locally and internationally, and everywhere in between. I don’t want to take too much away from the article that the Cincinnati Enquirer released yesterday, so you can check out the full article right here. …
