The Clifton Heights Music Festival
March 9th, 2010
Posted in Concerts, Local Music, music festivals
For as long as I can remember, Cincinnati has been a festival kind of town. Whether we’re celebrating our German heritage at Oktoberfest, or sampling the tastiest of foods at the Taste of Cincinnati and Goetta Fest, the people here love to get out and experience all the best things the city has to offer. More specifically, I’ve noticed over the past several years that people here really take their music seriously, and that is why we’re starting to see an over-abundance of music festivals. Don’t take that as a bad thing though; I can never get enough music.
The Clifton Heights Music Festival is returning in a few weeks, and judging by the lineup, this looks to be the biggest and best yet. The festival takes place over two nights, April 2-3 (hey that’s my birthday weekend!), and obviously it takes place in the city of Clifton, in six bars near Calhoun and West McMillan Streets, just past the University of Cincinnati. Tickets and beer are cheap, and there’s plenty of amazing Cincinnati bands playing, covering all styles of music. Let’s take a look at the daily schedule:

Local Musicians Pay Tribute to Woodstock with Rohsstock
August 12th, 2009
Posted in Local Music
This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the historical Woodstock Music Festival, and there’s sure to be a number of events in the area celebrating the fact. One of those events is called Rohsstock. You guessed it – it’s taking place at Rohs Street Cafe in University Heights. Benefiting the Women’s Connection, this night of music will feature several of the area’s best musicians, each playing one song from the original Woodstock, on top of their own songs. Those artists include singer/songwriter’s Ryan Adcock, Greg Mahan, Brian Ewing and Chris Collier, Americana/Roots bands Mike Fair & the Adventure Seekers and Uncle Smoking Joe & the Solid Pack and rock, pop and soul band the Beau Alquizola Band. The show starts at 7 pm with tickets at $5.
