If you look them up on Facebook you'll see a bunch of great videos from the set. During the opening act, I noticed that Greg Harris, CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was next to us and using his cell phone to video the band. I figured he must have a family member in the group and it clicked when the lead singer said "I'm Jack Harris" and I realized he looked like a young version of Greg. I saw Greg again during the main set so I introduced myself and asked if it was his son and Greg said yes. I told him that they did a great job (truthfully!). I also thanked Greg for hosting Boys lead singer Doug McKean and the Ohio City Singers at the RRHOF last weekend. Greg said "Doug is a hell of a front man." I thought it was very cool to hear my good friend Doug described that way by the RRHOF CEO! For reference, during that Ohio City Singers set at the RRHOF, eight of the nine band members sang lead vocals on at least one song. Doug sang lead on several songs and also, throughout the course of the set, played keyboards, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, alto sax, tenor sax, and drums. The dude is just a hell of a musician and a great songwriter too. And we've been friends ever since meeting as Freshmen in jazz band with Paul Ferguson at CWRU over 25 years ago. Thank you for humoring me and my rambling story. And definitely check out those bands sometime. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

I'm sure the show will be great, but it's far from asserting ourselves as the home of rock and roll. The manufactured hype would be different if it were 1992.

February 12, 20241 yr via bv — Mike Kinsella (of American Football, Cap’n Jazz, etc) has announced a new Owen album, The Falls of Sioux, due April 26 via Polyvinyl (pre-order). It was co-produced by S. Carey and Zach Hanson, who also both worked on the last two Owen albums, and the first single “Beaucoup” finds Mike incorporating electronics in the vein of his recent LIES project. It comes with a hazy video that was filmed at a speakeasy in Chicago. “I’m not sure if ‘Beaucoup’ is a lusty Love Song or a lovely Lust Song,” Mike says. “Everyone at Weird Life did a great job capturing the seedy side of it, as well as the shimmery / flirty side, visually hitting (and bending) the same note between the notes for the music video.” The album also features Now, Now’s KC Dalager on backing vocals, string arrangements by Russell Durham (Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird), synths by Corey Bracken of American Football’s touring band, and “a few other friends” contributing upright bass, pedal steel, and other embellishments.

February 19, 20241 yr Interesting- Downtown Cleveland Alliance will be taking over programming of Public Square from the Group Plan Commission. https://signalcleveland.org/cleveland-public-square-to-get-new-landlord/ “…After hearing that the commission has been unresponsive to people trying to book events there this summer, Signal Cleveland learned of the behind-the-scenes discussions to change management of Public Square. It appears that Downtown Cleveland Inc., a nonprofit that promotes downtown, is in line to take a lead in the square’s future. Downtown Cleveland Inc. was formerly known as Downtown Cleveland Alliance before rebranding itself in 2023. The organization recently announced that it had won a $100,000 grant to make some modest upgrades and changes on the square. “ When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
