From a glob to a glass pumpkin (with video)
Jack Pine has been making beautiful, glass pumpkins for the Circleville Pumpkin Show for near 20 years. Most of that time, he was producing his artwork from his home in Lakewood, Colorado.
Lydia Loveless
Don’t be fooled by her small stature.
Matt Monta
When describing his project, Columbus’s Matt Monta said he wanted to “create a sound that’s American…that resonates with American roots...It’s folk, blues, a little bit of country, maybe some rock ’n’ roll, too,” he said. At their best, Matt Monta and the Hot Coal Band play like a five-headed, gin-drunk hound dog growling in the face of contemporary over-produced plastic-pop music.
Super Desserts
The Super Desserts sat down to describe their unconventional approach to gigging in Columbus and penchant for unique instrumentation in their own brand of happy pop music. What do they sound like? A smiley-happy Sufjan Stevens listening to the Beach Boys on a sunny day.
Two Cow Garage
Andy Schell, Shane Sweeney, Micah Schnabel, Chris Flint and Cody Smith make up Two Cow Garage, a balls-to-the-wall band that has been playing Columbus and touring the rest of the country for years. Their brand of gritty alt.rock sounds a lot like Bob Dylan, if good ol' Bobby started out at CBGB's instead of the Gaslight Cafe.
Josh Krajcik Band
Josh Krajcik (vox, guitar, piano), Mitch Pinkston (bass) and Corey Gillen (drums) form the three-piece Josh Krajcik Band, who recently supported Gran Bel Fisher on his US tour for about a year. Now they're back in Columbus, playing a blend of dark roots rock, blues and soul.
Paper Airplane
Launched in early 2005, the group—which also includes Caleb Bandy (bass) and Teresa Kent (keyboards, vocals)—is writing and performing some of the best indie pop in Columbus. And that’s a good thing, considering the amount of bad indie pop that’s oozing from butt-hurt wannabe poets from the ‘burbs.
TOP Live & Local: Cowboy Hillbilly Hippy Folk
Cowboy Hillbilly Hippy Folk, a band with a name long enough to leave you tongue-tied, is a collection of "troubadours specializing in backcountry wailin', flatpickin', and hokum" says the band's website.
The Wet Darlings
The Wet Darlings are a hybrid of indie rock and soul with big guitar sound, sultry vocals and soulful harmonies; and describe their sound as "sex-pot rock." They sat down at Circa Studios for an exclusive interview and performed unplugged versions of two songs from their upcoming self-titled EP.
Dane Terry
Dane Terry is a Columbus native who majored in Orchestral Composition at The Ohio State University before deciding to try his hand at what he calls "neo-vaudeville," piano-based cabaret-rock. He now hosts a live monthly variety show at James Club 88, plays in the band Wartime Ladies, and performs all around Columbus.
