FARMULA FEST IS BACK - bigger and better than ever! This year they have relocated to AJ Jolly Park in Alexandria, KY and have extended the festival to two full days and nights!

I’ve been a fan of Ryan Porter’s music since I heard the first note off of his sophomore album (The Optimist). When I saw that Kamasi Washington was booked to play at The Rose Music Center the first thing I did was reach out to Ryan Porter to see if he was touring along with Kamasi and if so if he’d be willing to get together for an interview. 

This year marks the fifth year for Louder than Life, the return of Bourbon & Beyond, and the premiere of Hometown Rising. It’s an ambitious, multi-year plan that continues to evolve. Cincymusic chatted with Danny Hayes about the upcoming festivals and what it means to Louisville.  

Featuring solo performances by Anthony Raneri of Bayside, Geoff Rickley of Thursday, Chris Conley of Saves the Day, Vinnie Caruana of The Movielife and I Am the Avalanche, with local support from Joe Anderl of The 1984 Draft.

Whispering Beard Folk Festival has departed from the beloved campground in Friendship, IN and is setting up shop in the beautiful Smale Riverfront Park in Downtown Cincinnati this Thursday through Saturday!

Hamilton’s Whimmydiddle Country Music Festival returned this past weekend, bringing a 2-day ticketed event to the downtown RiversEdge Amphitheater. Similarly, to last year’s inaugural offering, the event went beyond the typical idea of country music with a more diverse than expected musical lineup throughout the day on Friday and Saturday.

Absinthe is the band’s second full-length release, and where their self-titled debut was a little rough around the edges, Warrick & Lowell have polished the songs and sound up a little bit, and developed a sound that is newer and richer, but still authentically them.

Few bands can live up to the legacy that is Iron Maiden. They have influenced the likes of Metallica, Ghost and countless others, even local bands such as Solar Flare. And with good reason too. Iron Maiden has been an unstoppable force since forming in East London way back in 1975. For any band to stay relevant for that long and still pack arenas and each and every show is a truly amazing feat.

The release party is tomorrow at MOTR Pub. Joining AP are Cincinnati legends Sons Of Silverton with Dj Rare Groove, and Diveyede hailing from Seattle, Washington.
