It’s common knowledge that I am a total nut for live music. Here is a list of shows coming up in Columbus, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati that I recommend attending. If I could clone myself and had a flying car I would be at all of these, but the bolded concerts are the ones that I will (or try my darnedest) to attend. If you know of any other shows in the area that you would like to see here, shoot me an email and I’ll update this list.
