Last summer on a Friday after a long work week, you could leave your downtown office and stroll over to Fountain Square here in Cincinnati for some great live music. The Indie Rock Summer events were incredible last year, and it looks like this year it’s gonna be another success.

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
