Our favorite thing that happens in Cincinnati just might be MusicNOW. Since it began, I’ve enjoyed watching it grow every year and every year bring in tons of talent.

This year is no exception, with another great bunch of incredibly talented musicians coming to Cincinnati and Memorial Hall. This year, The Emery is serving as a venue as well.

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.
