Most Cincinnatians remember the late night TV debut of Heartless Bastards last year, when lead singer Erika Wennerstrom quickly corrected David Letterman after he stated the band hailed from Austin. Of course, Heartless Bastards do currently hail from the live music capitol of the world, but their roots are deeply entrenched in their hometown still, Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Fiery Furnaces have suddenly become an band that makes Cincinnati a regular tour stop. We have been around to see them play three times in the past three years, each time with a new album in tow, and now we get the Friedberger siblings again this winter, while they are out on a jaunt promoting their record from 2009, I’m Going Away.

The boys of These United States never fail to impress me with their enthusiasm and talent. After all, the guys have released three kick ass albums in a pretty short period of time and the rumor is they are already knee deep in album number four. So it’s no surprise that I really got a kick out of this new video from the band.

This past Friday night The Deep Vibration stopped through town, playing the ballroom of Southgate House as an opener for Sarah Borges & The Broken Singles. While the crowd arrived early, the tables and chairs were out which prompted most folks to sit throughout the entire evening, even for the headliner.

2010 marks the 5th year that Bryce Dessner and the MusicNOW crew have set up shop in Cincinnati, bringing incredible musicians to Memorial Hall downtown. And with the announcement today of another great group of musicians set to play this year, I thought it would be fun to look back at previous years.

I first heard Bowerbirds when their stunning debut, Hymns for a Dark Horse garnered attention from The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle. ENS would blindly follow John Darnielle into a volcano, so of course Bowerbirds captured our attention. The Raleigh-based folk group signed to Dead Oceans and in July 2009 released their second full-length, Upper Air. The band returned to Cincinnati on Wednesday in support of their latest album along with Julie Doiron.
