Why does it seem like we haven’t had enough shows to go to in recent months, and now all of a sudden there are two or three things every night worth attending. So much so that I nearly forgot about this excellent show on Saturday night. Gardens & Villa, a band that quickly got my attention last year, are headlining a free show over at MOTR and I can’t recommend these guys enough.

Wait, maybe I can….one of my absolute favorite local bands, Sacred Spirits, who also made my top albums list of 2011, is opening the show. Yeah, under the radar double bills that are FREE don’t get much better than this.

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.
