05.17.10WMC Fest Preview: Parachute JournalistsParachute Journalists 4:00 pm - 4:30 pm Saturday, May 22nd Parish Hall, WMC Fest It's fitting that Parachute Journalists are opening up the band portion of WMC this weekend, seeing as 2/3 of the groups members make up the founding team of the festival itself. If there's anyone who should bestow the honor of breaking in the Parish Hall stage on Saturday, it's these guys. Led by Adam Wagner on guitar/vox, Jeff Finley on drums, and Jeff Steinwachs on the bass, its clear that the newly formed trio are still getting their bearings, drawing on influences from Latterman to Bob Dylan. But, there's promise ...

No matter what might be posted about us in popular media - I truly believe you are lucky if you live here. We have ...

01.12.10Have You Met… The Lighthouse and the Whaler?I've always said that the extensive Metroparks system is one of the best things about Cleveland, and now - along with never-ending bike trails, families of deer, and more pavilions than you can count - we can add the birthplace of one of Cleveland's catchiest up-and-coming local bands to the list. The Lighthouse and the Whaler are a collection of strapping Cleveland lads who met in the park one day to "jam" and ended up falling in love with the music they could make. I was introduced to the heartwarming folk stylings of TLATW this Friday when they were featured at ...
