I write about local music stuff in West Virginia and nearby Ohio. I post lots of information about the Greens and musical benefit events I organize for my non profit organization. Americana music focused.
The band, 600lbs of Sin performed yesterday at our outdoor music festival here in Parkersburg, and really impressed the audience. They were engaging and diverse in their music, and we look for them to come to Parkersburg again. They are playing on the weekend of the July 4th at the riverfront in Charleston (on the 2nd).

Today is the day for our outdoor music festival here in Parkersburg; a benefit for CHS of WV-Parkersburg. 7 music acts, some refreshments, some things for the kids, and a second stage of music to boot. Starts at 2 pm with Steve Hussey, and concludes with a set by the Greens starting around 9:30 pm. Visit the facebook site "mid ohio valley americana music tribute series" for all the information. I'll give a report on the event after a busy day today. Thanks to everyone who has been volunteering in so many ways to make this thing happen. Nick Barry, Liecus, Chemical Valley, Flame in the Cellar, 600lbs of Sin round out the line up of WV musicians performing. Its at the Ohio Valley Rowing Club down the end of 19th St. in Parkersburg (on the river) (the old water works brick building) under the toll bridge). $10 donation helps CHS in its work with area children, youth, and families.

I attended a benefit tribute last night at the Adelphia in Marietta. This was a great line up of musicians, paying tribute to the Beatles songbook. Don Dixon, The Carpenter Ants came from distances away to participate at the request of Todd Burge, the organizer of the event to raise funds and awareness of a Food Allergy Network. Local acts included: John Walsh, Steve Hussey, Vinnie Mele, Joseph Hale, RJ Crowdery among a number of quality performances.
