Calendar girls. The phrase bring to mind pictures of scantily clad women draped over cars, tacked to the wall above a toolbox. For decades, businesses have been pairing models with products in a blatant attempt to sell you their product with the thinly veiled excuse of “giving you something nice to look at.” Enter the 2012 Ohio Tattooed Girls Calendar by local photographer Summer Lin. The Ohio Tattooed Girls Calendar is different. “I wanted it to be about the girls,” Lin said during our interview. Flipping through the pages makes that even more obvious. The calendar has taken Lin...

Ask an Akronite where the hippest neighborhood in town is, and they’ll undoubtedly point you in the direction of Highland Square. The eclectic, progressive area is home to dozens of superb, longstanding local businesses, historic buildings and many creative minds. (Earlier this summer, it was announced that the stylish Montrose organic grocery store Mustard Seed Market would be opening their third location here.) On September 3, this year’s installment of the annual arts festival Art in the Square will make one of Akron’s coolest communities exponentially cooler by adding vendors, foo...
Market Garden Brewery, Ohio's latest microbrewery, opened its doors this past Monday to the public and beer enthusiasts throughout the state. With plans to open dating back nearly a year, the much buzzed about brewery finally made its debut in Cleveland's Ohio City this week. Co-owner Sam McNulty is no stranger to the craft beer industry. McNulty currently runs The Bier Markt (a Belgian beer house), Bar Cento (an Italian restaurant) and Speakeasy (a culinary cocktail bar) all situated in Ohio City. For Market Garden Brewery, he teamed up with brewmaster Andy Tveekrem, who previously had no...

Job for a Cowboy Tues. 12/14 @ Peabody’s, Cleveland For a while, all anyone would say about this band was how young they all were. All that has changed, and their rise to the top has been fast. They’ve created a blend of musicianship and cutting-edge songcraft to treat you to some modern extreme in intense music. The southern Ohio band Skeletonwitch will offer an extreme open. The Queers / Kepi Ghoulie Tues. 12/14 @ Grog Shop, Cleveland It took The Queers 11 years of the grind to achieve some sort of notoriety. Which is a crime, as their catchy pop-punk show is a wick...
1. Wed.-Sat. 11/17-20 @ Kent Stage, Kent It's a folk fest, people! The best of local and national acts are playing Kent all week so don't miss it. Brazilian music night is Wednesday. Kent native Jessica Lea Mayfield and others play Thursday. The legendary Loudon Wainwright III and Shawn Colvin hit it Friday. Finally, Eddie from Ohio and Vienna Tang headline Saturday. 2. Thur. 11/18 @ Peabody's, Cleveland The over the top violence and wildly insane artwork of Cannibal Corpse is... AWESOME! Death metal like this flies in the face of all that oppose it. ...
1. Mon. 11/8 @ Beachland, Cleveland You might not know his name right off the bat but you probably know Zane Lamprey from his show Three Sheets. You know, that show where a guy travels around the world, say to places like Russia or Chile, and proceeds to get hammered on the local spirits. Anyway, he’s written some songs about his life and experiences and is performing them as well as his standup comedy tonight. 2. Thur. 11/11 @ Kent Stage, Kent “Explosive Canadian Celtic Fusion” sounds like something that happens the morning after you mix too man...
1. All week, 10/4-9 @ All Over Mike Lenz is simply one of the best musicians in the area and he works his butt off to prove it. He brings groovy delta blues most nights of the week- you’ve got to catch his act at least once every couple months to keep your street cred in the parts. He’s got solo gigs Monday @ Annabell’s, Tuesday (Akron) @ Northside (Akron- weekly), Wednesday @ The Outpost (Kent- weekly), The Towpath Cabin (Massillon), as a duo with Peggy Doyle Friday at Maize Valley Market & Winery (Hartville) and with his Highway 61 at The Suburb Inn (Akron...
