Tonight in Columbus: WCRS Benefit, Relay Recording opening party

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Joel Oliphint

It’s at Carabar, so it’s free, but a portion of the bar revenue goes to community radio station WCRS (102.1/98.3). Music starts at 9:30.

Jon Fintel’s Relay Recording is also hosting a grand opening party for the new N. 6th st. location in the Discovery District (is that a real thing?). Eye, Ease the Medic, She Bears and Harboring Ghosts will perform a live set that will be recorded. Full press release:

“Columbus, OH, December 8, 2011: Relay Recording is excited to announce the grand opening of their new location on N. 6th Street in the Columbus Discovery District. The Studio will celebrate the opening of their new location with a free concert in the Studio Live Room on Friday January 6th, 2012, starting at 8pm., with performances by Eye, Ease The Medic, She Bears, and Harboring Ghosts. All four acts have recently worked on new recordings with Engineer and Owner, Jon Fintel.

Relay Recording is a state of the art music recording facility offering over thirty-eight hundred square feet of creative space. With the best in pro audio equipment and the some of the finest in vintage instruments available we are able to achieve sounds worthy of our client?s creativity. The downtown recording studio offers everything to take a project from start to finish including recording, mixing, and mastering.

Born in 2002, Relay Recording began as a small home recording studio in Bexley, OH. In a few short years with many successful records under their belt, including work with Our Lady Peace, John Legend, Willy Mason, and Ha Ha Tonka, the studio moved to a larger commercial space in downtown Columbus, OH. This location proved to be even more successful than the first but had one fatal flaw; it was located on property owned by State Auto and not seen as the valuable asset to the artistic community that it was. After six years of operation at this location the studio was torn down in 2010 and became a parking lot for State Auto employees. More than a year later, and with no small amount of hammered fingers in the interim, Jon Fintel has rebuilt Relay Recording in an even larger, more comprehensive facility, offering almost four thousand square feet of recording space in a convenient downtown location.

Relay Recording is excited to share its new space with the public at the Jan. 6 performance and looks forward to continuing its musical legacy at its Discovery District home. For more information, please contact Jon Fintel at 614-560-4540 or via email at jon@relayrecording.com.”

DW Recommends: Rosehips and friends, Treehouse, April 10th

Posted on April 10, 2009 by Ben Chenoweth


Rosehips

MP3: The Dead Are Watching (LIVE) by Rosehips

MP3: In News by The Nuclear Children

So with the Donewaiting Calander back under construction, plus a general sense of nostalgia, there’s been a bit of a push to start doing more show previews up front here in the bloggity. Seems like a good-cause show is decent place for me to reaccquaint myself with the business end of WordPress.

So this weekend- today, even. Friday. Treehouse. There’s gonna be a rock show with a lil’ benefit twist.  Organizing and headlining the gig are Rosehips, joined by (and sharing a guitar-player with) Rollo. Also on the bill are The Nuclear Children and Ease the Medic. It could be shear vocab coincidence, but I’m leaving open the possiblity that the last dudes were added out of clever band-name suitablity.

See, Cassie Lewis of Rosehips fame has put together a show to benefit some physicians, but more specifically to raise awareness about the state of naturopathic medicine in Columbus, and what it means to practice this sort of doctoring in our state. In addition to all the rock (see above for some MP3 offerings), the physicians of the Columbus Clinic of Naturopathy, Tamara Strickland and Jennifer Ball, will be in attendance at the venue for the evening.  They will be answering questions about their practice and also raffling off a first office call with the clinic!  This will be for a initial two hour consultation with a naturopathic physician.  There will be a table of information (including naturopathic medical schools), and free samples.

Despite the health care industry as a whole getting a lot of attention right now, I really didn’t know a ton about this stuff, so I asked Cassie to help me understand the motivation for the benefit show, and a little more about the issues involved. Her first person account is after the jump.

This is what Ms. Lewis wrote to me:

About three years ago, I found myself hired as the office manager for the naturopathic physicians at the Columbus Clinic of Naturopathy. Throughout these years, I have seen these physicians do wonderful things for people and their well-being through holistic means. Unfortunately, I have also seen that these wonderful things can be hindered by the fact that Ohio does not allow them to be licensed, despite their rigorous medical training.

As a musician, I have played benefits in the past with Rosehips, and we have been interested in organizing a benefit of our own. I felt that using a rock show as a vessel to bridge the naturopathic community with the music community would be a good way to raise awareness, while bringing some holistic health into the Columbus music conscious. Also, as insurance does not cover this type of care due to the licensing issues, the clinic is in need of not only awareness, but funds for medical supplies and continuity of care.
