Columbus… getting their DIY festival feet wet

I have been taking an extended vacation in Columbus (my hometown) as RethinkPopMusic preps for our largest experiential marketing campaign to date… which will coincide with our upcoming CMJ showcases. Details for both of these will come soon.

In the meantime I will be entrenching myself in the “scene” here covering Music Week Columbus and a few shows at The Basement and Newport Music Hall. If you’re in Columbus I highly recommend attending Music Week Columbus as it reminds us of our very own Bushwick Walkabout Festival. 3 days, 3 venues and a slew of local, regional and national talent that should NOT be missed considering limited three day passes are only $30!!!

We have worked with quite a few of these bands in the past and are excited to see Brooklynites Deluka and Beast Make Bomb and Columbus locals Way Yes (recently signed to Lefse records) and Phantods. While these may not be the massive national acts one typically associates with a music festival, founders Jacob Wooten and Andrew Dodson have got the formula right: Book the best local talent and keep the money-grubbing “industry professionals” away. Regardless of attendance, in my opinion Music Week Columbus is already a success.
