Cincinnati singer/songwriter Noah Smith continues to follow his Country muse on his full-length album debut, ‘Long Cut’

It all screams, “Let’s pass the clawhammer and tell apocryphal tales of Bill Monroe hootenannies.” But…
Recommended Concerts: Descendents at Bogart’s (Aug. 24)
Where would Pop Punk be without the band who started it all? While Descendents’ Hardcore peers spent the early ’80s penning blast beat laden anti-drug anthems and blistering diatribes against the Reagan era’s crass consumerism, the SoCal quartet’s songcraft was uniquely personal, dealing in unrequited love and teenage angst without sacrificing a lick of raw…

REVIEW: Sex-for-sale the subject of new documentary “Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood”
Fairly early on in Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood, the engaging and entertaining documentary from director Matt Tyrnauer (Valentino: The Last Emperor), we hear its subject, the now 95-year-old George Albert “Scotty” Bowers, make a reference to “squares” — the quaint post-World War II slang term for straight-laced conservative types.
