Good morning, Powell. Born from the isolation of pandemic lockdowns, local jazz collective Gault is proving that sometimes the most beautiful creations emerge from life's challenging moments. As they prepare to celebrate their second album "If the Heavens Came Down" with a May 22 concert at Dick's Den, the band has evolved beyond their quarantine origins into something more intentional and collaborative, with deeply personal contributions from all members reflecting their individual journeys through difficult times.
The creative spirit continues to flourish across Columbus this summer, from the ambitious $4 million "Software Alley" tech hub being developed downtown to the beloved "From Book to Film" series returning for its 15th year. The free movie program, a collaboration between Columbus Metropolitan Library and Gateway Film Center, will bring literary classics like "The Wizard of Oz" and "Matilda" to life on the big screen from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend—making cultural experiences accessible to families throughout central Ohio.

🎵 Pandemic-born jazz collective Gault finds musical rebirth in isolation. The band, formed by keyboardist Caleb Miller during Covid lockdowns, celebrates their second album "If the Heavens Came Down" with a May 22 concert at Dick's Den. Their new collection moves beyond pandemic themes, featuring contributions from all members including drummer Seth Daly's personal tracks about family loss and separation. Miller describes how the band's dynamic pulls "different things out of me," reflecting his post-pandemic shift toward more intentional musical partnerships rather than spreading himself thin across projects.
🏙️ Columbus tech hub "Software Alley" to cost over $4 million downtown. Rev1 Ventures is planning to create Class A offices in the Peninsula Office Building, sharing space with Ohio State University. The project aims to provide premium workspace for university spinouts and early-stage tech companies to develop products and meet with clients and investors. This development is part of a larger initiative to bring startup activity to downtown Columbus, with the city providing financial support for Rev1's relocation to The Peninsula.
