​

Good morning, Powell. From death's door to center stage, Columbus musician Tim Ramage's extraordinary journey from a 10-minute fatal electrocution to spiritual rebirth has manifested in "Weird Feathers," the debut album from his band Did'ja. The near-death experience permanently altered his voice while his conversion to Catholicism infused his songwriting with faith-inspired lyrics and what he describes as divinely guided creativity. Catch their record release show September 12 at Rumba Cafe.

Fall is transforming our region into a seasonal paradise, with Westerville leading the way through its 26 scenic parks and signature events like The Great Pumpkin Glow. Meanwhile, Medicare enrollment season approaches with free guidance available at Union County Senior Services on September 17 – perfect timing as the open enrollment window runs October 15 through December 7. Officials emphasize reviewing coverage annually as benefits and costs frequently change.

🎸 Near-death experience fuels Columbus band's spiritual rock revival. "Weird Feathers," the debut album from Did'ja, emerged after frontman Tim Ramage survived a 10-minute death from electrocution that permanently altered his voice. The album blends faith-inspired lyrics with shapeshifting sounds, as Ramage's recent conversion to Catholicism infuses the songwriting process he describes as divinely guided. The band embraces imperfections and "happy mistakes" in their recording approach, creating music that feels like a collective shaking off of COVID isolation's stillness. Their record release show is scheduled for September 12 at Rumba Cafe.
