🍺 Columbus explodes with events for an action-packed weekend ahead. From the final BAM Thursday at Columbus Museum of Art to Becktoberfest at Parsons North Brewing, the city offers diverse entertainment options for all interests. Festival-goers can enjoy the Grandview Hop, Festival for Good, and Happy Hollow Hootenanny celebrating Appalachian culture. Art enthusiasts have multiple options including theatre performances, poetry festivals, and the Columbus Symphony's Masterworks season opener featuring Beethoven's 5th. Food and drink lovers can indulge at the Mac & Cheese Festival or Carfagna's Celebration of Bourbon on Sunday.
🎸 Kyle Sowash's band celebrates 20 years of scrappy, hook-filled rock. What began as a solo project quickly evolved into a tight-knit group with musicians Dan Bandman, Justin Hemminger, and Nick La Russo. Their new album "Start Making Sense" reflects a darker, more cynical worldview while maintaining the band's signature energetic sound. Despite personal struggles, including Sowash losing his mother to COVID and Hemminger facing mental health challenges, the group's friendship has remained the foundation of their musical journey. At its core, Sowash describes the band's purpose simply: "getting together with my friends and drinking beer."
🍖 Hank's Texas BBQ fires up second location in Delaware. The popular barbecue restaurant has expanded with a new outpost along Route 42, marking significant growth for the local chain. While details about the new restaurant's features remain limited in the announcement, this expansion comes amid other retail developments in Central Ohio. The region is seeing activity from major brands including Kroger, Brassica, Costco, and Chick-fil-A, all planning new locations or expansions in the area.
