The Jamboree and firsts happening in May

Just three more weekends until the first ever Bellbrook Jamboree.

The Jamboree will be May 16th, 17th, 18th at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia. It is a weekend of camping and music featuring national and regional Bluegrass and Americana artists.

The line-up includes such national performers as The Dan Tyminski Band, Josh Ritter, Dry Branch Fire Squad, King Wilkie, and The Farewell Drifters. Also local performers like the Wild Breed Boys and Wes Tirey will perform.

In preparation for the first event of it’s kind, I will begin a series posts introducing the bands who are playing. Stay Tuned.

Visit www.bellbrookjamboree.com for tickets and more info.

The other big May first will be the first ever ‘Rock for RAINN’ concert.

The other big May first will be the first ever ‘Rock for RAINN’ concert.

This rock and roll benefit for RAINN (rape, abuse, and incest national network) is scheduled for Sunday, May 18th.

It will be an all day affair featuring ten bands at Club Masque beginning at 3pm.

Event organizer and bass player for local indie band the Gem City Saints Raymond Whistel, told me last week that “Rock for RAINN is a go” and that “the line up and sponsors are set in stone.”

The line-up is as follows: Switchblade Serenade, Accidently On Purpose, Luxury Pushers, Chow Pow Socialite, Grizzzzy Bear, Freak The Mighty, The Revulvas, Gem City Saints, Atomic Johnny, and The Sics.

'Hamlet 2' [movies]

Plenty of laughs are in store in the comedy smash of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Steve Coogan plays high-school drama coach Dana Marschz. While trying to stage a lighthearted sequel to Shakespeare's famous tragedy he faces laughable hardships including a bender that leaves him lurching into a liquor store on roller skates in search of the cheapest booze. His flock of students includes one mute girl who's the object of as many random assaults as Kenny from "South Park." And the stage production at the movie's climax includes a song called "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus." More »
