Welcome to Ear Plugs

Welcome to Ear Plugs, a music review blog that takes a close look at new and old recordings, live performances, and musicians. Every week, I will provide you with thoughts on one of these subjects. Many of the live performance and musician reviews will come from local talent featured in the Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania area, which is where I am from.

A few of the reviews will surely reflect my own tastes in music. I can tell you right now that I am a huge jam band fan, so any shows in the area pertaining to that genre, I will definitely attend. However, I also want to branch out and listen to some things that I haven’t heard before. Of course, any and all suggestions you might have are welcome.

To tell you a little about why I am writing this blog --- I am currently the Arts and Entertainment Editor for the Stroud Courier, which is the student newspaper for East Stroudsburg University. I’ve spent many semesters traveling around to concerts, meeting musicians, and getting to understand the music biz. I still have a long way to go, but it is my hope that these reviews will help music listeners to do the same.

Enjoy music. Enjoy Ear Plugs.
