Ekoostik Hookah
The region's most esteemed "Jam" band, the legendary Ekoostik Hookah, are often pointed to by music industry pundits as a band that is doing things the right way -- on their own. With a fan base kept fertile by the band's steady touring regimen, the band has become a successful "business," putting out their own records (and keeping all of the net profits -- cha-ching!) and handling every aspect of their careers independently. Of course, it's all about the music, and if you've seen this wonderfully eclectic band in concert, you'll already know that it's a rainbow-flavored sensory-wrangling exploration through rootsy Rock & Roll, much like their latest album Ohio Grown. Live is where they shine though, so keep those holiday good vibes going for the Central Ohio-based band's smack-dab-in-the-middle-of-X-mas-and-New-Year's-Eve marathon show this weekend.
At Bogart's on Saturday.
