Vaughn Music Studio to sponsor Taste of UA Music Program

The Taste of UA began as a small gathering of businesses at Tremont Center and grew into an annual event that fills Northam Park. In addition to featuring food from area restaurants and local businesses, there has always been a musical component to the Taste of UA. In past years, local bands such as Willie Phoenix, Avalon Nine, The Ark Band, Cougar Trap, The Majestic’s and McGuffey Lane have performed at the Taste.

“For the first time in the Taste of UA’s 19 years, we are so please that Vaughn Music Studio has agreed to sponsor the festival’s music program. As the Taste event continues to grow, we are also try-ing to grow the musical aspect of the event. Bringing Vaughn on board is essential to the growth of the event as an opportunity for local musicians to gain exposure and entertain the thousands of people who attend the Taste,” says Becky Hajost, president of the Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce.

Vaughn Music Studio’s (VMS) new facility locat-ed on Riverside Drive features multiple acousti-cally isolated les-son rooms, a state of the art record-ing studio, and a 1,000 square feet performance space. VMS is a full-service music studio providing artist development, music instruc-tion and recording, voice, guitar, piano, drums, performance coach-ing, workshops and webinars.

“Vaughn is an asset to Colum-bus’ artistic community. Bring-ing their production know how is essential to growing the Taste as we look to feature more local bands and musicians at the Taste. We hope to evolve into a multi-day festival promoting local music and talent. We love that we give recognition to area restaurants and food vendors, so we think that it is natural to add an expanded musi-cal piece to the Taste of UA.

In brain storming with Collin Gawel of Collin’s Coffee, Cindy Vaughn of Vaughn Music Studios and Doug Ryan, the Chamber’s board president, we came to agree

that we could add an expanded lo-cal music production to the Taste. The Taste has brought recognition to area restaurants, why not to lo-cal musicians as well,” says Hajost.

Residents of Upper Arlington can enjoy music in the parks free during the summer with family-oriented concerts. “Listening to live music, close to home, is one of the wonderful benefits of living

in Upper Arlington. As support-ers of local artists we welcome the opportunity to provide artful en-

counters for our community,” says Lynette Santoro-Au, Arts Man-ager City of Upper Arlington.

This year’s Taste of UA will fea-ture the following local bands.

Central Planners – The Cen-tral Planners blend a vast array of influences and musical experience resulting in a sound that can only be described as original. The end result is music that is melodic, sometimes heavy, with an appro-priate amount of 30-something angst, sarcasm and optimism. Main stage 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Good Company – Central Ohio’s total classic rock experi-ence, Good Company plays your favorite rock music from the late ’60s and early ’70s featuring songs from Fleetwood Mac and Grand Funk Railroad to Bob Seger and Sweet and everything in between. Main stage 6:15 to 7:00 p.m.

Grassinine – Grassinine is a bluegrass-style band that plays all sorts of stuff from Flatt & Scruggs to U2 and everything in between. Main stage 7:15 to 8:30 p.m.

Avalon Nine – Avalon Nine’s music is flavored with the sounds of San Francisco’s Avalon Ball-room and contemporary Ameri-cana. The result is a fresh--- but familiar – sound, and their original material pays homage to Ameri-can folk, rock and pop traditions. Bier Garten stage 6 to 9 p.m.

If you are looking for something fun to do with your entire family, then the Taste of UA is the event for you. The Taste of UA offers food, fun and more and admission is free.

Kids and Buckeye fans alike will enjoy the Buckeye Mobile Tour, which travels throughout the State of Ohio, engaging fans through Buckeye-branded vehicles, interac-tive games and sponsor activities. Along with the Buckeye Mobile Tour, there will be amusement rides, a mobile kiddie train, and a climbing wall for those who dare to reach for the sky.

If it’s a hot day, cool off at Bello Giardino with a run through their water mister. And if you have been participating in the Upper Arlington Public Library’s summer reading club, head over to the dunk tank sponsored

by the UAPL and dunk your favorite librar-ian.

For those with a taste for specialty craft beer, visit the expanded Bier Garten spon-sored by the Heidelberg Distributing Com-pany. Heidelberg will have their beer master on hand to speak about their craft beers. “On tap will be Brooklyn beers and Labatt Blue and we will be serving Woodbridge wines as well this year,” says Dan Diem, General Manager, Heidelberg. This year’s Bier Garten is expanding in size due to its popularity and once again will be located on the south-west side of St. Agatha Catholic Church’s property so that it will have great visibility and easy access.

The Taste of UA will take place rain or shine from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Fun for the entire family
