Cincinnati Live! will be dedicated to sharing the music of outstanding, Cincinnati-based bands that perform mostly original music at local venues, helping to focus attention on one of Cincinnati’s greatest cultural assets–the local live music club scene. The show will also delve into Cincinnati’s popular music history, especially as it relates to King Studios and the formative years of rock-and-roll music.
Host Ed Ratterman is involved in Cincinnati neighborhood revitalization efforts as a commercial development project manager with the City’s Community Development Department. He is also a jazz musician who believes that all kinds of live music performance are an important aspect of urban vitality.
