Monthly Musical Interlude: Songs About Ohio

For the last few days, I’ve been adding to this collage (on Padlet–it’s an online bulletin board that anyone can add to! Very fun.) of songs about Ohio. Some of the songs are about the state, some are about the Ohio River…almost all have to do with nostalgia.

I find it fascinating that a number of them are sonically similar, especially in voice/arrangement/genre. What is it about soft, semi-gruff male voices singin’ about the state in which I live?

In these interludes, poet and singer-songwriter, Hannah Stephenson invites you to eavesdrop on the music bouncing around her brain. She’d love to hear your thoughts, your inner soundtrack, and what band inspired that shrine in your bedroom.
