about me

From Bowie to Baez, Cash to The Cult, music that touches you stays with you. When my parents asked me as a child if I wanted to take dance lessons or join the school band, the choice was clear. I learned to read and write music, documenting every tremble and every tear worth remembering. Finding myself in songs and then losing myself again, I strummed my Gibson Epiphone, sang and played flute. Originally a music critic from Ohio, I traveled the path of alternative newsweeklies until graduating with a master’s degree from Ball State University in journalism. Having interviewed hundreds of national and regional bands, I’ve left no music genre behind. I’ve experienced both sides of the fence — as a performer and an audience member. I call to our readers for news and support. Let’s make this the best scene we can, for songwriters and music fans alike. Join me as we pull on our headphones and listen to the sweet, fuzzy hum of a lo-fi fix, filtering pure poetic sound. LBENSON@NUVO.NET
