    [FREE EVENT] Loveland Music Boosters host world-renowned trumpet player Brad Goode

    Loveland, Ohio World-renowned trumpet player, composer and educator Brad Goode will perform his music with the Loveland High School Jazz bands on Saturday, May 12. The free concert, held in the Loveland High School auditorium, starts at 7:30 PM and follows two jazz clinics offered by Goode during the day.

    Brad Goode has toured and recorded with the bands of many of jazz music’s great performers, including Von Freeman, Red Rodney, Al Cohn, Ira Sullivan and the Woody Herman Orchestra, to name only a few. He led his own orchestra in Chicago from 1985 until 1998, including a stint as leader of the house band at the famous entertainment venue Green Mill Cocktail Lounge. As cultural ambassador for former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Goode led jazz groups on tours of Asia and the Middle East. The Chicago Tribune named him one of the most influential Chicagoans of the 1980s for being a major catalyst in the revitalization of the Chicago jazz scene.

    For the past 20 years, Goode has primarily performed as a freelance lead trumpeter, working and recording with numerous ensembles. He has served on the faculties of several universities, among them the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. He is currently associate professor of jazz studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.

  • Loveland graduate Ryan Mangan and Pocket release second album and Delusion music video

    Loveland graduate Ryan Mangan and Pocket release second album and Delusion music video

    Pocket released their first music video on Tuesday

    by David Miller,

    Loveland, Ohio – Loveland 2016 graduate Ryan Mangan and his alternative rock band, Pocket, released their second album in August. The Things You Think At Night is available on Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon Music. Mangan self-produced, wrote and performed nearly the entire album. In collaboration with Loveland senior and Loveland Magazine writer, Sam Smith, Pocket released their first music video on Tuesday.

    The Delusion music video is a mix of live action, digital and practical VFX and 3d computer renderings. The video tells a story through hands, statues and falling actors.

    2017 Loveland graduate, Jacalyn Parsley is featured in the music video Delusion

    The video was shot over the course of only two days on a shoestring budget and with almost no crew. The Delusion music video stars 2017 Loveland graduate, Jacalyn Parsley and was produced with help from Loveland High School seniors Ricky Vilar and Stone Taul.

    “Delusion is about all the unwanted anxiety that comes when you’re falling for someone. You start to wonder if they like you back, if they feel same. After a while you kind of just get to this point of ‘let’s stop thinking about this stuff, I’m not going to figure it out right now’,” Mangan explained.

    Sam Smith is a photographer, videographer and writer for Loveland Magazine and award-winning independent film producer

    The video is largely based around looping, long exposure stop-motion sequences created with a device called a Pixelstick. The Pixelstick works by “scanning” across individual pixels of an image in succession and are captured by moving the device laterally in a long exposure. Smith created images and sequences that were loaded onto the tool, and then it was moved laterally hundreds of time, displaying slightly varied frames. This created the illusion of movement and a holographic-like effect that is easier seen than described. Smith said, “Yeah, it was two months of spending most of my free time editing since it was so effects heavy.”

    In the studio shooting Delusion

    “Honestly I don’t know much about videography, but I had seen some videos that Smith had done before and he’s just flat out amazing with that stuff,” said Mangan. He gave Smith some ideas for what he wanted the video to be like, and then he took it from there and beyond, is how Mangan described the collaboration.

    Ryan Mangan

    Mangan is now a sophomore at  pursuing music production. His band’s first EP, L’Appelle Du Vide, can be found here.

    “The video goes past my wildest dreams honestly. Shooting was a lot of fun as well, I’ve never done anything like this before so seeing it come from the start to the end was a very cool process,” Mangan said.

    “Shooting the music video was an incredible experience. It was a lot of run-and-gun, shooting from the hip and making things up as we went along,” said Smith who added, “It was a pretty ambitious project for our resources, so we tried to embrace the flaws and go for a little bit of a low-fi look.” Smith said it was his first time doing something like this and he felt that he was able to put a lot of his own style and aesthetic into the piece. “Working with Ryan was wonderful– he gave me a great song and pretty much total creative freedom. I’m really excited to see where his career goes,” Smith explained.

    In addition to being a photographer, videographer, and writer for Loveland Magazine, Smith is president of the Loveland High School Film Club, Overture Award recipient and has had work shown at festivals such as NFFTY, AAHSFF, Vidcon and Nashville Film Festival.

    The video is available on the Pocket Youtube Channel. Keep up with Mangan’s new releases on Spotify, Apple Music, and Twitter. You can follow Smith’s work on Instagram and Vimeo.

    Saturday Sep. 16th
    4 to 10 PM


    Nisbet Park – Downtown Loveland


    A note from Loveland Canoe & Kayak

    Join us this Saturday as we come together in support of Loveland Canoe & Kayak Manager Joey Oberholzer. Joey has worked for our family for five years. For those of you who have been to our livery, you know Joey is the heartbeat of Loveland Canoe & Kayak.

    On July 10th after hanging out with friends Joey was on his way home when he took a serious fall, fracturing his spine and neck. He underwent 2 major surgeries, one to fix his fractured neck and another to stabilize and repair his spine. His doctors said that it is remarkable he survived the fall and subsequent surgeries. He spent about a month working hard at the Drake Center with his doctors and therapists and has recently returned home. 

    Although this accident was a terrible tragedy, we know that Joey will not let it define him. He will fight ever day to get stronger, and with help from his family, friends, doctors, nurses, physical therapists and generous donors, he will move forward and create a brilliant life.

    Joey’s expenses will be major, including rehab, therapy and modifying his home for his new mobility needs.  Our goal is to raise money to cover expenses that are not covered by insurance.  We hope that you can join us and support Joey.
