North by Northside

05/26/2026

Northside is an incredibly special corner of Cincinnati and I’m proud to call it home to my musical endeavors. To every performer, venue, sound person, bartender, gear backliner, cook, sponsor, and attendee, THANK YOU!!!! It was such a lovely weekend around Northside and it wouldn’t happen without all the different parts coming together.

Not only was NXNS.26 an absolute blast, but the sneak peak at what I have in store for La Bamba couldn’t have gone better!!

Raise your Slimerz high and let’s all give Northside the cheers it deserves!!!

If you have any pictures or videos you’d like to share, please DM me here or email to [email protected]

Thank you all and we’ll see you again next year!!!

I’m over the moon for this year’s shirts and tanks!! As always .lady.em absolutely crushed the design

I love keeping North by Northside free to show off the neighborhood and the incredible talent we have in the region. Even with the generous sponsorship from there are still plenty more costs associated with organizing and promoting an event of this size, so every t-shirt purchase literally helps make North by Northside a reality!!

This year’s shirts are GLOW-IN-THE-DARK printed on super soft Next Level Apparel T-shirts and Bella+Canvas Tanks using zero-touch discharge inks

Presale from now until May 17th - pickup shirts at the beverage booth at Hoffner Park during NXNS!! Shipping also available through USPS

North by Northside returns to Earth on Saturday and Sunday, May 23rd and 24th. Venues, performers, and other details will be announced shortly after a brief blackout in communications as we observe the dark side of the moon. All systems go.

A million thanks to .lady.em for the otherworldly artwork

What an incredible weekend and such a great way to kick off the warmer months! Many thanks to everyone that played, attended, ran sound, poured beers, cooked food, cleaned up, and carried gear. Thanks to Rhinegeist for sponsoring both Hoffner Park and the event as a whole. And a galactic-sized thank you to everyone that stepped up to help curate their venues!!

Devin and Jess at Radio Artifact, Travis at Shake-It, Mandy at Mixwell’s, Robert at Boxelder, K at Hoffner Pub, Rob at Chameleon, Justin and Craig at The Lounge, Henry at Collective Espresso, thank you for bringing your perspectives to NXNS.25

A special thank you to Souli at Blue Jay! Having the restaurant open late full of music, food, and community was absolutely magical, and that golden hour was extra rad.
