The Tri-State has such a killer music scene and we want to give local bands the opportunity to showcase upcoming shows and ways for fans to connect online in a brand new segment.
Each week we are going to spotlight a local band to give our viewers a taste of all the different music styles greater Cincinnati has at its finger tips.
The "Band of the Week" segment will cover ways you can follow local bands on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and fan sites.
Viewers will also learn where upcoming shows and appearances will take place and we may even invite your band here to the studio to perform live.
To be considered as a "Band of the Week", contact Katie Clavey via email at

Eric Sean Nally vocals Loren Daniel Turner guitars Daisy Caplan bass Schuyler Vaughn White- keyboards Alex Nauth horns/backing vocals Aaron McVeigh drums The band’s name, Foxy Shazam, came from a saying in lead singer and founding member, Eric Nally's high school, meaning, "
cool shoes." If you had cool shoes, kids would say those are “Foxy Shazam."
The band has been together since 2004 and was the spotlight band for the 2011 Vans Warped Tour and their single "Unstoppable" was featured in the Superbowl in 2010, as well as included on the
Spin (magazine) list of "Ten Bands You Need To Know".
A quotation from lead singer Eric Sean Nally about the band's influence: "When I listen to a Foxy Shazam record I think of Evel Knievel; Bruce Springsteen; my childhood; Van Morrison; my old friends from high school I don't talk to anymore; Elton John; the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and beyond; Iggy Pop; and my first kiss."
Foxy Shazam isn't concerned with what category they fall into, they just want to stand for their generation and become "The Biggest Band in the World."
