If you find yourself needing a dance break, background music for your personal podcast or some relief from the pressure of your iPod headphones during PodCamp Ohio, you’re in luck. Mike Genovese, a solo, acoustic musician from Columbus, Ohio (via Cleveland), will provide lunchtime tunes at PCO starting at 12:30p at ITT.

Read his official below to find out more, but I can tell you from experience, it’s sure to be a good time!

Mike captures audiences with his engaging live performances. Inspired by artists Tim Reynolds, Howie Day and Joseph Arthur, Mike incorporates the use of a technique called “looping” or “sampling” that happens LIVE by adding layers of sounds, finally creating the presence of a full band. You’ll be tapping your feet when Mike cuts phat beats (yes, phat…) live on-stage to accompany his songs.

Although still relatively new to the music scene, Mike has shared the stage with many national acts including: Pat McGee Band, Ari Hest, Matt Wertz, Mat Kearney, Jump (little children), Lifehouse, Tim Reynolds, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, Virginia Coalition, Jack Johnson, G. Love and Special Sauce, Blessid Union of Souls, Matt White, ZOX, Michael Tolcher, Rusted Root, Collective Soul, Cary Brothers, The Clarks, Josh Hoge, Mason Jennings, Blue October, Carbon Leaf, Red Wanting Blue, Oval Opus, Mieka Pauley, and The Damnwells.

Watch for Mike’s latest CD due out this year!

Did you know there are other events in Columbus the same weekend as Podcamp Ohio? We obviously want to see you at all of our events, but there are also a lot of great things to check out while you’re in the area.

The Podcamp Ohio event isn’t during football or hockey season, but it does coincide with ComFest, a very special community event that takes place every year in Columbus and would be a great addition to your trip if you have the time. There is a great write-up on what ComFest is all about on their website.

Podcamp Ohio is also the same weekend as Columbus Pride Festival, which is described by many as one of the best pride events in Ohio. If you’d like to support the GLBTQ community and you have the free time while you’re in Columbus, feel free to stop by that event as well.

For other information on Columbus and other things to do such as the Columbus Zoo, Cosi science museum and much more, check out Experience Columbus for more information.
