OSU Student Puts Own Twist On Buckeye Band Tunes

As a kid attending Ohio State football games with his dad, Jon Lampley recalls being as fascinated by the university's band as he was the game. Now a senior at OSU, Lampley not only played four years with the school's marching band, he also put his own twist on some of the classics. Lampley explains his approach in producing a 7-track cd called Fight The Team.

A jazz studies major, Jon Lampley graduates in May. He says the feedback so far on his Fight The Team cd has surpassed his expectations. Lampley plans to continue to write and perform music and eventually pursue grad school so he can teach. You can hear more of his music at WCBE's Buckeye Bash Saturday at Woodland's Tavern.     

Mike Foley joined WCBE in February 2000, coming from WUFT in Gainesville, Florida. Foley has worked in various roles, from producing news and feature stories to engineering Live From Studio A sessions. A series of music features Foley started in 2018 called Music Journeys has grown into a podcast and radio show. He also assists in developing other programs in WCBE's Podcast Experience. Foley hosts The Morning Mix, a weekday music show featuring emerging and established musicians, our Columbus-area and Ohio-based talent, and additional artists that inspire him.
