The Columbus Music Scene just received a much needed boost with the debut of the city’s newest bar

June 8, 2010 - PRLog -- In Japanese, KOBO means “artist's work space” – and owners Nick Wolak and Jacob Wooten strive to embody this meaning in all aspects of their business.

“We take pride in our performance space, sound system, service and staff. Expect to see and hear many exciting changes from KOBO in an effort to support & better the music scene in Columbus” said Wolak.

The new venue continues the live music tradition of Oldfield’s on High – which operated in the same location for over 20 years.

KOBO’s Grand Opening will take place July 4th to July 10th and includes some of Columbus’ top local talent (Ill Atmospherics, The Compressions, Illogic, Rosehips, The Receiver, Envelope, & DJ Self Help). The venue is currently open and fully operational, with many improvements in-store for this month.
