Garin Pirnia was raised on a healthy diet of MTV and Top 40 radio in the suburbs of Dayton, OH but one day she realized she wanted to make movies, so she moved to Hollywood. After realizing they just didn’t give out three picture deals on Sunset Blvd., she decided to move back to the Midwest.  Formerly based in Chicago for 7 years and now based in Cincinnati/Northern KY, she’s written about arts and culture with an emphasis on music, film and travel for over 30 local and national publications including Rolling StoneThe Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog, MyCityWay, AirTran’s in-flight magazine Go, TimeOut Chicago, The Onion AV Club, NewCity Chicago, AOL/Spinner.com, Chicago Innerview, WonkaVision, MyOpenBar.com, HelloMetro.com, Cincinnati Metromix, Cincinnati Enquirer and Cincinnati Magazine. She’s interviewed hundreds of bands and has covered music fests in seven different cities and six states, which has taught her a lot about endurance.
