"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
Jon Sobel is Blogcritics' Culture and Theater Editor. In addition to reviewing NYC theater, he writes a semi-regular round-up of independent music releases. By day he is a computer professional and a freelance writer and editor, and at night he's a working musician: lead singer, songwriter, and bass player for Whisperado, a founding member of the Kings County Blues Band, and a sideman. His most recent venture is Oren Hope Marketing and Copywriting, through which you can hire him to write whatever marketing materials your heart desires.
