In the wake of COVID-19 and remote work, I rarely get to do an interview with someone in-person. Oh, and he’s also about to put out his debut solo record, Infinite Spring, under the moniker superviolet. In his spare time away from school, Ciolek walks the streets of Victorian Village with his wife Kosoma and sings Coldplay songs with her, digs for soul vinyls at Used Kids Records on Summit Avenue, has grown to not be all that impressed with the local grub on nearby High Street and volunteers with golfers impacted by chronic pain. It’s an occupation that runs in his family, and it makes sense that the guy who has spent almost two decades chronicling pain through existentialism and young heartbreak can also deduce the source of someone’s bodily pain on a dime. Now, Ciolek is a graduate student studying physiotherapy at Ohio State University, with the hopes of possibly becoming a physical therapist down the road. It was a financial saving grace that allowed the Sidekicks to record and practice infinitely and play with the bands they felt drawn to, not the bands that could snag them big paydays on the road playing house shows and dives across Northeast and Middle Ohio put them in the same company as local legends, like Runaway Brother, Ulysses and Meridian. Touring for over a decade and visiting every city scratched that itch, and he and the band were more than comfortable coming from a place where rent was dirt cheap and the DIY scenes were plentiful. When he was fronting the Sidekicks-the Buckeye State’s beloved coterie of emo, power-pop sharks-hubs like Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia were always destinations, but never fantasies of a possible forever. Honestly to be here in this bright warm hall this evening is really something extraordinary for me, when there is so much darkness in my home country Ukraine,” she said.Steve Ciolek has seen America many times over, but he’s content with staying in Ohio for as long as the state will hold both him and his buds. “It’s fitting that on the night meant to honor them they have once again used their platform to spread a message of peace. Jamala, whose home country of Ukraine has been embroiled in nearly a year of bloody warfare after the Russian invasion, touched on that history of social activism as she introduced the night’s final song. U2′s Bono is also known for his philanthropic work to eradicate poverty and to raise awareness about AIDS. Singers Brandi Carlile, Hozier and Jamala - from the U.S., Ireland and Ukraine, respectively - closed out the show with an emotional version of “Walk On.” Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder sang U2′s “Elevation” and “One.” Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen brought his alter ego Borat to the stage as part of the U2 tribute, pretending to mistake Biden for former President Donald Trump.
In a video taped Saturday, U2 guitarist The Edge noted that a group of four “Irish lads” were being honored for contributions to American culture and said there’s a bond between the group and America that can’t really be explained.
Jazz pianist Jason Moran, singer Alicia Hall Moran and cellist Sterling Elliott played one of León’s creations, “Oh Yemanja.” “How do I convey the extent of your musical genius?” asked actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith.

She also instituted the Brooklyn Philharmonic Community Concert Series and in 2021 received the Pulitzer Prize for her work “Stride,” inspired by women’s rights champion Susan B. The performers were from the Dance Theatre of Harlem, which León helped found when she eventually made her way to New York City. Five ballet dancers took to the stage to honor composer and conductor Tania León, who left Cuba as a refugee in 1967 her passport was stamped “Cancelado” when she left the country.
