Againthegrainblog.com provides interviews with innovative musicians, artists, educators, comedians, inventors, activists, and other interesting people who are actively contributing to society. In addition, Againstthegrainblog.com provides articles and tips on things to do, see, experience, and brings awareness to fresh ideas.

"I've always felt myself drifting that way...against the grain, never knowing when I might eventually conform in some way. Eventually, things stayed the same, and I just kept going further and further...Until I realized I was going in the right direction for me, a creative person.

It's nice to see a crossroads of commentary that somehow justifies my random, spontaneous, joyful, sad, ambiguous, truthful, inspirational, and blow-by-the-wind existence which has become the ART of my life going against the grain." – Josh Hyde, Writer/Director Chicle

Creators Jessica Derfler and Elizabeth Koopman decided to start Againsthebrainblog.com because their current positions left them less than stimulated. To keep their creative minds relevant they started a site where they post all things interesting to them and which they believe will be fascinating to the public.
Our goal is to expand our minds with Art, Culture, Music, Film, Philanthropy and whatever else peaks our interests. That being said, we also want to assist you in doing the same, and if we post something that does just that for you, we encourage you to explore that even more. We guarantee that we've only scratched the surface, when you dig deeper, you can personalize it to your needs and likes, and in time it will help make your life better and more fulfilling.

“Against the Grain has become my daily stop for all things new and exciting in the worlds of culture and entertainment. These ladies have their fingers on the pulse of what's hot and I delight in their daily offerings.” – Melissa Garvey, Owner/Blogger www.earbudz.wordpress.com
Againsthegrainblog.com’s vision is to become the premier website for culture seeking, change making, life-enriching persons providing relevant and entertaining information across all media including web, mobile, and TV.
