R&B, Soul Singer Tony Williams to Perform at Oral Funk Poetry Show

July 18, 2012 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Tony Williams

If the name Tony Williams doesn’t ring an immediate bell, his voice probably will. Williams has performed with numerous hip-hop and R&B artists including Jay-Z, Nas, Rick Ross and Kanye West. In fact, Williams’ recent performance on West’s “All of the Lights” earned the vocalist his fourth Grammy.

Williams will be at the Loft Theatre in Dayton on July 20th to headline Oral Funk Poetry’s latest installment of “The Signature: A Poetic Medley Show,” This time around the theme is Poetic Soul Fusion and Fyah’ Stahtahs will play live jazz, funk, R&B and neo-soul music in addition to Williams’ performance.

Also on the bill is international poet I Am Tasha Jones, who’s opened for Lauryn Hill’s Moving Target tour and has performed with Erykah Badu. Columbus based poet Williams Evans will emcee the evening.

The show is 9-11pm on July 20th. Tickets are available through Ticket Center Stage’s website.

For information on future events from Oral Funk Poetry Productions, visit their website.

According to Okay Lindon’s Facebook page, the band has been hard at work to a follow up to their 2012 album, Rotating Dates.  A release date for the new project hasn’t been announced yet, but in the meantime you can check out the band live this Friday night at Blind Bob’s along with Roley Yuma, Post Coma Network and Bridget Egan.  For details on this and other upcoming shows, check out the Dayton Most Metro events calendar.

Shrug, The Rebel Set & Sam at Eleven Play Cancer Benefit on Saturday

April 13, 2012 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

The Rebel Set performing at Blind Bob's

One of the things that makes the Dayton music scene great is a willingness on the part of so many bands to play shows that help out the larger community (in addition to keeping us all entertained.  One such show is happening this Saturday (April 14th at Blind Bob’s in the Oregon District.  Shrug, The Rebel Set and Sam at Eleven will perform an evening of music for a mere $5 at the door.  That money will go to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Greene County. More details are available at the Dayton Most Metro Events Calendar.

Guggenheim Grotto Comes to Canal Street Tavern

April 11, 2012 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

The Guggenheim Grotto (Photo by Deborah Lopez)

Originally compared with Simon & Garfunkle, Dublin alt-folk duo The Guggenheim Grotto has been hard at work prepping a new album while touring in support of their third album, The Universe Is Laughing.  The album was largely written and recorded in hotel rooms and living rooms while the duo toured the United States.  They’ve been praised by NPR’s World Cafe and KCRW for their folk tunes mixed with a bit of electro-pop.

You can see Guggenheim Grotto tomorrow night (April 12th) at Canal Street Tavern along with Dayton’s own BJSR.  This will be BJSR’s last local show until August as Ben Rivet is heading out on the road in promotion of his Go W/The Flow project with local yoga instructor Tori Reynolds.

A few weeks ago, we told you about Oh Condor’s new cassette EP, Reflector, out now on Gas Daddy Go Records.  What we didn’t tell you is that the band also has a new music video.  You can catch them live on March 24 at South Park Tavern with the Lab Partners and The Flesh Pets.

First Friday is once again upon us, and there are tons of great options for live music this month.  There are also tons of great food options downtown so why not combine the two and head over to Jay’s Restaurant on 6th Street.  Puzzle of Light will be performing at 9pm so you can do a late dinner (reservations recommended) or just enjoy desert or something from the bar and some tunes.  Puzzle of Light will be joined by guest artist Laylia, a local dancer.

Gas Daddy Go! Records Celebrates Releases from Motel Beds, Oh Condor

February 23, 2012 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Founded in 1989, Gas Daddy Go! Records had been mostly inactive for the past 10 years.  However, after the label’s relaunch in late 2011, the label has wasted no time in putting out some great local music.  Their first release was the Smug Brothers’ Treasure Virgins EP, which coincided with the label’s relaunch.  Treasure Virgins was the first in what will be a series of EPs released on cassette and accompanied by download codes.

“I’m excited to have the label up and running again,” said Don Thrasher, found of Gas Daddy Go! Records, upon the label’s relaunch. “I’m even more stoked that we’ve returned to our roots and are once again releasing new projects on cassette. Of course, now we have added the modern twist of being able to include a free download with each tape we release so we can offer the perfect balance of analog and digital.”

Thrasher has teamed up with Smug Brothers bandmate and Dayton Music Fest co-organizer, Kyle Melton for this incarnation of the label.

Saturday, February 25th, will mark two more releases from Gas Daddy Go!: new EPs from The Motel Beds and Oh Condor, both on the cassette/download format.  Both EPs are currently available for pre-order at the official Gas Daddy Go! website.  There will be a release party for the “Low Noise” and “Reflector” on February 25th at South Park Tavern featuring performances by the Motel Beds, Oh Condor, Roley Yuma and Pretty & Nice (Boston).

Look for more local releases from Gas Daddy Go! later this year including music from King Elk, Astro Fang, Me and Mountains, Roley Yuma, and The Esther Caulfield Orchestra.

February 20, 2012 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

It’s funny when things work out.  I spent all morning trying to find the perfect Presidents’ Day music video to no avail, but luckily, our friends at The Music Seen tipped me off to a great show happening this week with a slight presidential or rather First Lady connection.  Hailing from Louisville, KY, The Ladybirds will perform Thursday night at South Park Tavern with local openers, Army of Infants.  Check out our events calendar for more info.
