First Friday in Music: August Edition

Another month has come and gone which means we’re due for another First Friday celebration in downtown Dayton.  Here’s your guide to some of the  musical offerings around the city this Friday night:

—Canal Street Tavern will welcome the Black Who’s? to the stage around 9:30pm.  There’s also an extra special early/opening show by Rob MacPherson’s Rock & Roll Workshop.  That’s set to get started around 8pm (doors at 7:30pm)

–For something smooth, head over to J’Alan’s on Ludlow.  Reyna and Dana will be performing along with Al Holbrook.  Holbrook performed a few live tunes on WYSO’s Excursions earlier this week.  You can listen here.

—The Elderly Brothers will be playing at the Trolley Stop on 5th Street.  They bill themselves as cosmic Americana and are reported to have a great live show.

-It’ll be a lovely evening to enjoy Garden Station on 4th Street, and you can explore a great community space while hearing some music courtesy of Luchador surf rockers Team Void.  They’ll be joined by A Shade of Red who just moved on to Round 3 of the Dayton Band Playoffs.  It’s free music starting at 8pm with a bonfire after the sun goes down.

-If Yellow Springs is a bit closer to home or you find yourself out that way and needing some live music, then check out Romeo Champagne at Peach’s Grill.  They’ll be joined onstage by Mercury Mouth for a $5 show that starts around 10pm.
