Feb 24 is the Weekend of Jazz headline performance at Beavercreek High School Auditorium and features renowned saxophonist and member of Dave Matthews Band, Jeff Coffin. Jeff Will be joined by special friends Bob Lanzetti (guitar), Felix Pastorius (bass) and Jordan Perlson (percussion).
This rare opportunity to see four noted jazz performers together on one stage and promises to be a high-energy performance fans can’t miss. Many are familiar with Coffin’s musical prowess with DMB, but he’s also a three-time Grammy Award winner with the genre-defying Bela Fleck and the Flecktones as well as a globally celebrated composer and educator. Jeff will be joined by an amazing lineup of stellar musicians he knows personally and professionally. Bob Lanzetti (founding member of Snarky Puppy) will be on guitar for this gig. Felix Pastorious (the son of jazz legend Jaco Pastorious) and former member of the Yellowjackets promises to be lit on six-string fretted base. Percussionist and educator Jordan Perlman will slay the beat. The audience will be sure to recognize his style as he has credits on over a hundred recordings including national ad campaigns.
Coffin’s 2022 Grammy nominated Between Dreaming and Joy was released on his own music label (Ear Up Records) . He’s also a Yamaha performing artist and clinician and teaches improvisation at the Vanderbilt University. This will be Jeff Coffin’s third time at WOJ.

The acclaimed local band Bohemian Funk releases their “Roots” album with an epic party at The Brightside Music and Event Venue on Saturday, January 28th. This band makes Dayton proud, and everyone is invited to join in the celebration!
Since their big win at the Battle of the Bands, the 4-piece has been touring the Midwest extensively. While touring, the band was discovered by a talent scout while visiting Nashville, who introduced them to the Grammy award-winning producer and engineer Jeffrey Thomas. Working with musicians like Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, Toto, Metallica, and many more, Jeff has a resume that is miles long. He became interested in the band right away. Jeff’s industry knowledge and rock music experience made the two an ideal match. The band started working with him to make their first debut album in June 2021 in his Nashville, Tennessee, facility, Stormbringer Sound. They released “Back Home,” the first song they had made with Jeff, in December 2021.
Bohemian Funk is comprised of Rocko Dalian (lead vocalist, guitarist), Patrick Arnold (lead guitar), and Graham Werts (drums). Casey Beasley (bass) is the newest member of the band, who joined in late 2021. They deliver a fantastic live experience with their stage presence, contagious energy, and expert musicianship at every performance.
