Lyle Lovett Returns to The Rose

March 19, 2024 By Dayton Most Metro

4x GRAMMY Award-winning singer, composer and actor Lyle Lovett will embark on an extensive tour this summer with his Large Band.  The tour will include a stop in Huber Heights, OH for a performance at Rose Music Center at The Heights on Friday, July 26.

 

Whether touring with his Large Band, Acoustic Group, or in conversation and song format, Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of the Texas legend’s talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating artists in popular music.

The upcoming performances will feature songs from across Lovett’s extensive catalog, including his latest album, 12th of June, which was produced by Lovett and Chuck Ainlay. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the record further highlights Lovett’s ability to fuse elements of jazz, country, western swing, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Of the album, The Wall Street Journal hails, “Few artists can bring all of these moods and sounds into one place and put a personal stamp on them all; Lyle Lovett does that.”

Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, he has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. Among his many accolades, besides four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award, was named Texas State Musician and is a member of both the Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Association Hall of Fame and the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday, March 22 at Ticketmaster.comand the Rose Music Center Box Office.

HYRDER- Grateful Dead Tribute Band

March 17, 2024 By Dayton937

Hyryder to The Brightside on Friday, March 22nd! They are an amazing Grateful Dead tribute band – and they’re stoked to make their Dayton debut. Advance tickets are just $15 here: https://www.venuepilot.co/events/94405/orders/new#/
ABOUT HYRYDER:
Hyryder – regarded as the Midwest’s premier Grateful Dead tribute band, has been captivating audiences with their riveting live performances since 2008. The quintet – Charlie Morgan (lead guitar, vocals), Nick Neureiter (drums, vocals), Eric Thompson (rhythm guitar, vocals), Blair Ping (bass, vocals) and Kirby Hammel (keyboards, vocals), is the embodiment of passion, devotion, and the unwavering love for the legendary band that influenced a generation. Their quest to keep the Dead’s music alive has become their mission, and they carry this torch with distinction.
Hyryder’s live performances are an immersive experience that transports the audience to a place where time ceases to exist. Their set lists are always unique, tailored to each show, allowing for a level of spontaneity that keeps even the most seasoned Deadheads on the edge of their seats. The band’s ability to recreate both the improvisational and composed aspects of Dead’s music with such accuracy is breathtaking, with extended jams that take on a life of their own, culminating in moments of musical transcendence.
Over a decade of legendary shows across the Midwest has garnered them a loyal following that grows with every performance. Their appearances at The Mousetrap in Indianapolis are always eagerly anticipated, and their reputation has earned them a spot at the prestigious Skull & Roses Festival in Ventura, California, where they showcased their talents to an even wider audience. In 2023 Hyryder has played major sets at All In Festival, and Gratefulfest.
Hyryder’s music is more than just a tribute to the Grateful Dead; it’s a celebration of life, love, and the human spirit.

The Fourth Annual Dayton Battle of the Bands Finale

March 5, 2024 By Brandon Berry

 

The fourth annual Dayton Battle of the Bands finale takes place on Saturday, March 9, 2024, at The Brightside Music (905 E 3rd St, Dayton, OH 45402), and features six winning bands from each of the playoff rounds.

The finalists from all six weeks include The Bruins (pop/rock), Sheller (alt/punk/metal), Austin Wolfe (Americana/folk), The Shady Pine (country/bluegrass), Melinamarie (hip-hop/R&B), and Freakquency (funk/jam/progressive).

While the finalists were determined in their categories via a combination of audience and judges’ votes, the final round will be 100% determined by the audience. 

“We do ranked-choice voting so that alleviates the popularity contest issue,” said Libby Ballengee, music booker and promoter at The Brightside. “People can come and vote for their fave band, but sometimes everyone loves one band and they get everyone’s 2nd place vote, and that puts them over the top.”

By eliminating the element of bias, relying entirely on the audience feels like an objective method of choosing a winner.

“I don’t know that any panel of judges I could put together would be fair considering we all have genres we like more than others,” said Ballengee.

Previous weeks’ performances were on The Brightside’s smaller Vod-Vil Bar stage, while final competing bands will make their musical cases and perform once more on the Ballroom stage.

Vying for the Grand Prize, the winner gets a free EP recording session with Dayton Sound Studios and the opportunity to perform at Levitt Pavilion Dayton, among other rewards from Little Monster Printing and Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory.

Dayton Battle of the Bands 2023 winner, crabswithoutlegs, a jazzy nine-piece, has quickly become one of Dayton’s darlings, playing the Levitt and becoming a staple act at The Brightside. There’s a good case to be made for the potential of this year’s winner.

Tickets to Dayton Battle of the Bands are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m. The show starts at 7 p.m. Each ticketholder will be granted one vote.

The Brightside Music & Event Venue is located at 905 E 3rd St, Dayton, OH 45402.

Ludacris Coming To Fraze

February 16, 2024 By Dayton937

On Thurs July 18th Ludacris, famous for  singles “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad” will appear in Kettering.  Tickets will go on sale on Sat, Feb 24th at 10am and range from $45.50-70.

The career of the multi-talented CHRIS “LUDACRIS” BRIDGES can best be described as remarkable. As a recording artist, he has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide, thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad.” All of these records were accompanied by ingenious videos that demonstrated Bridges’ far-reaching imagination, and his willingness to stretch the boundaries of what rap videos should look and feel like.

With an unrivaled match of lyrical acumen, wit, and imagery, Ludacris has solidified himself as one of music’s premier entertainers. His versatility and artistic complexity also enabled him to make a seamless transition to acting, including the fan favorite role of “Tej” in Universal Pictures’ box office phenomenon Fast & Furious franchise where he was introduced for the first time in 2003 in 2 Fast 2 Furious. He reprised his role of “Tej” for the seventh time in Fast X, released May 2023.

His other notable feature film credits include Garry Marshall’s ensemble comedy New Year’s Eve, Ivan Reitman’s romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, Paul Higgin’s Crash which received an Academy Award for Best Picture in 2006 and Hustle & Flow which earned Bridges a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

As a father of four girls, his latest ventures fittingly include launching his educational platform devoted to the enrichment of children called “KidNation.” In addition, Bridges created the animated series KARMA’S WORLD which launched in the Top 10 in 42 countries on Netflix, received two NAACP Award nominations and is already on its fourth season. The series for children ages 6-9 is a coming-of-age story about a young Black girl finding her voice and using it to change her world — originally inspired by Chris’s oldest daughter Karma and based on the interactive educational website of the same name created by Karma’s World Entertainment in 2009.

A consummate businessman, Ludacris is enjoying success outside of entertainment. One of his most successful ventures includes opening his long-anticipated restaurant “Chicken-n-Beer” at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport with a new location at LAX.

Bridge’s philanthropic efforts rival his entertainment accomplishments. He started The Ludacris Foundation in 2001 which focuses on helping the youth in his hometown of Atlanta and has partnered with No Kid Hungry and Feeding America.
