Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he’s best known for.
With a schedule that includes six months each year on the road, Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper (in both the original Alice Cooper band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie, even in an era where CNN can present real life shocking images.

The annual United Irish of Dayton Celtic Festival – one of Dayton’s largest and most popular outdoor festivals – returns July 26-28. A downtown Dayton tradition since 2002, this free festival attracts more than 90,000 attendees to RiverScape MetroPark.
Saturate your senses in the sights, sounds and tastes of Celtic heritage, as you delight in the enchanting melodies of traditional Celtic music, witness captivating dance performances, and savor authentic culinary delights. The 2024 festival features six headliner bands and several regional performers on various stages of continuous entertainment, in addition to cultural exhibits and food and merchandise vendors.
The Dayton Celtic Festival also serves as the unofficial kick-off to the late summer/early fall festival season in Dayton – but more on that shortly! First, here’s a brief look at this year’s festivities.
Rated one of the top festivals in Dayton, the Celtic Festival boasts three solid days of non-stop entertainment. In addition to three stages with continuous live entertainment, the festival experience includes a 5K/10K run/walk, Whiskey Tastings, Cultural Exhibits and Demonstrations, a Sunday Celtic Mass, a Celtic Marketplace featuring over 40 vendors with unique items from the Celtic nations, numerous food vendors offering tastes from around the world, and extensive selection of beers to enjoy.
Music is one of the festival’s biggest draws – and the 204 musical lineup features several prominent headliners, as well as 20+ regional Celtic acts.
This year’s headlining bands will perform multiple sets throughout the weekend:
Other regional and local acts scheduled to perform at the Dayton Celtic Festival include Dulahan, Dogwood Road, Father Son and Friends, Jameson’s Folly, Miami Valley Pipes and Drums, Celtic Academy of Irish Dance, Dwyer Irish Dance, and McGovern Irish Dance. Performance times for all of these acts can be found at the entertainment section of the festival website.
The Dayton Celtic Festival takes place rain or shine (but don’t worry, there’s plenty of covered seating), and admission is FREE. Festival hours are:
Friday, July 26, 5.30 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Saturday, July 27, 11.30 a.m. – 11 p.m.
Sunday, July 28, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
A full schedule of events for the weekend can be found on the Celtic Festival website. Be sure to check out the parking information on their website, as there will be large crowds and street closures in downtown Dayton during the festival (parts of Patterson Boulevard, Monument Avenue and St. Clair Street will be closed during the festival). A festival map and FAQ can be found online as well.

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.”

On his second album, The Fatalist, Carl “Buffalo” Nichols does things with the blues that might catch you off guard. There’s 808 programming, chopped up Charley Patton samples, washes of synth. There’s a consideration of the fullness of the sonic stage and the atmospherics of the music that can only come with a long engagement with electronic music. But this is no gimmicky hybrid or attempt to turn the blues into 21st century music by simply dressing it with skittering hi-hats. Nichols’ vision for the blues is of a form of music that’s intimately tied to everyday life in 2024, something that’s reflected not only in the choice of instrumentation, but in the complexities of the songwriting and the gray areas his lyrics explore. This is music that comes straight from the present, and as such, it’s a reminder that the same shit that drove the first blues singers to pick up a guitar is still present behind the throbs of deep bass hits today. The Fatalist sounds unlike any blues record you’re likely to hear in 2024.

Lauren Anderson honed her blues-ridden, lyric-driven craft in the suburbs of Chicago. With an undergraduate degree in Opera and a Masters in Music Therapy, she now resides in Nashville, TN where she is a full-time musician. Although her talent stands alone with awards, such as Female Vocalist of the year in 2015 by the Midwest Music Awards and Best New Blues Artist in 2022 by the Independent Blues Awards, she has also shared the stage with the likes of Beth Hart, Samantha Fish and Mike Zito to name a few. She has co-written with writers, such as Sean Michael Kelly, previously in the band “Six Pence none the Richer” & Sandy Ramos, who wrote “The Chicks” 1998 hit, “Let ‘Er Rip”. Lauren just released her third, self-produced studio album in September 2022, titled, “Burn It All Down”, which debuted at #12 on the Billboard Blues Charts and she’s looking forward to her next adventure.

25 years since we first journeyed across the continent with fiddles and banjos blazing, the unstoppable spirit of Old Crow remains,” says Ketch Secor. “Like every new year since the first, the guys and I are excited for another spin around the country. We’re grateful for the lifelong passionate love affair with our amazing audience and the incredible land we share. Come one, come all and join in our jubilee.”
The highly anticipated follow-up to Old Crow Medicine Show’s acclaimed 2022 album Paint This Town, Jubilee was co-produced with Matt Ross-Spang and features special guests including Mavis Staples, Sierra Ferrell, and Willie Watson, who recorded with the band for the first time in over 10 years on their single “Miles Away” (watch their recent performance here). The single spent nine weeks in the Top 10 at Americana Radio during an 18-week chart run.
