I love the "original" part of the Dayton music scene, and nothing signifies that more than when one of our own releases new music. On Friday night, celebrate with Abertooth Lincoln as they release their new EP "Selling the Urban Ideal." Dayton alternative faves My Latex Brain and Grand Mammoth are kicking off the night. Very rock'n'roll! 9pm. $5 cover. 21+

Celebrate Elvis's birthday with a special show at Gilly's Jazz featuring award winning tribute artist Ryan Roth and the Comeback Special Band.

Worthy got in touch with me to share in his enthusiasm for this show: "I am super excited to bring the One-On-One tour to Dayton this weekend. It will be my first time playing in Dayton and I have heard nothing but great things from other artists who have come through to play in the past. Judging from the reaction so far to this lineup, I'm convinced the night is going to get a little crazy! The Stanton Warriors are some of my favorite guys to play with and we have always created a bit of a frenzy on the dance floor. I love their unique sound and the way they hype the crowd, so I know this will be a memorable show and one of the stops on the tour I have been anticipating the most. Absolutely looking forward to crushing it!"
